Looks like I'm the lone vote against - so let me explain. The dynamics of trying our best to monitor and maintain sanity on this website is an awful lot of work. Only due to the hard work by Brandon and the moderators do we even have half a chance of doing this. The Chit Chat forum has by far the most hits and posts of all of the forums and it brings us the MOST headaches. Maybe it's just the nature of Chit Chat - a place for a wide variety of stuff to talk about. Sometimes the silly can be taken wrong, it's easy to let our guard down and the next thing you know - wham, bad taste, questionable posts - then, explosion and the things out of control. Our moderators do an awesome job of monitoring this section, but even so, this is a difficult forum to justify. You see, it only takes one bad post to cause me (lead from Delphi on this team) to have headaches and potentially phone calls from the higher ups at Delphi. I explain that we are continuously monitoring the website - but - if it gets out of control, we won't only lose the Chit Chat forum - we potentially could lose the entire chiefdelphi website. To me, that is just not worth the risk because the technical and FIRST related posts are more important in the overall scheme of things. Pass the word - post with care and understanding for everyone's sake.
