    Sounds like you like it BECAUSE of the right-wing rhetoric, not "in spite of" it.

    I'm threatening your right to be a "free individual?" Come on!

    Sure, express your opinions all you want. Just don't abuse the people who disagree with you. Most of what I see on the P&R board is about what "Nazis," "Socialists," "Communists," etc. Democrats are. That's not intelligent discourse; it's useless name-calling.

    In any case, politics should be on a politics board.

    We don't have a thread about Saabs because this is a Ferrari board. We don't have a Brittney Spears board. We don't have a Heavy Metal thread. We don't have a Star Trek thread. Not because we're censoring people who like those things but because we're about Ferraris.

    That's completely irrational. Saying that a Ferrari board should be about Ferraris has nothing to do with "group internment."

    Let Ferrariads expire. After I purchased my car it was still listed for sale for quite a long time. Maybe allow the ads to run for a month and then the person who placed the ad will have to take an action to continue it.

    I need to look into that, but I think the ads run 1 or 3 months now. After you sell an item you can mark it as sold.

    Rob,

    THANX for starting the DITY SUB-Forum in the 3x8/Mondi Section. GREAT STUFF!!!!

    You still have my continued Vote in the next elections for "SUPER MOD." :D :)


    Tillman,

    Thanx for taking "Ownership."

    I looked for the thread about re-blading "ENZO keys" to fit other models. Could not find it. If you can would you please include it?


    On behalf of all us DITY-ers, THANX Guys. THANX ALOT.

    V/r,

    Mark



    P.S. I hope guys in the other model forums start picking up and contributing. This is gunna really add some PUNCH to F-Chat.

    When I visit fchat with my mobile phone I get, after the page has finally loaded, "DST settings changed", and then all the loading starts again. If I visit after that with my PC the DST settings are changed (back?) again. Off course my phone and PC have the same time give or take 1 or 2 minutes.

    you might try turning your DST settings on or off under User CP - Edit Options. one setting may work better.

    Probably 3 months, and many folks don't delete. I like the idea of one month then out.

    PS, there is a silver 550 for sale for 62K for which no one can contact the owner. Looks like a fake and it's been there a while.

    Makes it real hard to fantasize if the dreamy cars with the dreamy prices are fake. :)

    IIRC, we had that, but, it was redundant, as "somebody's name" covers all the bases.

    Make a specific 430 section so that it doesn't tie in with 360 posts and vice versa.

    I wonder if we've grown enough to have a forum for each model?

    Rob, have you thought about creating a mobile app that can upload photos and video from an iPhone or other smart device?

    Gonna needlessly clutter the forums, don't ya think?

    Do we need a 308, 328, 348, Mondial, etc etc. breakdown? you could end up with 50 sub forums.

    I don't think we need that.

    +796543337 lol, but really.

    I don't know if this has been covered, but a forum jump at the bottom of the thread would be a very handy tool for navigating threads, especially from an iPhone or other mobile device without a keyboard. Or even a link taking you back to an updated sub-forum list. Hope this helps!!! Thanks for caring about the wellness of the site!!!!

    I would suggest a thread of the month vote. It would bring users to threads they normally don't look at. F-chat is getting so large & so many great threads are getting unread. It would be IMO a great way to showcase the richness of the community. How these threads get nominated would have to be worked out. I would assume the mods would do the initial nominations then members could throw in their nominations. Then there could be a Thread of the Month section in which you could archive the threads & final contenders for new users & current users to appreciate. If it becomes really popular you could have a F-chat Oscar's Night for the Thread of the Year. Members & Sponsors could throw in some prizes.

    that's not a bad idea.

    Rob already does threads of the month on the newsletter, so maybe an extension of that?
