Does Geoff have to close the OC Forum for good? He started the boards without it and did fine and will do fine without it now. The God's honest truth? For all that I post there, I think it's a good idea. It's getting ridiculous now. Five or six years ago, before the OC section took off, we rarely had a nasty argument here. You, Mig, Beth, Geoff, Turnbull, Cardi, Myself, and a dozen other quality posters who won't even sign on anymore could talk about anything civilly. Another truth: This board gets mocked for its OC section, and I always say the same thing: It's not their fault. That site was built to be a movie/general discussion site, and the "Real Life" section accidentally morphed and took over the board. It's nothing but trouble and impossible to moderate. Get rid of it and you'll lose a dozen quality posters. But you'll also rid yourself of a hundred stupid troublemakers and trolls who have ten usernames each. And this is coming from a guy who's been here nine years and posts in that section every day. If these trolls and troublemakers don't quit it, shut the fucking thing down. My two cents. 99.9 % True" but they don't have to do it that way .(this is what they want) There are many ways to weed out idiots . It does not have to be at the decent posters expense .

It does not have to be at the decent posters expense . I agree. It's not fair for a few "rotten apples" to ruin it for everyone. But if this shit doesn't stop, that's exactly what they're going to do: Shut this section down. I'm here a long time. I'm a cranky, repetitive pain in the ass at times. But my advice is ALWAYS with the best of intentions. And my advice here is for the assholes here to cut the shit, or we're going to lose this section. Believe it.

Why don't we just cut off the OC board for new members? Might be a compromise? Not our call. SC and Geoff know what they're doing. Good idea, though  .

Only response I will make, ONE, NO ONES TROLLING YOU, TWO, i TOLD THAT DUDE I WAS FROM CHICAGO AND DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE OUTFIT AS A FAMILY, BUT KNOW ONE CONNECTED DUDE INTO A LOTTA SHIT,MORE THAN JUST GAMBLING, HE TOOK IT PERSONALLY, OKAY WHATEVER. I LOOK MOSTLY AT LCN AND NARCOTICS, CAUSE IT SEEMS THE MOST MURKEY TO ME. i DONT KNOW THE BRONX, OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN NY SO DONT EXPECT TO BUTT HEADS WITH ME ON ANY TOPIC HERE.THAT TROLL SHIT SOUND LIKE SOME NEW KIND OF FAG, SO PLEASE DONT MISTAKE ME FOR ONE OF THOSE LOL, I JUST LIKE TO DEBATE, RANT OVER, HAVE A GOOD ONE... A little friendly advice you can choose to take or not: ease up on the all caps. It's considered yelling and makes you seem a bit unhinged. It's also hard to read and that doesn't help get whatever point you're trying make across.
All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?

Why don't we just cut off the OC board for new members? Might be a compromise? Maybe like an well established member referral before admission? Back in the day if a "Member" introduced you to another "Member" you were referred to as either "My Friend" or a "Friend of Ours". No one ever talked "business" with a stranger

It does not have to be at the decent posters expense . i would also propose a closed section (now).. You only need to look at the first page and you literally throw up when you read the thread titles.. Just require 100-200 posts for access in the OC section -should be working! Just my honest opinion..
