Every once and a while I come to check in here and see a pattern of threads, not in a specific order, but something like:
MMA
Football
New Car!
I got a fucking ticket!
Video Game
MMA
Look at this ricer!
My computer broke!!!!
Craigslist Ad
New Car!
Video Game
Look at this ricer!
MMA

Look at this ricer!
I got a fucking ticket!
MMA
I wrecked my car and got a ticket for it!
Random Police Thread
Look at this ricer!
Football
My girlfriend left me =(
My girlfriend learned MMA and broke my computer and dumped me for someone who just plays video games.
And it just kinda goes on.
Every once and a while someone changes it up, but it's usually these same topics.

It snowed in Texas one time therefore global warming must be fake!
My brother's friend's cousin's neighbor was in a wreck and survived because he didn't have a seatbelt on.
Ricers are dumb because they speed down the highway 20 over at 17.00 in the evening but I'm self-justified to run them down and beat them in a race weaving from lane to lane and risks other peoples' lives because I am in a V8 RWD car.

Thank God for the sports threads or I would lose my mind in the Lounge... :bomb: There is now a NBA thread circulating.. Hoopsters are alive and well in the Lounge!!!!
Still don't know how the moderators read all this garbage all day in the lounge?. Mindless work that should be rewarded with full pay and benefits..
Hat's off to the mods that have to read my garbage at times...:usa:

Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast. As these cars get older, younger and younger kids are able to afford them. I'm willing to bet there's at least 100-200 16 yr old kids on this site posting frequently that owns these cars now.
It's just a matter of time.
FWIW, my son will be driving a beat up Volvo for the first 2 years he drives. Indestructible, and isn't fast. ;)

Yeah, there's been a changing over since I started here, a lot of well respected and good members either started lurking or left and a bunch of new guys started becoming regulars.
I just laugh, everytime I come to the lounge, its the same exact topics, just different threads.

Yep. However LS1tech is still the pinnacle for housing the largest wealth of LSX based information on the internet, so it's still a great useful site.
I come into the lounge about once a day, now mainly to keep an eye out because I was asked to help out in here. Other than that, I'm reading/posting in the tech forums.

The same question could be asked for
-baseball "crap"
-basketball "crap"
-Football "crap"
Etc..
Baseball, in my opinion, is about the equivalent of excitement to painting trees on a wet canvas and watching it dry. However it's got one of the largest fan base followings in all of american sports.

I can't wait to buy a 5.3l and get back into asking questions and pestering you mechanics with stupid shit :D
Then maybe I can spend less time in this portion of the site.

He admitted a while back something that would prove he wouldn't watch topless women jump around and pretend to wrestle, either, which would be the greatest sport ever.

as a matter of fact, yes i do. I absolutely cannot stand football for some reason. It bores me. And no i never liked playing any kind of contact sports and really don't care to watch them either :shrug:
About the only "sport" i ever watched, and usually only for a few mins here or there was auto racing.

It's cause it's two guys who are beating each other to death not to prove who's stronger, but to prove who has bigger balls. It's a compensation sport.
On the other hand, one sport that's easy to watch is women's mud wrestling.
edit, Bob Ross FTW.

You got an infraction because you hijacked a thread by needlessly flaming somebody for something totally unrelated to the discussion. You're actually doing something similar in hijacking this thread with your whiny crying in this post.
Bitching about infractions you've gotten in the past in totally unrelated threads is a pet peeve of mine. Straight up lying about why you got them and complaining about it like a little girl rather than taking your issues to PM is even worse.
The lounge is a place for mature, topical discussion. A mature, well-debated argument is encourage, but there's no place for needless flaming here. Read through the rules again and learn to follow proper forum etiquette (eg, don't hijack threads).
This issue is finished -- PM me if you still have a problem, or PM an administrator if you think you've been wronged. But you will stop hijacking threads by dumping your girly tears all over them or it will be made so that you cannot post at all.
