My two cents....(to all the new and old Indyfans)

Okay, since no one's going to be rational and be fair, I feel the need to get this off my heaving chest. So here it goes...
When I found this forum six years ago in college, I thought it was a cool place to hang out and talk about Indy, Indy gear and Harrison Ford (even Star Wars as well). I found people who felt as passionately about Indy as I did. To this day I consider bud-arc, JuggleEwok, Jay, graml, Fall Guy, all three of the Lamberts, Shorty and those I've talked to in passing to be my closest friends. They represent the true soul of the forum we've grown to know and respect as colleagues, friends, adversaries.
Years have passed, and new people have dominated the forum with snide racist remarks, rude insults, and sprouting off things that make no sense to be on the forum (I mean who cares about Indy's boot laces... even I know they did not exist back then...remember the sixties?).
There are a few people that I count as friends since they came on (3k$, even Calixar). But others remind me of how I acted back in junior high and even high school, the remarks my brothers and I threw at each other while I was still living at home (Yes, I know, I have freaking ISSUES!). None of us needs this childish behavior. Most of you are adults and should act like it. Sure we laugh about it now, but when you come back in six years and see the disgust and vulgarity I see, you'll realize what I am trying to say.
The point is Micha made this forum so all of us could enjoy. If this nonsense gets out of hand, we can come back tomorrow and find no forum. DOES ANYONE WANT THAT TO HAPPEN - AGAIN? I know for a fact that it is being considered. If you're just here to stir trouble, go over to IndyGear... it will give you a few laughs until the feeling has passed.
One more thing, if you post anything, be a man (or a woman or whatever) and post your email address. I'm sure others would like to get in contact with you personally. Keep that in mind when you post.

Oh BTW, the petition for the off-topic to be off the forum... how do you think that site started? From the creativity of Indyfan forum members. I suggest we add a link to NIM<.
