I remember back when this site was cool, something I looked forward to checking out everyday. Now it's just a bunch of whining, pompous ass fucktards who can't wait to jump in someone else's shit. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Between the jumping in Chia's shit every ten seconds to flaming the hell out of every newbie to the lame ass spell check police you guys have left a sour taste in mouth. Have fun with it girls, I'm oot. <---purposely spelled wrong there Graham.

Joke post edited to be more sensitive to the feelings of another member.

Sorry again RR.

Hurry up Graham, a few more and we can move this to the ALR.

^^^Proves my point exactly. Fuck you Xavier, I never did shit to you.

I'm not ready to leave, but that doesn't mean I don't agree in part with RabidRaider.

Whats so wrong with trying to help people? seems that its not nearly as much fun as pointing and laughing.

Yes, I'm guilty of it too at times, but the only time I try and argue is when it is already an argument...

Now that we have all this main stream exposure and people are coming here based on Nissan's suggestion, It might be time to roll things back a bit... to a time when the Xterra community was one that existed to help each other not to bash people who don't do things the way you think they should be done...
Oh, shit... never mind, there never was an Xterra community like that.

Regardless... it might be time to try and mellow it out a bit. Myself included.

a lot of good people have left over the years because of all the nit-picky shit. It is a shame.

And while I have generally liked you Xavier... Shut the fuck up. I can understand hanging out on XOC because you have friends here, but lets face it... regardless of what that tag under your S/N says, you don't own an Xterra, your not a member. So, you slamming people who actually own an Xterra because they want the XTERRA OWNERS club to be a better place... thats just fucked up and wrong.

Jesus people, I was just kidding.

I'm sorry Rabid, I didn't know you had such strong feelings -- I have no beef with you at all...

Jason, climb down off your high-horse, you don't belong there.

RR, your right. I'm guilty of it too, but for the most part the site has turned to shit.

OK, I don't give a damn if anyone else is with me, but I'm gonna try and change XOC, just a little bit...

1. I won't start any off-topic threads

2. I will not pick any fights

3. I will not insult anyone... Even those I feel deserve it.

3b. that includes my favorite phrases: "Pay attention" "reading Comprehension" "ignorant bastard" "Play hide and go fuck yourself" "ditto-head" "Bible-Thumper"

4. I will try and help people with my insight and experience at least as often as I post in off-topic threads

I'm gonna try this for a week.
Lets see if it makes a difference

what high horse?

If I am wrong why did you edit your post?

I just called it as I see it.

I don't have a problem with non-x owners or former x-owners posting to XOC, but to bash someone that is an owner, is a long time member in good standing... thats just wrong.

I didn't say you were wrong and I edited my post and apologized because it was the right thing to do. I thought the man was joking around with the likes of Graham and Brent and trying to get a thread moved the ALR, I was wrong.

I told you to step down because you are the last person I need a lecture from on how to get along with others on the Internet.

I am not pissed at you or anything, I know my status here.

no, I know i'm not perfect... I have certainly been in my fair share of nasty flame wars... thats kind of my point... that shit is wrong and needs to end.

Maybe the difference is that i knew RR was not joking and didn't know you were... in that context I think you can understand my response.

I'm confused. What's changed? Graham has been correcting people's spelling and Grahamer (I know ) as long as I've been here. It's an endearing quality that he has and for the most part it's done tongue-in-cheek. People like to over react. It's not melicious and if people don't like it they can just ignore it.

This really has evolved into a kindler gentler XOC. A guy comes in with a nice stereo or a nice set of "they're not for me but they look good" wheels and more often than not, appropriate non-threatening and complimentary comments are made. It's not a touchy feely fest and when someone wants kudos for a gaudy over the top mod, people are going to express their opinions. A tip: if you aren't willing to accept critisicm for your ride, don't post pictures of it over the internet.

The ALR and the Clubhouse have always been conduits for controversy and non-x related discussion. As long as those areas don't seem to overflow into the topical catagories people can choose to ignore those areas as well and have nothing but Xterra talk.

People are still going on Xcoursions and posting pictures and other people are commenting on them. Clubs are still getting together and hitting the trails, having dinner, or doing group mods. People are still looking for information on stereo installs, CB, lockers, tires, lifts and front bumpers.

I fail to see how any off-topic discussion or anal retentive spell-checking has made any impact on these things whatsoever. Geesus, if people choose to ignore simple internet etiquette and continue to ask question afgter question about what size tire fits, which brush guard everyone loves and what's the best lift, they SHOULD be directed to the correct resourse as opposed to the same exact question being answered by the same exact people each and every single time.

That is what the search is for. Often times, a topic asked is on the same page of the same forum as the posters. Because often times the same people are quick to jump on the posters who fail to use the helpfull search feature and they communicate their displeasure in a completely anti-social way, the message gets lost in the rudeness.

But ultimately nothing has changed. Why is it that every month or so someone starts thinking that everything is so horrible and everything needs to be changed just so things can all revert back to how they have allways been? And how it has been has been pretty damn oh kay!

Like i said in my post, I'm not sure it's "changed" but that doesn't make it right

lol "Buick Roadmaster" lol

Stop it, I'm blushing . . . and getting a little turned on . . .

Patrick, I'm sending you a PM. I'm rewriting your entire post for you . . . it's bloody atrocious!

I also sent RR a PM, on the QT. Hope he reads it PDQ.

Guys, my whole point is that it seems like every thread I open is chock full of wise ass remarks, flames and some down right offensive behavior. Now I know this may shock you coming from a "criminal, uneducated and drunk" Raider fan but it wears thin on my patience. We used to be a pretty tight knit community here, if someone messed something up we all had the manners to correct them properly instead of ripping them a new ass. I'm sorry but that was one of the qualities that I found endearing to this site. Lately it seems as though nobody has any patience for their fellow man much less fellow X owner. It's really nobody in particular but the community as a whole. This used to be a sanctuary for me, where I could come in off the road, away from all the crazies and find an iota of sanity. Those days are gone and I miss them. Without sounding too mushy just have a little respect for the others here. If you want to talk smack, go to a smack board, there are plenty of them.

I'm calling bullshit, link please.

I rarely if ever jump in anyones shit.

I try not to even bother looking at threads with flames... I've never really been a big fan or reader of the ALR, so I guess it never has really bothered me.

Let me tell you something dude, I've been a mod here since you joined and I would have not said anything like that to you. Sorry you feel that way but you are WRONG.

Stop it, I'm blushing . . . and getting a little turned on . . .



much?

If I did say that to you then you are correct that I am a hypocrite and I owe you an apology.

I'm sorry man but I truly don't remember that and I seriously doubt it was worded in the manner that you posted

It's all Graham's fault.

Ban Graham !!!!!

I concur with CCX. I remember that thread and I remember CCX deleting it, cause it was begining to get ugly. It is good to see the two of you resolve it though.

I want a cleaner, more respectable, user friendly XOC. Raider is correct in all his statements. I sure do like to take part in the political and religious debates, but some of you fool around with everyone over their choice of oil, their mods, their questions, etc...
What is so hard about being fun-loving helpful people? Take your nudie pics and move them to a different board. If you can't form a sentence, thought, or paragraph without cussing, go back to school. I am sure any outsider looks at this board and thinks we all are in our early teens.
It's time we read up our room. I also think that if you no longer own an Xterra, then adios muchacho. Y'all can go start your own PXOC, Previous Xterra Owners Club. :p

Shut up & go trade Ricky Williams for Ron Dayne or something.

Edit to add finger smiley, I forgot this was the ALR.
