The Cal-look Lounge

What is Happening to the Lounge?? It seems like lately there has been tons more unrelated Post's and Threads that Have Nothing to Do With VW's In General or CAL LOOK'S  Let's Keep The Cal Look Forum True to The Cal Look (VW History,Performance,In Da Werks, For Sale and Wanted) Who Cares who passed the Sauage? to who Gay Crap,Cartoons and Rainbows..  We are getting more and more new Old Timers coming in to the Lounge with all the Non Related VW stuff posted do you think they will want to come back??   sometimes the posts remind me of a Teenage Chat Room.. just my 2 cents  cuz I spent the Rest ;D

This is the Lounge, where all us cal look guys and gals talk about all kinds of things. Cal look, what was, whats gonna be, and what we've done. We're all (for the most part) vw people and some of the newer people (old cal lookers) obviously have something to say about the past and it might not directly relate to a car but generally relates to us.

it just needs more moderating now there are more people on here and to take more care when posting to make sure it's in the right section :)

glenn's right,and maybe thing's could be getting out of hand but If we are relivin some old vw stuff,how about relivin a little teenage screwing around. where'nt we kid's at a time. If I affended anybody I'm sorry,I was told about this sight a couple weeks ago and i'm haveing fun on it. In some cases family reunion. Like I said before,This not the first time I've said sorry
'

Just report the bullshit to the moderators!
It`s not easy to follow all the treads, they need all the help they can get ;)

Keep the lounge clean!

Thats fine,but unrelated chat is what off topic is for

cheers richie,uk

Ok lets keep this friendly guys BUT I do have to agree with a few of the other guys - when I click the "Show new replies to your posts" link the only one that EVER has any replies in the "What are you drinking?" and this is getting alittle boring - Just my 2 cent  ;) :)

Like Shubee said we have ALOT of "old timmers" on here now (sorry guys  ;) :)) and I don't think they are really interested in what a bunch of europeans are having for dinner  :D :D :D Lets hear some Cool stories from Back In The Day and Lets stop all this Non Cal Look waffle  ;) :)

maybe for the first time ever i agree with you,its like when someone posts in the wanted section and idiots reply with I have got that,look at me,me,me 'oh but i dont want to sell it"  WTF ?????

I'll have to agree with Lee.  The last weeks I feel that I've seen the lounge in 5 minutes a day, Months ago I could spending my whole evening with reading new and interesting posts, but I guess that "new topics" are hard to find after a while.  It is impossible to start everyday interesting topics after a while...  Unfortunatly...  :-[
So I guess it's normal that you get more b*llsh*t posts if a forum exists a long time...
And I admit that I made a gay-joke in another topic...   :-[   :D
But it was and still is a very good enjoyable forum!!!!   Hope to keep it this way for a long time...

Both me, Trond and JHU is trying our best to keep the nice wibe we have in here but we don`t stand a chance if you don`t help us. PLEASE REPORT ALL POSTS YOU FEEL IS BS

Thanks for bringing this up Shubee2!

I thought it was just me. lets all shake hands and get back to the plot. The lounge it a special and unique place it would be a shame if we lost the vibe the lounge created over the last 18 months.

 

Amen brother  :D  ;) :)

I Think We should all be Thankfull that BeetleBug,Trond and JHU Do a Great Job with the Lounge and I for one do not want to see it go down hill,  I would like to say Thanks for Keeping the Lounge alive and Lets All Leave the B.S. where it Belongs instead of posting it where it dose not Belong.

Again Amen brother  :D ;) :)

A lot of the posts lately seem to be going off track again?

I think it comes and goes depending on the mood of the lounge. Not much VW stuff going on right now with most places still having winter weather. Plus there is only so many times you can discuss this car or that segment of cal-look. Things will pick up as the show season really kicks off and the Classic and EBI get closer.

I blame it on people who have nothing to do, like me.  But to be fair, i normally can't be bothered to post if its off topic.

I was also wondering if we need a tech forum?

Nah, I don't think so. Too many forums and it will just spread out the few posts we have.

--louis

Gotta agree, seems to be more going on in the off topic section than in all the others. Wrong trend IMHO.

I think that this is caused by 2 things. One this is pretty much the off season so there is not as much VW activity. Second, The Lounge community is maturing... we're getting to know each other better so we're being more social and talking about other things.

Just my $0.02

My thoughts exactly.

Like 6 months ago I didn't even know how big DKK had been in 80's. Old DKK members have posted some really unbelievable cool stuff, like Lemonade's Sedan which has to be one of the coolest cars I've seen. Or Ed Graig's photos from early 70's. I would really hate all that being buried under the bullshit having nothing to do with air cooled Volkswagens.

I'd really like to have some of the cars that you guys do....not sure if that limits what I can post about and what I can't.
I'm just having a good time. If it's not cool I'll leave and come back when I have something relevant to post.

Ratto- gimme the link to the Manson family website. I'll be they have some good off topic.

How would you know it's off-topic??  ;D

So in an off topic forum, what is on topic?

--louis

Why dont you guys stop beating around the bush and just say it?!

You hate McLovin!

haha. thats funny...

we do have the tyre kicking / off topic section for a reason.. It is to get all the bullshit that people wanna talk about away from the more looker related sections....
That said, there is a difference between using and abusing the offtopic section. I'm sure everyone agrees It would be sad if the offtopic section ends up beeing the only place for active threads... I'm sure off season plays a part in it, and mcLovin as well ( :-) ) NO Offence...

We get a bi-sexual girl that's into cars and racing  and you guys run and tell the teacher !
What's up with that ?
Show some love, or are you not into girls ?
 ???

They all drive beetles so it could be that you hit the nail on the head    :-*

didn't we say to just forget about this topic and just use the off topic when is not cal-look related??

who brought it back???

I would show it, I like mcLovin.. but I'm married ;-)
hehe

The guy who started it in the first place, of course!

Don't blame this all on Shubee again. He is not the only one feeling that way.. I think off topics can be fun to, not out to step on anyones toes here... But lately there seem to alot of those kind of posts.. Again, only my personal opinion..

Now that I think about it......... This topic should be in Off Topic.......... it's not cal-look related...... ::)

just my opinion..........  ;D

Is it me or is it getting warm in here?  Somebody open the windows, please...

my beer is getting warm too  ::)

Lets not blow this out of proportions..  lets just agree to keep the off topic where it belongs...
Remember a forum is never better than the threads being discussed...  so bring us some nice threads... ;D

Yes. And if you dont like it, dont read it :)

At least it's not like the CLF!!!!

I'll see you all on the other side.

If anyone cares to stay in touch or keep me posted on something my email is listed etc....



Adios muchachos.

 :'(

Jesus F***in Christ. This is just plain retarded. Just because are cars were created because of Nazi's doesn't mean we have to act like them. You know once in a while someone might post an "off topic" comment in a different section, if it gets out of control, let us give the decision to the moderators, they are the reason this forum is here.  :)

Preach it Sling! 

Can I get an AMEN?

amen.......really stupid.

McLovin, there is absolutely no reason to leave. There plenty fun to be had, I bet its easier for you that dont have a bug to stay on topic that it is for us other idiots.
You got the questions and your illusions still intact...  ;) We just got our illusions... :)
I would stick around...   hey even one of the moderators claims to be bug-less   ;)

C mon Mc lovin dont leave us..
you re allready a senior member..
that took ages for me :)

Fast women are never a bad thing... 8)

Don't leave McLovin..
It takes all sorts to make an interesting forum. We need the old guys that invented the look and we need the girls with Hemi Cudas  ;)  It would be boring if we were all the same and agreed on everything.

Ok. I'll break my silence to ask why someone would get a fucking wild hair up their ass over posting too much in an "Off Topic" section of a forum.
Did someone forget their Midol this morning?
Jesus Christ, if I had something real to post, which I suppose I thought I did- I'd put it in the proper section.
You guys are all awesome. I'm bummed out that I don't live down there so I could actually meet up face to face.
I'm a swell person, kinda person that would give you the shirt off their back, lend you my car without question if you were in a jam.

Perhaps I'm just unclear about some things. Can you only post so much off topic in a day? I don't see much more going on elsewhere. When it does and I have input I know where to shove it.

Sorry about being kinda angry but this is the only forum I've EVER been on that isn't overrun with testosterone driven 18 year old boys who post every other week about what their POS is running on the 1/4 mile and the follow up post about how they crashed their shit. I don't like pissing matches for the obvious. Can't win.  :-*

I have a pretty good sense of humor about most things but cars are something I care a lot about. It's been my life for the past 7 years, it's been what pays my bills and keeps me employed- and I STILL go to meets every weekend even working around cars non stop. Never lost the love.

I like you guys a lot. In fact Ratto knows I have a standing offer to take Amtrak down there the next time he has a party if someone can swing by the station to get me.

No way to make a long story shorter at this point.
If you don't like it, don't look at it.
If you don't like my goofy rants or silly posts- get over it or ban me.
The moderator gods do have that power if memory serves.
I deleted what I just wrote in this place because it probably would get me banned. I have the tendency to swear like a sailor, I have a wicked temper (I think that's the English/Irish combo).
Pfffew. I'm all spent.

A.M.E.N.

Oops. Forgot to post this gem.
You're welcome.

;D ;D ;D

Glad to have you back McL.... Continue on! ;)

Just making sure everyone got the sand out of their vaginas before I post anywhere else.
Are we good?

My posts in this thread was not mean't as a personal hit on anyone, I am sorry if it might have been taken that way. I sure don't want anyone to leave.. I might have my opinions about the amount of off topic postings, but this thread kinda got outta hand... Please hang around a little while longer Sarah  :)

Well, being that my car is out of commission you're all stuck with me on fantasy island a little while longer.

Fuckin-A right!

Pleased to have you back :)

I went out skateboarding and the to Trader Joe's. They make a pretty good tuna fish sammich.

Sammish  :D

Now get to the Tunes topic and give me some more of your 45 vinyl tracks ;D

hmmm skating and johnny cash, i like the combo.
