Memorial Forum

[BlackWind]

I see alot of fellow members and friends passing away. With such a large site and memberbase, it comes as no suprise a friend is taken from us everyday. As unfortunate as it is, it is a part of life. It is good to remember these friends, and honor them, as it is what they all deserve.
I was thinking that maybe TR could add a Memorial forum, for lost friends, family, members, or indivisuals that have had a positive impact on the community, racing scene, or fellow members.
This forum would be a place to reminisce about memories, good times, and say anything (non offensive) that may want to be said. This would be done so in a mature manner, and all members who cannot abide by this will be dealt with accordingly.
I think this wold be an awesome and deserving addition to Tampa Racing, site many of us love and use EVERYDAY.
If you are interested in this, post up why you agree.
Thanks for your time guys, be safe...

mods, please consider this...admins too...

Its doesnt seem right to see someones memorial info next to a thread talking about some kid whining about getting a ticket, its kind of asinine if you ask me.

AND WHY WAS MY POLL REMOVED FROM THE THREAD???

[Skittle]

I definitely agree.

All of the members lost recently,and the past year(s) were all avid about the site.They went to meets,and are supporters of TR.

I say yes,all the way..

[Josh.]

Yes!

[cheezy47]

why not do it, there is no reason not to!

[dk1989]

11-0 for yes! :lol: but yeah I think it's a good idea if needed, I'd help mod for ya. Seems this past year has been one of the worst yet.

[BlackWind]

can some people post a link to this in there sig? maybe get some more input???

[92z71]

bump, VOTE PEOPLE.....

[1QUIK930]

Got my vote.. Go for it

I've been trying to get this going almost a half a year ago...

I think its a great idea. I nick named it the TR Grave Yard. :(

[dk1989]

^Guess putting it in here is just another sad attempt for us =P

[BlackWind]

i had it in pit road but some dick moved it...this shit hole gets no traffic at all...how are people supposed to know about it???

[AcidiCyn_]

I definitely agree.

[RB240Mike]

20 people say yes to a memorial forum and 0 people have said no. This is the most worthy thing anyone on TR has ever suggested this needs to happen.

I miss you Pabs!

[BlackWind]

more post anyone? links in sig???

that name is FAIL

Memorial forum is a way better name then "TR grave yard"

[dk1989]

I got the link in the sig lol

[BlackWind]

yeah, angela, i dont believe humor is a needed thing in a forum honoring and commemorating people who have passed away. The idea of this forum was to remember these people in a dignified, honorable manner, not a comical or cutesy one. I believe Memorial Forum or Memory Lane or something to that effect would be just fine...

[AcidiCyn_]

+1 on Memory Lane.
TR Grave Yard is fucking stupid.

[Skittle]

+1 on Memory Lane.

I agree,I hear grave yard,and think of old post for some reason.

[BlackWind]

its cool if you put no, but it would be nice to hear the opposite side of this as well...

[dk1989]

^^ & ^+1

[Angela]

I never wanted to call it that, thats just what it reminded me of, like an online grave yard where users can "visit"

and there was no humor related to this. stop being dicks about it.

[BlackWind]

ok angela, were moving on now...

if you dont think we should have one, awesome. Its your opinion your entitled to, but share with us why...

[CoRDiTe]

This would be very nice also if it can get a little personal and tell us details on what happend too......

[C a p o]

siiiiiiiiiiii.

tsssskkk @ the douche who voted no.

[Big Chris]

Why has this not been created yet, Mods, admins anyone out there?

[BlackWind]

thats why we need more people to see this and offer some kind of input, whether it be positive or negative...

[dk1989]

^Agreed/bump lol

[BlackWind]

i guess people just like being fucking idiots. They vote no, yet they cant justify there response...wtf...

[AcidiCyn_]

Has there been an administration response to this?

[dk1989]

^Sadly not.

[AcidiCyn_]

Terrible.
They have a 'Help TR Section" and don't check it?
13 days without an administrator looking at a thread to 'help' (suggestions) TR is ridiculous.
Correct me if I am wrong, but Administrators are supposed to check their responsibilities daily ;)
I would think this 'section' of TR would be a priority.

[BlackWind]

undoubtedly running tr is probably a task bigger than we can understand, but at the same time, this subject has arisen a few times now, and ive yet to hear anything from anyone. It would help if more people would post links to this in there signatures, it takes fiive seconds to do and it would help make this forum a reality....

[sheWANTSaKAWI]

I say a big yes to this.
Memory lane. :mrgreen:


Miss and love you Kevin. And Pabs! <3

[dk1989]

^^Yeah I agree.

[dk1989]

Random Bump for a good cause.

[BlackWind]

i sent a pm to John about the thread, asking for thoughts and ideas. I will let you know how things go...

[dk1989]

cool sounds good. I think DareDevil is the one in charge of new forums.

[BlackWind]

i sent the pm a few days ago, and have gotten NO response...

[dk1989]

haha Don't expect too much back :lol:

[BlackWind]

nope, no response. What the fuck is this forum for? i may as well go in my backyard and talk to my tree...

[dk1989]

:lol: It takes alot to run TR but damn.

[maKinThtishwrk]

i think this is a great idea... if they dont make a section then shame on them

[BlackWind]

i still have not gotten a message back from them...

[dk1989]

You won't anytime soon.

[03AcuraCLTypeS]

70-8 for yes... i voted yes... also even though i dont have a whole lot of experience in being a mod i would love to help mod this section...the memories of friends and family should be cherished after their passing...i know personally my grandpa has been dead almost a year and not a day goes by that i dont think of him and there are people on here that have passed away almost a year or more ago and every now and then u will see the thread come back to the top...so why not make a section for them... i mean most the bike forums im on have a riders down section so why not a memorial section for TR. rep for the idea

[03AcuraCLTypeS]

u know what now that i see how old this is im not going to let this die...they can ban me for all i care...im reposting a new thread in pitroad let them move it ill jsut make another TR is too big a community to not remember the friends we have lost... not only should we have a memory lane out of respect but we almost NEED one...

[dk1989]

I'm liking the subsection idea.

http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/pit-road/476737-1-month-nothing-2.html

[dk1989]

Bump?

[.Seth.]

yaaaa thats my idea! :lol:

but in all seriousness I think we should have a subjection, or at least instead of the cars at the top of the page, have ALL the well known members that have passed away, up there as a tribute

[AcidiCyn_]

Why would they make a whole new forum anyways? I always saw this idea in my head as a sub-forum.

[dk1989]

Now do you mean sub-forum as in Ford Tech Forum lounge? Or as in Ford Tech? I think of a sub-forum as in the lounge.

[AcidiCyn_]

I figured it'd either be a sub-forum under pit road
or
Right under the video post (as in not a sub-forum)
my .02

[dk1989]

^+1 Thats what i was thinking.

[Big Chris]

Mods admins anyone out there?

[DD.]

I am very sorry no one has gotten back to you with a response.

As of now, we have other issues that need to be settled, and delt with before considering this.

Thank you for your interest in the site and continue to use this forum to its fullest.

Aight man well anytime you guys get to it.

Yes!

[2nd gen 13b]

this is a great idea keep it goin

[Saul]

one of the admins needs to make a forum they are slacking

[Zate]

We've considered this months ago and dont think it's a good idea for a number of reasons.

#1 - I dont think we have enough members pass away to warrant a forum for it. I would hope we dont have enough members passing away that is.

#2 - We have over 50k registered members, you guys cant get along in simple threads and I am 100% sure the threads in that forum would get trolled and people make all kinds of comments, especially if the death was a result of street racing.

#3 - If I did consider adding that forum it would be heavily policed, in fact you wouldnt be able to make a post in it without someone approving that post.


as for the comments in this thread, we check the forums, we read what your saying and just because you think its a wonderful idea doesnt mean we do. We do take these things to another forum and discuss them, back and forth between ourselves. that goes for all the ideas presented in this forum.

if you have a problem with how something in run, PM me and I'll explain why its done that way.

As for the memorial forum, it's still under consideration but probably not until we upgrade the site. Even then the Bike forum has a well organised thread, where is yours ?

[Saul]

^i didn't think about that people do like to make smart comments and none of us can get along or agree on stuff, but still

[Zate]

^i didn't think about that people do like to make smart comments and none of us can get along or agree on stuff, but still

yeah.. doesnt mean it cant work though.. just means it will be moderated (ie your comments wont show up until someone approves them) and thats a lot of work for a moderator.

My other concern is the direction it takes the site, but we are still discussing that.

[dk1989]

Yeah I like the idea of it but I agree with you Zate, it sounds like more drama than it's worth.

:lol:
Always something negative.

#1 - Not enough people passing away to make a memorial forum? So you're saying that you need X amount of people to pass away before considering such a forum? :lmao: Because that is exactly what it sounds like to me, even after your little sly comment, "I would hope we dont have enough members passing away that is."

#2 & 3 - You're right people do troll other people. Fuck, I'm a prime example. (One other name comes to the top of my head as I am sure you clearly know who it is) I've been harassed by numereous people, numerous times. My name has been slandered, bashed, and shitted on by many people on this board. For reasons? I don't even know.

The fact is, people think their shit doesn't stink. People take advantage of death's negativity and throw it in member's faces. Possibly to hide something? Because they think they're cool? Because they want attention? Because they're big shit talkers who think the internet is a joke? Who knows their exact reasoning for this. I would say it's 'here nor there', but I'd be lying to myself.

Yes, monitoring is going to be a big deal. Actually FINDING neutral and non biased moderators, hah! GL.

You only leave us to assume you don't check, read, or give two shits about an idea. A simple, 'we're checking into the issue.' ; 'we've considered and we're working out the bugs.' ; 'we have thought about it, but have other priorities.' Any type of acknowledgment that you're trying to work on the idea would of been fantastic.

You have given TR a 'HELP TR' section, not for your ideas (as admins/mods) but for the average TR user who wants to either improve TR, have TR work smoother or make suggestion(s) to existing wheels in motion.

BikeTech - Most users in bike tech know each other. By know each other, I mean FACE to FACE. They hang out, have group rides, meets, ETC. They're actually their own entity from TR. That doesn't mean ignorant people don't come into their threads and ruin them by talking shit ETC because it happens.


Mods - As for a lot of work for the Mods, isn't it their job to Moderate the site? If they think it's 'too much work' maybe you should consider evaluating them?

Possibly even creating a trusted user group that doesn't need their posts/comments approved/disapproved?

BUUUUUT Hey it's all about running 'your' site and making 'your' money.


Thanks.
My. 02 :roll:

[theskiff]

there are negative and positives all we can do is make suggestion no reason to bash the mods they do run the site. btw im not nut swinging.

[AcidiCyn_]

Yes, I understand that Skiff. However, Zate's post is almost full of negativity. Someone that's supposed to run the website, be professional, take kind to both side A and B.

A lot of half ass, bottle fed bullshit is what I see. ;)

[GsT Racer]

personally i think that after all is said and done, a memorial forum just wouldn't work out. i think a lot of members wouldnt even know it was there, and they would still post their RIP's in pit road.

I say dont have a memorial forum. just make a comment about it in pit road or something, make a sig about it, get a tattoo for the deceased, put the banner up at the top for a week, and get on with life.

[AcidiCyn_]

Yea....Memories can't live on without life coming to a complete halt. :roll:

gtfo

[GsT Racer]

er...right.

what a bitch

[AcidiCyn_]

The whole reason for the idea is for people NOT to post in pit-road.

TR has all sorts of topics to post under, yet people probably on a daily basis post their thread/topic in the wrong forum. Thus users have their threads moved to the correct forum. Does that mean we should get rid of those forums?

"I say dont have a memorial forum. just make a comment about it in pit road or something, make a sig about it, get a tattoo for the deceased, put the banner up at the top for a week, and get on with life."

Sigs, Tats and banners have been MADE/INKED.
Yet if I'm on TR and want to post a comment in a thread and it gets 'bumped' I/Family/Users get bitched at for "TTT'n" the thread or Users complain to the Admins/Mods about the thread being a 'nuisance'.

If there was a memorial forum that would eliminate users bitching about threads.

[GsT Racer]

i say we ban the next person who posts up a RIP. whether in pit road, local events, honda tech, etc.

no more RIPs.

[AcidiCyn_]

in that case, you're banned ;)

[.Seth.]

Rip

[dk1989]
