6G Celicas Forums

i can see your point luke....i really dont wanna see if one of these kids can do 130 in theyre auto ST's
thats not what im looking to have people post.
im talking guys who wanna show how fast theyre cars accelerate, even if it happens to go over 100mph.
if it takes longer than a few seconds to get from 80 to 100, i dont wanna see it, pretty much. lmao
also, flying down the highway for kicks @ 100+ is not gonna fly here as well.
its a tough line to walk, i know, and there is definetly a "grey" area about it, where things will be borderline, and peoples opinions will be split, but hey, what isnt like that in life?

RJB, just shut up, you have no idea what your talking about.
you havent BEEN here long enough to talk about the "beginning"
there was a time on 6gc all the stuff ive talked about was allowed.
with the street racing rule, alot of this stuff has gone by the wayside, or has not been allowed.

i guess at the end of the day, it will have to be a mods discresion thing, pretty much.

and no, there wont be a new mod, just for vids, thats just silly.

and joe, the "one shot kill" method definetly will be part of this, anything we deem not site appropriate is.
again, liking the opinions here, people, keep them coming, along with the suggestions on the types of vids you think are good/bad.
i'd like to cover as many bases here as possible, so that we will have somthing to refrence back to if a problem comes up.

i would like to hear from more of you!

There's my point.

this sounds cool and i think what joe said would be a could idea. the one shot one kill method would be best for this.

IMO anyone who has a camera has probably taken a vid or 2 at some point.

Is this site encouraging members to take vids ? no.

I've taken a few vids before, I think it should be moderator discression as what gets posted and/or deleted.

accelation vids, speedo/gauge vids, drive by vids, would be good IMO if the poster uses common sense while taking and posting them.

i know you guys have some videos on your computer...you should throw them up right now and say look...this is what is acceptable...dyno pulls, highway pulls, auto x...post them up, espically you pressure, i know art has a video crusin with a supra...its nothing crazy but they both get on it a little bit...im not home but i think i have a couple good accpetable videos to put up as well...everyone knows what is acceptable or not...just no street racing..its as simple as that...if someone wants to post up a video of their 95 st doing 110 then so be it...i use to have fun in my st, just carefull fun thats all...whatever your into..i think we need to get it started!

Here is my take on it...

1. all vids posted in the current mutimedia forum. No need for a new sub section as that would imply that people need to add content that has excessive speeding in it.
2. speed limit rules. no more then 100mph for NA cars, and no more then 120mph for turbo cars. I dont want to see some 16yr old in his ST trying to set a new world record by flooring his car for 30min. I also dont want to see a turbo owner maintain 120+mph for an extended period of time. Do your run, and shut it down. No need to endanger your life or loose your license.
3. no speed limit rules for foreign members. they have different laws then we do. for all we know, that 300mph run was totally legal because the guy was on the autobahn. a lot of those guys also rent out air ports and do runs there, which is perfectly legal.
4. no rules for tracks. this is a given. autox, 1/4mile, circuit tracks...do what you want there and lots of it.

x1000000000

this is a cool idea but going 100mph is just as illegal as street racing and their isnt a way to define clear and unclear roads, or if the "chase car" is racing them (which would prob be how cops would see it)- i think there is too much leeway- what about road course people? i mean no disrespect but i dont think it should be allowed to post acceleration videos like 0-100 (pressure) if we cant post racing, i dont think either is smart but we cant condone one and not the other

beta beta beta beta....

i think we should try it out for like a month(if that) the all the mods get together(all 2 of um) and figure if it is gonna be ok or not..

^ theres 4 mods and 1 admin

IMO id like to see acceleration runs & drive bys from other celicas just to see how'd they compare to mine (7afe, 5sfe, 7afte, 5sfte, 5sgte, 3sfe & 3sge vvti) since there isn't too many good ones on youtube

agree

also with our high res pictures we have to get them ok'd by a mod, maybe get our video ok'd by a mod before its posted, so we dont have any silly ones

also quick question, if you put a camera next to the speedo doing +200km/h and then say this is me doing practice at a race track, how would you prove it?

Yeah, there's Jeff, Collin and Coomer too

There's no way any new features, like video approval will be implemented as Coomer just isn't around any more. Remember the 'new features coming Friday'?

Luke we are trying to dream dont burst our bubble

Yea maybe Coomer can allow us to add a video or two into our profile...Then from there it has to be approved before it can be seen.

Just an idea.

adding video to our profiles ( assuming Coomer is here and with enough time to play around with the settings ) would take a lot of bandwidth thus costing money.

even though I don't agree, who am I here ? majority has agreed to try this, so keep it simple, upload to youtube pr similar and post the link, if a moderator feels is not following the rules, they can delete / edit the post.

That's true I didn't think about all the space the video would take up.

This is a pretty interesting topic. Also considering the fact that it is true that people have been convicted of street racing, wreckless, speeding, etc. just from forums. VAdriven, a forum site, mostly for hondas, is a site for VA Beach car enthusiasts and that forum is monitered by local cops. Its insane. People posting up vids of them hitting 120mph+ and it taking a minute and a half to get there is pointless and ignorant.


IMO, dyno pulls and fly by vids would be pretty sweet. ill be takin a couple as soon as im boosted. *January 28th, 2009* lol

on the bandwith matter, thats a good point as well. We could easily post the vid up on our youtubes or myspace or something and just post a link. If a mod doesnt approve... close the thread or edit the post.


well, thats my two cents.

i agree. lets just try it out though. if anything happens, we can kill the feature

that wasn't what I meant, I wanted it to be checked by a mod before other people watch it, getting approved before people see it.

yeah that sounds like a good idea

Tuffy, I see you looking in this thread. Get us started by posting a video of your car in action!

Of course this will be mods discretion, no questions about that. But my question is, would there be no videos of stock auto ST's trying to do a 0-100 run? Because that's gonna take forever and nobody is going to want to watch it. It will waste time. Like I said earlier, I think the allowed videos should be tasteful. If your car is capable of something, then post a video. But I won't be posting any vids of mt GT. I know it's not fast, and I don't want to waste everyone's time and have the entire 6GC community ripping on me for trying to do something stupid in a slow car. Presure, that quote sounds like you and I are thinking the exact same thing. So would videos of stock GT's or ST's be allowed if they aren't doing something impressive? I say leave worthless videos to Youtube and waste everyone's time there.
