Bad Company PLEASE READ
 
Bad Company, I was wondering, wouldnt it be good if you started a new section under XMODS>Teams and Races? It would give users a place to meet and talk about any upcoming events. It would give members a place to meet with others from the same area and discuss local races and events, it would give them the chance to set up local or maybe even international teams. Please give this some thought and get back to me on this. I would really like to meet others from Miami and the Miami area and set up some races.

Thank you,

Alan "miniDrifter"

please don't bump your own post, BC will eventually see this thread. the reason he's not around much these couple of days is cuz of the holidays. he can't be here 24/7 answering all your questions so please give him some time for a reply

miniDRIFTER 11-29-2003 01:37 AM

lmao, sorry, i thought he was always on the forums. my bad dude, will do. what do you think about this topic?

wasuri 11-29-2003 02:00 AM

i think its a good idea but i bet someone will say "NOwe dont need it...we already have a thread for that" but i really hope he does make one.

LOL! Not a thread but a whole section devoted to that. You know when you come in the forums, it says XMODS XMOD, XMODS GALLERY, etc.. well we should have XMODS TEAMS AND RACES. Just an idea.


LOL I NEVER GET TIRED OF THAT ANIMATION..

aperson 11-29-2003 02:39 PM

the races have started? is there a schedule?

miniDRIFTER 11-29-2003 02:47 PM

HHAHA lol no, not to my knowledge. I am trying to start this new section so that board members can schedule races and gather with other XMOD racers. They can also meet with members from their area and set up some sort of races in their hometown. They can also talk to RadioShack managers to see if they can set up some sort of weekly races, or maybe even a tournament. I hope Bad Company gives this a thought. I'm glad to see other people are interested in this topic.

aperson 11-29-2003 03:10 PM

ok thats what i was thinking. cause the boards havent been flooded with threads about it yet.

Chrisman222 11-29-2003 04:17 PM

ya
 
that would b good, i have been trying 2 find ppl from MA 2 race against and that would b helpful. I hope BC creates a Team and Racing section

viperkilla 11-29-2003 04:20 PM

Same here, by the way have you guys heard from Bad Company yet? It seems like he's been gone. Meh TypeZer0 is probably right, I think that he is traveling or something because of the holidays.

kasper01001 11-30-2003 05:41 PM

I think we should have one

miniDRIFTER 11-30-2003 08:30 PM

Yea, I havent heard from BC in a while. I kinda miss him :D lol.. wheres BC!!? I wanna meet some people from Miami!

airline2 12-01-2003 05:33 AM

i agree that we should have one.

SR20DETT 12-01-2003 06:02 PM

Agreed!! Tucson Az. would like a piece of this racing action.PEACE

RSXRacer001 12-01-2003 07:10 PM

i think it would be nice to have one too.

aggroskater03 12-02-2003 08:44 AM

good idea i would like this to happen so i could find racers in my area

miniDRIFTER 12-04-2003 05:35 PM

*bump*

Ok, BC is back, maybe he'll see this post.. ::crossing fingers::

Pinoy274 12-05-2003 02:40 PM

good idea dood
 
really good

miniDRIFTER 12-07-2003 02:37 AM

BC, u gonna get back to me on this or what?

Bad Company 12-07-2003 01:16 PM

I have brought this up and it was determined that there is already an events section in the main forum, that is where any post should be made concerning races, events, etc.

The events section in the main forum prevents the congestion of having an events section in each sub forum. There just enough threads in each section to justify an entire forum in itself.

wasuri 12-07-2003 01:30 PM

lol....did I call that one or what? Sucks we couldn't get one. Sorry guys, and thanks BC for your time.

p.s. there are always exceptions :P

TypeZer0 12-07-2003 02:38 PM

BC you're back!! welcome back!!

miniDRIFTER 12-07-2003 11:41 PM

poop! :mad: you didnt call it!! YOU JINXED IT!! damn, if you cant make sub categories n stuff just make one for each region.. like East side and West side of the USA.. please it will bring people there to discuss one subject, instead of having to search though old posts because no one replied to it. PLEASE! everyone wants one. ;)

Deep Blue 12-08-2003 03:29 PM

mini,

If the "teams etc" forum turned into a pile of toxic waste on xmrc, why would it be any different here? Lets not make this into 2 messageboards down the crapper.

aero528 12-08-2003 05:45 PM

hey guys just post in the events section. thats what i did.

miniDRIFTER 12-08-2003 08:02 PM

dB, as a matter of fact, I found the people I have so far around my city by posting in the MSG board.. so IDK what you're talking about, but its just stupid what you're saying. That forum helped me find more people in my city, and since this site is bigger, it would make more of a difference. :rolleyes:

Deep Blue 12-08-2003 08:24 PM

mini, 36871536171561436815436534650316513654054 different posts about some 11 year old starting a "Wikidd h0T ><m0I) " racing club is not what I would consider helpful. Crap like that divides information. Not to menton the amount of ignorameouses that are barely literate and insist on posting challenges like "my kar klub will beet ur gei xmodz klub". If you enjoy stuff like that and actually find it useful, then knock your self out.

Pinoy274 12-08-2003 11:02 PM

well...
 
couldn't such a thing be avoided by posting a sticky of the rules for that particular category? of course, the area would be moderated, so...


anyway, if such a thing were to get off the ground, i'd like to make the suggestion that each person posting information about their club include a personalized version of a generic search phrase, so that users could more easily locate clubs in the area... something like:

#city, state car club# (with both pound signs included)

at the very top of the post, so for example, for my club in Miami, i'd open with:

#miami, florida car club# (note that i didn't substitute the "car club")

this way you could do a search for car clubs in miami by searching for the exact phrase: "#miami, florida car club#"

the only other thing is, some cities, like miami, are huge. it doesn't help the system having areas like kendall and cutler ridge that could differentiate communities within the same city, so i say limit the search phrase to include only the entire city's name...

HOWEVER... if BC disagrees with the necessity of this new forum, then, might i suggest this system be instituted within the general forum?

oh and hey here's an idea that came just now... if anyone wants to announce races, they can use #city, state race# in a search phrase...

and mini, ol' crewmate, don't take this the wrong way... i'm behind you, but if the mod says no, this is another path...

Yea, I totally understand. BC, I'm just saying it would be nice if we could get East side and West side, if you feel there is no need for this section, then so be it.

I totally understand about that "Wikkid )(mo])" thing.. lol that made me laugh, posts like that just get me more angry. With a moderator monitoring such useless posts (such as BC), this wouldn't happen.

BC, its all up to you. If you don't like this idea, then its ok with me and hopefully with everyone else. ;)

FrozenKamikaze 12-09-2003 11:37 PM

I like candy........oops wrong forum:p

Bad Company 12-10-2003 11:16 PM

Speaking of candy....

It's like this, if you give one group of kids candy, then all of the other groups want some too. There isn't enough posting in each different forum to create an events section in each one, that is why Tiny has one events forum to cover all models.

EMX 12-11-2003 08:01 AM

I Have a question for you Bad Company since I cant PM you,


why cant we PM people???


im on tons of forums, and this is the only one that I cant PM on? why?


I want to ask certian members questions with out making a whole thread about it.


no PM's just justifies post whoreing.

this is just all my opinons based on what ive seen being a moderator on other boards.

Bad Company 12-11-2003 05:27 PM

I really don't have an answer for that, it was like that long before I got here. My guess is to save bandwidth, but I can't say for sure.

RSXRacer001 12-11-2003 05:44 PM

i have a question too bad company.
how does one become a moderator?

By not asking a moderator how to become a moderator.

Just kidding.....kinda......

When Tiny feels it's necessary to add one, he and the other moderators will consider the members and offer it to a good candidate.
