6G Celicas Forums

I know its not a new subject but I thought I would bring it up again because there are a couple people I am talking with who are at "pending" status, which is hindering them from posting or replying.
Was there ever an explanation as to why Coomer isnt able to upgrade the Mods to have more power on the forums?


Homepage Spam. There is an ungodly amount of spamming happening in the comments on the Car pages displayed on the home page (the featured cars not the recently added cars, they may not be on the page long enough to get those)
Weekly I clean out the giant comments of gibberish code script. Usually comes in around 15 or so a week on my page. I checked Stephs BEAMS page and they have over 1900 comments.

Coomer was going to look into why new members weren't getting promoted from the trial members group to full members after a couple of approved posts, figure out why some new members weren't getting their registration emails, and disable spam bots from commenting after they are banned from posting. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to get around to it

was this back in 2015? I remember there being a discussion

yeah i agree. Mods do need a tiny bit more power around here. the page might be slowly dying because of this as well...

yup. this forum is dying, but lets face it not just because of this registration process. But because bunch of celica owners now a days want their crap spoon fed period.

Registration hinders new users, but old users rather post crap in facebook than to post here. And thats ok, because who gives a rat's a....

anyways this registration process will not change. And the spoon feed system wont. A lot of god stickies are created, nobody even comments. People are more interested in spending 5 bucks to get 300hp.

PREACH

So the forum is basically becoming a web reference guide. Not an actual place for interaction and discussion.

Part of that sucks, but as long as useful information keeps getting added to advance peoples knowledge (for those who actually research and read) I am alright with the new Encyclopedia-Celica.net

In a few years this will be our site

I really hope it doesn't become that way

No sense in keeping a site with no traffic

Someone needs to download this whole site for backup.
So much info would be gone forever.

a lot of people are getting out of the 6gc especially in the US or the cars are dead or junkyarded or whatsoever, I still have mine and still putting thousands on it.

How much does it cost to run? How can you buy the rights to keep it on going?

As useful as the forum is and the amount of great information there is on here, sometimes I prefer the Facebook page for asking questions that I need a quick answer to or for selling things. For the most part things sell easier on the Facebook page since it's more active.

That being said, the forum is super helpful and most of the time I'm able to answer my own question by searching it. Would be a shame for all that info to be lost.

ew... selling on facebook. i don't like it. at all.

lets post this thread on the facebook page

I just like it because it's quicker. Most people check their messages on there much faster than on here so it's nice.

looks like the donate option is a bit more out there now

Yup

I donated.
