Hey guys, as much as i love hearing about nothing in some of the threads (some of it is pretty funny) can we remember that this is a bike forum? some of the threads, eg "I'm EMO" etc...
i can see the relevance to becoming better riders through threads like this but some of the newbies may not ;) is there any chance we can clean it up!
After coming back from my first "banned" session i realised you guys want this to be a respected site! lets try and keep it that way then...

It's usually not a good start to come back to a forum and explain that it's full of crap when you are being just a little hypocritical.

from the first quote; "BAN THEM ALL" and "CLEAN UP THE GENE-POOL" i'm going to assume it was talking bout people in farkin. I was more interested in deleting the threads that are crap, not so much the people that start them

Says the "wise one" after posting this :http://forums.farkin.net/showthread.php?p=669331#post669331
I'd agree with the others, in saying that you're being a hypocrite and that if you want to "clean the forums up", a good start would be your own posts.

How about you check which forum those threads were posted in, and then check the little line underneath the forum name that describes the forum.
Maybe that will be a hint as to why this complaint really has no grounds.

speaking of cleaning up the forums, farkin.net got blocked at my school because the web program found 'Pussy' on one of the pages, blocked because of pornography. Maybe i should try farkin.com??? hahaha

Scott,
little trick that works for a lot of sites at my school, to get past page blocks like that, go to google.com, then click on language tools next to the search bar. Once there, scroll down just a tiny bit to where it says translate a page. Type in http://forums.farkin.net and translate from german to english. Of course there is no german on a vast majority of pages, it won't change anything, plus the site blocker doesnt try to read the words in english to my understanding.
GO forth and spread the good word!
