i think that instead of a skateboarding forum it should be just a board sports forum. im sure lots of us surf and snowboard and snow skate and skateboard and whatever else you can do on a board. this way that part of the comunity would be used more too, especialy with winter comming up.

dave, if you would look at my huge ass post about a warning system that i have completely lost, i put some great ideas in there. if i find it, ill edit this

ah ha! took me half a freakin hour.
dave should start a warning system that he can operate. i saw another forum with if u get 5 or so in a month, you get banned til the end of the month, one gets taken away every month. i think that is kinda gay, gettin banned... but you could make it so with one warning you can only make 10 posts a day or somethin, then 8, 5, 3, 2, 1 and such. that wuold be cool. and it can keep crap posts off. i do admit, arguing is fun, but it gets annoying.
also dave, if you could delete old topics that no one posts on any more, like if a question has been answered, it would clean up the forums a bit. but you gotta keep the hello topic. ok that shouldve gone in site suggestions, but w/e

I think this attitude is half the problem. People feel the incessant need to post as much as possible, even if the post has no substance.

Personally I feel more, and harder moderation is needed, and the message should be sent out that posts with no substance will not be tolerated anymore. But I'm a hard ass prick, and thats just my view.

Oh yeah, and I think a big improvement to the community would be banning this little thing: Crazy Eyes

Censoring will have to happen, since it's a family site, and Dave is open to legal issues too. Personally I love being able to use my full vocabulary, although when I type uncensored I still keep swearing to a bare minimum.

The "izzle" stuff has gotten old, I'll come up with something different.

I would actually rather just have the real words, but not everyone is mature enough to use them properly. They would mainly be used to bash each other and products and that isn't what this site is about. I still feel that you can get your point across without using any swear words.

I'm with you on this one and greg I agree the veterans and more knowledgable people (dare I say more mature) need to step forward and be more active. The problem though is that when they see a post like WaKeSk8Er1234's they don't want to be involved with that stuff.

Yo, I agree with most of the low posters + Dave (great site) and Josh (I feel ya homie) People just need to think more and run their mouths less. I think that this is a place where people can actually have some discussion about things instead of just trading insults or just slamming your heads on the keyboard (which I speculate this is what some of you may do). This should be a place where an industry figurehead can come and say what’s on his mind without feeling like he is talking to a classroom of 1st graders and a 1st grader to come and talk and not feel like he is putting on a presentation at a board meeting. Be mature enough so that this board actually looks like it can handle the privilege of curse words.
