| Note from Rob |
We have made some recent changes to control the Other Off Topic forum. Although it is our most popular forum, I would rather gain 1 good Ferrari user than 5 Off Topic users. I fully support Other Off Topic if the content remains contained and acceptable. We're not just a community about Ferrari, we're a community of Ferrari enthusiasts and we have at least one thing in common and often many more things. FerrariChat.com can be your online Ferrari source along with being a source of entertainment and information for Off Topics within certain limits.
1) Other Off Topic is now only viewable to registered users.
2) New rules in Other Off Topic include no circumventing of the word censor system, no bikini pictures except in bikini thread, and no Not Work Safe (NWS) threads even with a warning.
3) A new forum has been created in the Subscribed Only Section called Backroom Lounge (PG-13). Rules from #2 above don't apply.
I would also like to remind users that bikini avatars and circumventing the word censor system are not allowed anywhere on FerrariChat.com except the new Backroom Lounge.
To close off March I would like to post some interesting statistics about how many threads have been active in each forum the past 7 days. I'm using this data to make sure we have forums and moderators distributed properly.
