Love ya, Hammer! Good vibes up. Most people here do suck because they're a bunch of pussified babies who's feelings are so sensitive and they feel like we're supposed to care. Eff em!

Why announce to the world and make a whole new thread thats just about yourself leaving lol? Just leave if thats what u want to do. Thats some main character syndrome type stuff if Ive ever seen it. If you want to complain about quality of the site make a thread about that, but to make a whole thread just to announce to everyone that youre leaving is craziness.

Here’s why: you’re telling the people on the site that actually mean something to you that you have had enough of the BS and are moving on. At the same time, you’re sending a message to the site owners and mods that shit’s funky. And finally, you’re sending a shot at the buttholes who are pulling the place down. All with one post. More efficient than sending multiple emails, right? 

And if you don’t like these kind of posts, don’t open them.

I’ll respectfully disagree. The downvote gives a feedback loop that doesn’t require full engagement, and it’s not like someone punched your mom. It’s just virtual “nope, don’t agree” sign.

I’d prefer it wasn’t anonymous though.

That has been my thought on it. If we are going to have a downvote option it doesn’t need to be anonymous. Either get rid of it completely or don’t make it anonymous. The anonymous downvotes gives power to the cowards.

But won't that just create more animosity? "Why did you downvote me you jerk?" Then proceeds on a vengeance crusade downvoting and shit-talking that user for a few weeks. What good does the negativity bring? I can't think of a single thing.

If the purpose is to say goodbye to his friends then either:
Friendship ended 
Or they have another way to keep in touch.

If the Friendship ends, it must not be that important so the announcement isn't unecessary
If they have another way to keep in touch, then the announcement isn't necessary.

Announcing you are leaving is the biggest self flex there is and about as useful as barb wire under wear. You don't like something...just go. It seems like there are A LOT of Deegan haters and the way they act is one of this sites downfalls. Nothing you can do about it, but...it's pretty fkd up at times.It's also comical at times. Overall, I enjoy this site. Hey, it can always get worse...or better.

Okay, you’re being serious.

Maybe I am making the assumption that if one becomes “friends” with someone they met on an online messaging forum, it is highly likely they exchanged personal information and communicate offline at least occasionally. However, one can still maintain “friendly” respectful relations with others on forums without needing or even wanting to contact each other offline. I like to think we can all agree on that point.

Those connections are the ones I refer to. I see no need in defining this any further.

i don't think this place is that bad honestly. yes, there's two or three agents provocateur, but its far more mature that most of reddit. and it's less boring than facebook groups. i know i've probably earned some enemies myself, but if you haven't in good faith earned a few, you probably have nothing to say of substance. 

 

@BuddyCantCatchGO4T had an excellent post above about nuance, and that is totally true. you can have a post with 5 things and if someone agrees with 4 and disagrees with 1, you're still getting downvoted. that is, it seems like people look for reasons to find animus rather than reasons to find common ground, but i think that's just the general direction of society as the culture war progresses, people atomize, and social media continues to further condition the emotional reaction at the expense of the rational response. 

anyway, it's been sad to see fb groups and subreddits displace all the forums i grew up with as everyone self segregates to find the comfiest echo chamber possible. but hey, if an anodyne facebook group is more your speed, more power to you. 


words hurt, censor that man daddy.

This used to be a great place to come and bench race. On occasion we’d do good things together, even tho we’d never met in person. I’ve met a lot of true Vitards in person at the races over the years, and had some fantastic experiences. 

But now it’s turned into a total shit show full of idiots and morans. I’ve lost count of the blocks I’ve put on people. Every thread turns into a minefield of stupidity. 

Thanks to so many for your support of Mayson in Sacramento and for the hookups for people you don’t even know. It was fun for a long time and now it isn’t. 

Hammer 663s. Out.
