I've seen the other side and it's kind of the like Matrix, remember when agent Smith said humans rejected the idea of a utopian society because it didn't see real?

I think even those agents would have trouble with 'I can see x driver arriving and brawn coming back and we win every race in 2015' or 'Hybrid electric vehicles are not about the environment, you could easily replace hybrids with fuels made from waste and algae and bio fuels, just like that' and 'internal combustion engines are doing just fine, hybrids kill the environment because the battery is rare earth materials that can only be found on the moon'

and ofcourse 'the 2004 F1 cars dont have sparkplugs because diesel ICEs dont have spark plugs and an ICE is an ICE'

and of course 'F1 is so slow this year it can never get faster again'

And you carelessly forget the special intercooling turbo which the geniuses at Red Donkey brigade had constructed to blow em away this season. Coupled with the timing invention thingy which allows for fake timings in winter to put off the rest, so much so that Red Donkeys take the rest of the grid by surprise come Melbourne.

What? A bunch of friends want to have a conversation. Sheep dip! What is the world coming to.
Any one can join our conversation, just respect our group.


That's not the point, there shouldn't be a need for private groups. Either make it an obviously open private group system with like Cookin suggested some team based competition to ADD to the forum instead of taking away.

Also like RC pointed out there needs to be something done about the posts being tweeted.

Though I see Ryry's point, I can't agree....it further divides the forum for no reason.

This is an F1 forum, for all to debate and view everyone's viewpoints/discussion. It's why we log on in the first place. Now to divide it into private subsections? Just head over to the fansites, all teams/manufacturers have them on facebook/twitter/official sites. Forums are meant for exchange.

If some people prefer a safehouse where combustion engines are the future and hybrids are evil, the red donkeys are the best no matter what, then that's their call. The rest of us are cool in the main board where real debates and Newton's 3 Laws apply.


I decided on this route to try and meet in the middle, on a personal view I don't think there should be any private forums.

Why should there be a group for some and not others...

My suggestion was to do the middle road between Ry and Hamms. Let the prancing donkey lounge continue their mea culpas, but create groups for the other engine groups - not private lounges as the rest of us have no need for the protection from reality - groups that can be ranked with the pool picks of the average of it's members picks

So only the meaculpa lounge as it is but there the others will be tagged as group members just for the calculation of the standings after each race. Eg WB and a few others who select the Merc group will have thier results averaged vs the sanctuary groups average score of sagi and others - that way at least we can pretend their is a need for one of these pool groups to have their own bonfire of the vanities space

RyRy, I appreciate your consideration to this issue! It's too bad that in their attempt to "prove" that all are welcome to share their opinions and points of view, some members "prove" themselves to be un-welcoming of such posts.

...Tifosi can keeop their safehouse...

Pot shot taken at what you don't have...

...we have an evolved version of audience vote - which is the awarding of credibility and agreement by members chiming in, this cannot happen when some of it is hidden and not tranparent

Nor can there be open debate when bullying / harassing / ridiculing / condescending / patronizing comments are made constantly and consistently with the sole purpose of taking gratuitous pot shots...

...If some people prefer a safehouse where combustion engines are the future and hybrids are evil, the red donkeys...

Gratuitous pot shot... ridiculing... patronizing... condescending...

...

Guy you have to think that the lounge came over to us from another site so was given the lounge. In that respect it has brought in a few new members to our little community. Tbh there is very few posts in there that are not posted in the main forum in some way.
