This is what it boils down to about call outs: Too many little dogs and rice kids completely flooded the forum with total bullshit. When was the last time you saw legit 10 and 11 second cars posting in here? I personally can't remember, and look on here now and find one. Nada. Do you have to have a nasty fast car to post? No. But, with being over ran with all the BS, why would a fast guy want to be a part of this?
I suggested the call outs to start, and also for them to end. It's what drove me out of here. If you like them, and love the drama and all the keyboard E-hardass business, that's your thing. Personally, it's fun to run, and to talk about it afterwards, and calling someone out can be the same. But untill people / children respect others and give respect I personally would not want to see call outs back.

What he was referring too is that none of the interesting stuff is posted here anymore because its full of useless trash. We used to read about some really good races in ehre occasionally but then this forum caught ghey and a few users seemed to spend their entire time in here trolling and basically being a pain in the ass. This has been addressed to a point.
Were getting rid of call outs because 75% of the users issuing them were morons. If you wanna call someone out, send them a PM. Post about stuff that HAS HAPPENED ... not thats planning to happen .. and for the love of god.. LEARN SOME FUCKING PUNCTUATION ... its about telling a story.. its about entertaining people.. not 1 big run on sentence about 2 slow as balls boring as fuck cars.. speed of the cars matters little when its written right.
Maybe we need to turn on moderation of topics in here, so stuff only gets posted if its quality.. but thats alot of work.
Shalane does a good job of modderating this forum, so does Juiced and our other mods .. its annoying waste of space users that bring this place down.

Zate thanks for getting my back, but....I don't mod in here anymore! lol And you also reiterated what the point of my post was.
Ugly - I think if you re-read my post you will understand what I was saying.
Folks - Think of it like this. Call outs are like N20, gives you a helluva rush, but must be used in moderation. Over use and you blow it the fuck up.

Thank you Zate
Once the forums calms down for a good amount of time we will reconsider allowing call outs possibly in a different way. As of right now, people are still throwing fits and causing drama so that will not happen.
We have had a lot of success already and i know for a fact that more people enjoy reading this forum right now the way it is.

I think it's more on how much the race is worth for everyone else's entertainment. To be able to read the shit talking before hand, then read the results of the race is where the fun is at.
It really doesn't matter how fast the cars are to a certain extent... I really don't want to read about a couple 15 second cars.
