with that being said, i am a fairly new guy but you can sign me up for whatever job you wanna give me to help make this site a contender again.


I like the way you think! Are you from ?

Well if thats the case then the Search function needs to be fixed also. I've tried searching for many things making sure not to double post and all but the search function looks for every word in every thread on the entire site. Maybe the should be a "set" way to title a thread and have the search function search through thread titles only. There are WAY too many threads titled "hey I need help!! or quick question...or some other BS title. make the title related to your thread or don't post

I agree, but then again thats what The Dungeon was created for, it was kind of like an extra incentive for people to buy Premium Membership.

I can't make DB error promises until the site is hosted on our hardware. Why are people banned for supporting race shops?

I haven't tried a search on here yet, but you can typically search just by title, and also, just by specific forum. Is this not the case here?

cheers,

People were randomly banned for pure garbage a lot of the time, then given BS reasons such as "because we love you," or no legitimate reason at all. That's what has chased away a lot of knowledgeable members, along with server errors. One change that should happen is a review of modertors before Jonel sold the site, and determine if they should stay or be released from their responsibilities. There is at least on moderator a lot of people have issues with on this forum.

im refering to once its on your servers since the one currently being used is barely better than your average household desktop
and yes you can search by title but most people dont use the search function let alone the advanced search function

That doesn't sound great for the community.

If you would like to message me in private to discuss this further, I would be appreciative. Also, if you're in contact with people who believe they were unfairly banned, we'll definitely look into it.

I have seen several references to valuable members who potentially have been banned for no good reason. If this is the case, and if the existing site staff feel the same way, it's easy enough to over-turn a ban. Let them know to contact us.

cheers,
robb

also make sure the moderators separate their opinion on certain vendors or if theyre a fanboi of a vender dont ban someone for talking bad about them

ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS THE TRUTH

Yes you can, but most people don't find that out until later...days or months later.
