Do you get the concept of rocketry? Or is life just a bowl of last nights dinner?
Honestly, if the Free For All forum was an option, I'd check no. That way you guys could revel in your stink and leave the actual hobby talk for those with an interest in something other than bodily functions. By all means, GH, crack open that checkbook and start your own Poopy Forum somewhere. Let us know how that goes for you.
On second thought, don't let us know.

Kudos for pulling those threads. I'm all for some fun now and then like every one else, but I think most of us got beyond that level of humor around third or fourth grade.

To each his own, but it's good to 'class up' a bit, even on a rocketry forum. And yes, I agree with an earlier poster in this thread who mentioned something about a silent majority. My guess is the majority here had long grown tired of that content and just have not said anything....till now.

Alright already.
Based on the opinions of some of the more 'prominent' members of this site, I'll leave the PRANKIN' threads alone for a long while.

I agree completely...

While I think we SHOULD keep the "noise" to a minimum, for God's sake, we don't need the same sort of crybaby whiners getting threads constantly locked or deleted because they don't have the maturity to simply not click on topics they don't care to read or find personally "tedious" or "distasteful" or whatever...

All IMHO... Later! OL JR

Scott,

I'd also like to say thanks for getting rid of some recent political threads. I'm a huge fan of politics but not here.

I do not post here often or on TRF because there are so many experts that do on both.

I have only been in the hobby since 1967 and a NAR member since 1968. Nine years on the NAR Board of Trustees, NARTS Chair, NARTREK Chair, short term of Contest Board due to Air Force reassignment, National Champion, member of Team Championships, Standards and Testing, worked for North Coast, and a couple of other things. Know Scott Dixon.

So what do I know?


YORF is great, but has deteriated with really off the wall threads. I can support culling those that really go beyond the scope of this website. "Free for all" encompasses a broad spectrum of topics. But shouldn't it be self-policing? Seriously. It is a hobby site. If you want to go off-line and discuss things or PM, good for you. Let us discuss hobby matters. There are more hobby questions, new hobbiests, and technical questions over on TRF. Where are the newbies here? Not talking about those banned at TRF. How many are not really helping here or are self serving? Just all about Jerry...

If you can not add positive comments here and help the hobby why even be here? I find questions on both sites that I can answer, but usually someone has either answered the original question or made such a snide comment that it is not worth even logging on to reply one way or another.

I now return you to the next comprehensive rant.

Chas

I'm jumping on under my husbands name, because I don't think I want to join a site where they objectify women and post semi-porn (Teri Garr, all those sci fi space babes, etc.) I strongly think that any thread even hinting at any beauty contest or rating of a female is childish, has nothing to do with model rocketry (except to feed the perverse imaginations of those immature modelers on this site who think that the only real woman is a sex object.

Maybe this site would attract more female hobbyists if you men kept your libidos in check. Then you could interact with a real woman at a launch instead of just wishing.

I believe Scott should take steps to immediately continue to clean up this site and make sure only content relating to the hobby of model rocketry be posted.

Thank you for your consideration and I now return the keyboard to my husband.

Pretty sure my wife would like the hobby less if I was interacting with real females at launches.
