re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

My mom's father bought this 1959 Thunderbird new and my grandmother drove it until her second marriage. I loved the car. The interior had a mostly chrome center console and the interior was elaborately luxurious. They are referred to in collector car circles as "squarebirds" and are still desirable, but less so than the first generation. They don't belong on that guy's list of losers.

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

Anyone gokart here?

I know Cadillackid was trash talking about beating someone in karting, but it definitely wasn't me. Had to have been someone else... or maybe he won in his dreams? Who knows.

Either way, Anyone kart?

Oh and uhhhh... LOL V caliper keychain. [5 lug conversion]

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

That's a shame Mike. Are you at work now ?

OD keeps threatening to get rid of this thread and the picture thread. What do you think they (the mod team) would think if I started a thread called "Chat Room" ? Think they'd be pissed or turn it into a sticky ? Banter is kinda, I don't know, old fashioned ?

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

Sure am.....got a lot of other stuff I would rather do....

----------

I think if it was cts owners chat then ya, but I guess they will argue that there is a offtopic section.
I rarely tour over there because my pc and blackberry have the link to the cts section saved, so click and go direct to where I want...less page loading

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

No shoplifters to catch ? I'd think they'd be out in numbers this time of year. Or are you a different kind of loss prevention ?


Having a chat room sticky would be good, I think. You've got people coming in after they get their first CTS and they're excited and want to talk about their cars. Nothing specific, just flushed with excitement. And they have questions that don't justify a whole thread, just simple stuff like "is there a dimmer for the dashlights ? They might look for a thread, but there probably isn't one. They're new and maybe don't have the confidence to start a thread. And then maybe they've got other questions...what's this, what's that, etc.

Just having a chat room sticky at the top is friendly and inviting. It seems like the people that are against banter are the least friendly ones here. The name of the internet game is hits, hits raise revenue and revenue is what its all about. Just dry, technical stuff is finite. its all been said before...somewhere. This place may as well just be a technical manual in some people's opinions.

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

Agreed with that sticky idea.
Chat is more welcoming forsure. Can have I say (short CTS questions and random chat) or something like that.

Man I'm ripping my hair out right now with these holliday schedules!
I'm getting calls from 8 people all telling me the same thing, then I get emailed the same email from all of them, and one guy calling every 20 min saying the same thing over and over again...

update...i almost fired 2 guys that dont even officially work for me... they are just subs!!
looking forward to the day off tomorrow.. going to try my new sig that i bought and havent even seen yet!

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

um, this IS the "chat room" thread.

I wanted a shout box, but unfortunately it's forum-wide, and is a resource hog.
I don't understand...What is forum-wide ? Off topic bantering ? And just what is hogging the resources ?

Chat Room is a better name, better looking with a moderator's name on it than mine. You can simply delete the entire bantering thread.
The picture thread, with your tools, can't you simply "select all attachments" and turn them into a thread ? Then delete the whole "Post Your Best..." thread. Free up some more space by deleting duplicate pictures.

The pictures are fun to go through. There are lots of nice ones.

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

The shout box. Its this box that would show up at the top of the forums, but everyone in the forums would be able to see it, but it would be live \ real time updated, which is why it hogs resources. I've seen em elsewhere before.

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

Do you have the tools to rename this thread "Chat Room" or "chatroom" or "CHATROOM" or "CHAT ROOM" ?

The pictures in the picture thread make a nice slideshow. I might just burn a disc and do it myself.
DVD for sale...it would be a nice gift to the financial contributors. By mail.

You should contact Sal and see if he's willing to allow you to sell them on the side and have the proceeds go to the site. It'll be a great idea, heck we should find someone to make a calender for us too.

re: 24 Hour Random Spam Discussion Thread

I just added 21 gigs of flash to my machine and dedicated 8.5 gigs to Readyboost and the rest is for storage. I'll make a slide show. It'll be fun.

Putting my name on this thread isn't quite what I had in mind. Just a simple CHAT ROOM is ideal. Nice and inviting, to everyone. There'd be alot of "Hello, is there anybody here ? posts when its dead. They'll say something and maybe check back later or read some posts while they're here.

I hit white sevens again last time I was at the casino. I was in too much pain to play anymore. It took me an hour to walk from the high limit room to my car. But I won so it was good. View attachment 84021

I saved all the pictures to flash drive. Now what to do...

How about "CTS Chat Room" ?

Second generation owners welcome. We could probably learn from each other.

Then delete each of the posts when they reach 7 days old.

And of course delete this thread.

We always appreciate new ideas. But we do not delete posts or threads unless they violate the rules. Everything else is here for future generations who don't have the good sense to stay away.
