Whoa Whoaaaa easy there with the gas pedal ...

New York "linguistics" doesn't mean Ebonics (A form of communication language created by African Americans) I certainly did not say all New Yorkers speak Ebonics. LOL@Urbandictionary.com, GTFO. I said we in New York City use Vulgarity (Profanity) when we communicate with each other.

Gene, Are you saying all New Yorkers speak/write in Ebonics? Are you calling us Ghetto because we are from New York and gave us a definition of a word that is from UrbanDictionary (lol)? What Irony? [Please don't ban me, I know how you new moderators are quick with the ban button]

UrbanDictionary, LMAO. How racist is that!? I am not a descendant of the African American population by the way. If that is what you were implying.

urban dictionary does not imply ebonics nor cater to a specific econimic demographic, rather the current terms and phrases used that are not categorized in "traditional" dictionaries/english books. Interesting how you assumed otherwise though, along with your statements thereafter. So if I we follow your reasoning, since I referenced and/or use urbandicitonary.com, I am ghetto, speak ebonics, and am African American, correct?

and the quick to ban comment and I'm a new moderator: The only member that have been banned for inappropriate behavior is Diamond since I've become a moderator. Aside from that it's the usual spammer's. As far as cleaning up threads or posting requests to stay on topic, yes I've done that , as the maturity level as of late (lack there of) has warranted such actions to prevent further bashing and flame wars.

I may be a "new moderator" but I'm not a new member here...so if you want to keep going at it with me, shoot me a pm, seems you have a personal beef with me. Feel free to pm the super mods and admins as well if so, would love to hear your comments and suggestions aside from accusations and/or complaints....

I think the forums would be a lot better if there were more members contributing with either DIY info, sharing photos, or adding relevant information and interaction... instead of complaining about what happened to it.

Picking fights with other members, or moderators, really does no one good, and actually adds to the degradation of the forums. I hope my post doesn't end up being a critique of semantics with every type of online dictionary, or explained through regional forms of expression.

Ultimately, each individual really makes or breaks their own experience here on this forum. If you don't like the lack of useful threads, make a difference and post something useful or interesting. Other members will recognize and appreciate that, and may even follow suit. Most members of this forum are adults, and act accordingly, so we all have the ability to make this forum as good if not better than before in a mature and meaningful way. If we all have the time to reply to this thread, we also have the time to make it better.

If you can't do that, anyone is welcome to leave and participate in another forum. We don't need an announcement if you are not coming back.

Let's please move on.

I cant believe your getting into a back and forth here with a mod. New or not, hes not new to the board and he wouldnt be a moderator here if the super mods didnt want him. Youve got some pair of balls honestly, and your kinda creating a real negative aura around yourself. Why dont you just shut up already and stop your silly bantor. Its plain old rude and quite disrespectful.. this forum has never been conducted in the matter your quite taking it to with a mod. Have a little respect , okay

Agreed Melvin, before criticizing the forum or the mods ask yourself: What have YOU contributed to the forum lately?
If this it, then that's not very good now is it?



Melimel, as always, a way with words

Well I may have one less reason to check the forum soon enough, as I can't seem to find relevant content for this area (Toronto, ON, Canada).

This city is "littered" with Bimmers, every second car I see out here is a BMW, yet I find it discouraging that it seems that there's not even a handfull of people wanting to get together for a day drive. Why are people so fearful of social interaction nowadays?

The Meet/Greet section is virtually completely California... alright, alright, I'll try the Meet/Greet section... there, posted. Hopefully there's a few out ot the thousands who can tolerate the idea of spending a few hours with other BMW owners? I see from the postings that meets did occur in the not-so-distant past, although it's sad that it seemed to be a lot of effort to get people together.

Hope things turn around with the forum, good luck with it guys.
