The biggest reason I come here is not for the technical threads (although I enjoy them very much), and its not for the funny/crazy threads, although, I enjoy them too. I come here for the chamraderie! Plain and simple.
The problem was simple... The "chat threads" as you put it, were starting to overrun the site. Every time I clicked New Threads, there were several of them.
Now, by chat threads I mean threads that were essentially without a real topic. They were in large part a "can I say something more useless then the last guy" contest.
Now, if there are a few members who want to go somewhere else because I asked those threads to stop for awhile, then that saddens me. However, there are many members here and most want to talk about cars mostly, which is our primary reason for being here.
The moderators and I work hard to give you guys a good site with alot of balance to offer. We arent "just" about cars, we are about being a community also. It isnt easy, but we do our best.
