Default Closing the Lounge

I'm not gonna sit here and bitch about it. I'm just gonna say thanks to the other lounge lizards. It was very entertaining, to say the least.

When I fist discovered the lounge I was shocked at the vitriole, the dumb-assed remarks, the lack of civility. After awhile it becomes apparent that the place is just plain misunderstood.

I think what has happened is that outsiders come in and get the same impression. They don't have a clue that most of it is in jest. So instead of just minding their own business they force their values on us - take away our fun. Some people just don't like a good arguement, I guess. For crying out loud, how can anyone spend all of their Zilla time on sprockets, Gixxer's and Biagi?

This moves me one small step closer to selling the RC.

Was that "bitching about it"?

And to think that the twit, nero, got the last post. Geez.

Ah well. All good things come to an end.
Thank's anyway, Dave.
It was good while it lasted.

I met some great people and had my eyes opened a lot. It's actually hard to find a forum that isn't either completely one-sided or is just a complete slanging match with no useful information. Anyone who knows of one, feel free to PM me.

Well, bye Bigdogma. So long and thanks for all the fish.

I'd just like to thank all the forum liberals for fvcking up another good thing.























I KID!

I guess we all had our hands in the demise of the Lounge, some more than others but oh well. This is Dave's house and we gotta play by his rules.


Merry CHRISTmas to ALL and Happy Holidays for the rest of you.

Bravo, the lounge has been shut before by the way.

I grew very tired of clicking on new posts and seeing more than half of the threads as cut&paste hate festivals.

Great, maybe now I can get some work done.

I hope they keep the threads, even read-only. When I need a laugh I will have to go back a read a few of them.

As a parting shot, my world views in 40 words or less:
-Punish criminals
-Protect the innocent
-Bush is neither as good or as bad as the extremes want to believe.
-Never bet against the US economy long-term.
-Green (ecological) will only happen when green (money) happens from it.

Over and out.

Really ? I have been around nearly from the beginning and I don't recall that.

I do thank Dave for his great patience in putting up with ALL of us. I don't visit any other bike forums since this one is the best !

Default One door closes and...

Take it over to the re-born WERA Dungeoun...

The Dungeon - 13x Forums

But, be forewarned, there are some sharp liberals there, and the 4000 word cutnpaste crap isn't going to fly either. You see, the WERA board is moderated, which tends to make things more gooder.
Anyway, this is too good to waste-

Two things:
1- The wera dungeon will ALWAYS blow monkey balls cuz the most vocal moderator there is a liberal (at heart if not openly) and will ban you in a heart beat of you piss him off.
Hence why Ive always enjoyed bs'ing about politics or any other hot topic for that matter on Zilla.

2- Thnx for sharing that Bush compilation, it IS funny!!!!!


That's the one thing that kinda always drew me to him, he seems like any other guy you'd have over for good football game or a UFC fight night.

Thank GOD that forum has been shut down. Nothing but a great big pile of stinking poop.

The irony is that everyone wanted a forum to discuss their 'supposed adult' political views, but nobody can actually hold a real discussion without bashing and name calling.

Haha!!!
With exception of Jeff, have any of the other loony libs even posted in other sections of the forum?

Hey dude, have you seen that email video of 'life at an Allentown Mall'?

Some chic 'pops' off a cork on some bottle in a boutique store and all the patrons jump for cover and whip out their handguns. Kinda corny but amusing in a sick way considering what's been going on over there lately. I heard about another shooting in the past week.....keep your head down while shopping this season bro!

Careful now. You guys are starting to make this thread sound like the lounge. You'll fry in hell if you're not careful. (God is watching)

It's true, life seems much quieter now the lounge has had the door slammed on our noses.

Like the new sig, XFBO. I actually agree with you too !! Ha ha ! Will wonders NEVER cease !

Anyways, to any of the Lounge lizards that pass on by in here, even you, Valium, hope you all have a really good Christmas, and an enjoyable holiday season !!

All the best, cheers,
Le Kiwi

I think the lounge could work well if there were just some groundrules...

no humoungous cut & paste posts/threads
no ad hominem attacks
no resorting to personal attacks etc

oh well, merry christmas and here's to hoping the lounge someday returns.
