Don't you think the majority of yarisworld members are responsible enough to raise appropriate discussions in the off-topic section of our forum? There are hundreds of fun and appropriate threads that so many of us have enjoyed joining.

I don't think there's any point in closing down the entire section just because of a few idiots. All we need are pro-active members and moderators to help filter out a few innappropriate threads.

No sense in cutting off an arm simply because of a hangnail!

ok, you asked for it, look I like you personally, what little I know of you from your posts on the site, you are an intelligent individual and I respect that

what is appropriate is where I may disagree with you, basic forum rules are stated and just because someone posts about something you don't condone doesn't merit removal in my opinion

-when I said shut it down I was being sarcastic-

this is a car forum and that is why most of us are but obviously we occasionally "shoot the shit" about other stuff, we are not clones and we are not droids

I think that many threads should remain open while others such as the thread about driving under the influence was rightfully locked

that being said I am not a mod and it isn't up to me what stays and what goes
