Well I wont be posting to the forum anymore. It seems not too many people enjoy my replys, and not too many people Like me saying how much I love Corinne. Have fun and Goodbye.

Oh good god man.....suck it up. Just because you dont get all the "way to go"s and what not doesnt mean people dont like you. And so what if you're all ate up w/your girlfriend to the umpteenth degree..(I hear the sound of a whip going)....doesnt mean you're being run off the board. Get over your pitty trip, and post some Fiero stuff.

Let me ask you this, how many ppl do you think like my posts? a rare few, though that rare few is some of the smartest on here, they are minority. Dont see dat bothering me do ya? na na na...
why do people call JarJar Binx Jar Jar for? Its not pronouced like they goofnuts... Its Jah Jah..
Is this where we all rally around and hold hands and ask him to come back...???
haha
It's funny when people say goodbye on the forum , then wait for the thread to grow with people telling them to stay , how they are an asset to the forum...it doesn't usually happen ...perhaps in Lisa's case and a few others.

Just my $.02, like Galen and a few others have already said, not everybody likes everyone else's posts...I've had my run-ins with differences of opinions as well...
If you don't think people like your posts, you can 1) see why and change 2) just ignore them 3) leave, like you say you are...
At any rate, the whole "I'm leaving now..." thing doesn't usually do over well here...Sympathy is in short supply here and is guarded pretty heavilly.
At any rate...hope you stay, but if not, have fun!

Ok, I couldn't refuse. Triad - the whole 'I'm leaving now' thing does work if you're a girl. When FieroLisa said she's leaving, I think the whole forum got together and begged her to stay. The same goes for any other girl on here.
That aside, I couldn't care less about people's private relationships when I read PFF. Fierokid87 - I haven't seen anyone bashing you for saying you love Corinne. I guess if a lack of other people's enthusiasm makes you feel unwelcome, then so be it. I suppose if you said you're dating Carmen Electra you'd get a few congratulations. But then again, that would get old pretty quick too.
Most of the time (not always), if I get a reply, it's when someone doesn't like my point of view. I don't mind that.
I'm sure everyone hopes you won't leave for a sissy reason like that.

If I have the tenacity to stick around, anyone can! You are obviously very young and the mean age of this forum is quite a bit older, I'd say 35ish. When I was your age I would be infatuated with a certain girl too, and hawk my entire existence for her. As you grow older and she makes unreal demands of you, screws the neighbor (which may or may not be your best friend), is squeamish because your hair is falling out, or a multitude of other reasons in which you have no control, you realize the visions of grandeur that you once endeared are crap and you can then become normal again. No insult intended, but it's the way it generally works. I'm sure this theory works w/both genders, but maybe in a little different way. I think girls are given those powers at a young age as part of the Law of Natural Selection. It takes a good crapin' on, but you'll eventually come around. What cracks me up is when I would see guys fighting over a girl, win the girl, and have her leave for another guy! Glad I never got caught up in that. Don't get me wrong, we (old people!) still get plenty of scratch; we just don't sell out for it quite as much.
Back to the issue of being run off. About a month ago many members demanded I be run off by Cliff or that I leave by myself. Some suggested that I go away and come back with another moniker. To me, the latter would be cowardly and I will never do that. I don't want to create hardship in this forum, but if I or anyone else wanted to, it would be easy to do.
Politics---some members called me a troll! I had almost 400 posts and had been here around 2 years. That's off the top of my head because I don't count them daily as apparently some members do. There's a seniority mentality in this forum, kind of a 'pecking order.' It seems that those with more seniority feel they have license to write what they like and stand judge to those with less rank (# of posts). If a pecking order is established (not that I'd ever subscribe to it), it should be in the form of knowledge not the number of times a monkey can hit the "submit reply" button. There are a lot of guys in here with a ton of valuable information and these guys are often the ones who are least combative. The political fog in this forum is thicker than it would be in interpersonal groups that you might meet with face to face, like work groups or bowling leagues. I thought there might be a little more objectivity with an Internet group. Could be the basis for an interesting sociology study.
Threats--I received physical and non-physical threats through private email. I even had an entire page dedicated to me and my sort (whatever that is). I had a president of some Fiero organization email me and tell me that he's going to spread my emails with my name to every Fiero event he can. The thing that cracked me up was that he did so anonymously! Usually when you call someone out, you give more information than is necessary to show your sincere intent and to declare your personal vendetta.
Friends--I made many friends through private emails and I've traded with a couple guys since the incident. The fact that 99% of the supportive emails were private is a testament to my theory that this forum is politically motivated. Why were these people reluctant to go public? Simply because they didn't want to be openly chastised or blackballed. That's what I mean by thick political fog. It's a throwback to the 50's when people can't openly disclose their true feelings without fear of chastisation. I see some people still won’t answer my posts and avoids posts I’ve replied to. That as well cracks me up. Those people actually empower me without knowing it. But it’s fair to mention that I’ve had some good interaction with some good guys since the incident.
Summary--You won't make it through this life, let alone this girlfriend if you allow other people to dictate where you go and what you say (write). Stay if you want, say (write) what you want. Take care, Ed.

Well, ahhh...this is kind of a weird thread. If I were you I wouldn't leave, even if it is simply for the tech section. A lot of good help on here. Just for the record, no one "enjoys" my replies either. In fact I would guess that some consider my jokes pretty lame, but hey, I'm amusing myself. That's the main thing. If you are going to leave, does this mean you have no need for the fiero anymore? If so, hand 'er over!! Either way, good luck
Dude, Nobody really enjoys the crap I post either but that doesn't stop me from hanging out here. I'm kinda like the in-laws that have overstayed their welcome to your house. I'm making myself at home here until somebody tells me to "get the hell out". Heck, I might not even get the hint then!

I think the rather large influx of new members in the past 6 months has really contributed to the wealth of the forum. Umfortulately, it also means we're not all as close-knit as we used to be (1FST2M6, you were one of the first friends I made here, remember? And Haze, I remember when you first got your wheels!). Point is, there's just too many people here for anyone to care anymore. It's sad, but face it, guys, every one of us becomes more faceless the more people join (plus I'm not sure Cliff enjoys the extra bandwidth ). We can't go back now, but the thing is, people who give a crap are becoming more of a rarity lately (some still do tho, thnx to Doni Hagan-nice guy). Don't take this the wrong way, but I cared when Aus went to surgery. I don't really care if we lose a member who's only been here a few months. I miss my old forum, where everyone knew everyone's real first name (Was I watching Cheers reruns earlier?) and would be more than happy to get back to it. With soooo many people as members (something like 200,000, right Cliff?) you really have to contribute for anyone to care anymore. Hate to sound cold, but I can't say I'll miss you (I don't even know you) but I can say good luck with future endeavors, your Fiero and Corinne (I'm engaged, and I yak to all my buds about Kelly-yep here it is- I REALLY REALLY REALLY love Kelly!!! And I don't CARE what anyone thinks! [unless it's my mom, the most important woman in my life!]) Take care and don't let little things get ya down! (Sorry for the long post).

I think that's only half true. There are certain people here that we can't help but just not care about. Like the people that come on, sell their 4 items, and are never heard from again. Or the people that ask 1 question, and you never see again cause their car runs and they don't need us. But there are people in here that you can't help but care about. I don't kow Aus from anyone else, or even 84Bill. But I was truly downtrodden when I read about Aud's surgery, and I was honestly worried when no one heard from Bill for 4 days. The problem with so many people on the forum, which I must admit I'm one of them since I've only been here a few months, is that there are so many people that ostracize themselves. Rude comments and pretending they know all, and if they don't then there come the flames. To a lot of people this places is a bright spot in the day. I love coming on here and reading what Galen or Bill or Steve N says, and laughing my a$$ off. This place is what you make of it. And being brash, rude, and stubborn isn't going to get you liked or anything. Just my $0.02.....
they are minority. Dont see dat bothering me do ya? na na na...
