what's the deal? what happened to "DQ'ed at INDY"? this used to be a place for discussing the matters that affect us as racers.

I would say when "Rubber Duck" made his first post stating he loved porn and so does (another racers) your wife, it was getting out of hand.

I too wonder the same thing. On a vBulletin forum an admin should get in a thread and give warnings, clean it up a little if need be. If they have to lock the thread so no one else can post, but I feel that deleting a good informative thread really doesn't help anyone.

And Jeff, that thread was not getting out of hand because of the thread starter, it was out of hand because of the whiners. This is where a good admin comes in to clean it up a little.

DJ, no need to start trouble.

Sammy you will not be tossed for asking questions. The thread was removed not because of the thread itself, but the responses to the thread were getting out of line. Bo has not posted anything that I have a problem with. It seems though there were members joining just to start trouble. It was time for the thread to go.

Jeff you are correct, rubber duck was one of the reasons.

Lee, this thread has been on long enough to get all the info that is needed. We need to move on and let Bo handle his own issues with NHRA.

The admin. has the right to do what he pleases as long as we come here for free. It's called freedom.We have the freedom to go elseware for our information.

Hey Ken how's Tom D.?

Well then admin. Why cant we just lock the thread and leave it for the public to read instead of deleting it? This is how we handle matters at all of the other public forums that I frequent.
