Friday: Part of the reason outsiders may not feel welcome may also lie in how discussions are carried out online.

If all one views is back and forth redundancy there is not much appeal.

Nevertheless a broadened audience base would do well here.

M2T: Part of it is just flaming and similar in an attempt to purposely derail respective topics..

Other than that I think due to a multitude of factors people can't hold discussion either due to clouded personal views or other factors entirely.

Anyhow thanks for the replies everyone. Really places a perspective on the matter.

He is pretty smart... just some of his things.

wow, now resorting to name calling see the bus random thoughts thread. yeah calling people 'idiot' makes him sound real mature.

I didn't even notice. I honestly don't care but if someone reports him that's all the fault of him.

if you have an issue with someone, why not settle it on the pm? I mean we had our differences in the past, but now we are good after the chat on the pm.

GC is right. Works everytime.

Relevancy/going OT is a bit of an issue on here... doesn't bother me that much though tbh...

The only person's intelligence levels that gets to me at times is QJT....

As for professionalism, I aint on here to display levels of it... I exchange ideas & thoughts/viewpoints and that's it...

Thanks for the compliment.

That's what I thought. Shut it.

That's what I know. Thanks for the compliment.

ttc: I agree. Taking it seriously and having fun with it is great indeed, but doing something stupid over a bus or train or making yourself look bad is just terrible..

Q23 : Again, a lot of us consider this hobby as our lives for multiple reasons, they enjoy it, the equipment, the people, everything (a lot with the equipment). Its fine if someone gets excited seeing something they like, if it means that much to them

LOL, I think the only time I got excited over a vehicle was when I was 12 and I saw a one-of-a-kind prototype TTC car. Nowadays I just whip out my camera and get pics/vids.

Agreed with you Danny and ttc. You can like something, but there's no reason to obsess over something. If I like something, I'd take a pic/vid and that's that. No reason to make a scene. As for other obsessions, how many times can people keep making up scenarios or change a bus/train route? I don't mean the once in a while stuff, I mean if it's one person going on over and over about the same ideas that have been shot down.

Today is the day, or rather was.

You guys got it big time!

Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one.

Nope.avi

He's been quite annoying as of late (to say the least), so it's warranted.

Meh, I don't care. To each their own.

Life is way too damn short to be so concerned about what others do.

LOUDSPEAKER: *doorsclosingstandclear*

I was a part of a forum where I got de-modded because I got into a debate with an S-mod about football....

The irony is, he ended up later getting banned from the entire forum (abuse of power).... I wasn't the only person he did that to....

The forum where I'm dealing with issues tend to group the members that have been there longest as an elite with the power to trample everyone else.

A bunch of bullshit, I'll just visit less often there.

Your first response = been there, done that.

Still won't stop certain a**holes around here. They're going to bring their crap on here anyway, because they still have their heads far up their asses.

Right on. You two are in the know!

Lol, you want them, u go and find them.

Surprising? They havent been out all that much on the B44!

Lol, why is this in my status?

Thats the spirit. People are butthurt when i just started the thread. Well those people can go to hell.

Now, calm down. Don't want you to get in trouble with the staff, lol.

Bah, everyone gets mad at me here anyway.

By the way, the 32s will be with us until 2017.

Man, if only I could say it already.

Since I can't reply to what you said on the thread... Sometimes when the R32's go out for garbage service, the front flipdot says X. Then again, a lot of the time It says something different.

Brett is right... The damage done to 1877 isn't that bad and looks repairable...

Agreed on all points.

How many Orion VII's at Nice got into an accident now? 1756, 1804, 1808, 1877...

>talking about people you don't even know #justsayin

but in all seriousness wtf happened? didn't hear anything.

Altercation with a teenage fanner. Nothing to serious from what I was told.

i gotta ask around who that "teenager fanner" was lol

Oh how I loved the Sega Genesis games...Sonic 2 being the best of them all.

All of the Sonic games are going for a $1/pop in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Sonic&c=apps

emulation ftw

The first phase of the SAS will be completed by 2016 (assuming it's on track for that opening date). The SAS was suppose to replace the 3rd Avenue El, which never happened and the El was closed anyway, so the Lexington Subway line on the East side has always had overcrowding.

And I believe they first began construction in the 1970s, so it's been over 30 years in terms of being something so close to reality, yet so far.

Wow, how f**ked.

Gotta love Green Day's Basket Case, I love that song lol

+1 @ both of you. Nice job guys.

I thought I was alone here, lol.

Who gives a f**k about that man, just nice to hear you're going places in life.

I got two college finals tomorrow.

Done with finals finally! Good luck with you!

So far I only accomplished half of what I intended to. To hell with it, I'm tired.

Furthermore per forum regulations I can't express my opinions without offending at least someone.

To say I'm frustrated is an understatement.

If anything these recent events have had me questioning why I even chose to partake discussion here. Maybe it's best that I don't.

With that said, you're a great person Mark, and I do appreciate your advice. I give my genuine thanks.

You know what. I try my best to keep the NICE section in good condition, but I'm not gonna babysit everybody who posts there. Just because you had an altercation with somebody else who posted doesn't mean you have to demean the entire section. There is a good variety of information in it and it is a great addition to the forum.

No worry dude (Realizm), it's all good. As always you have something worthwhile to add.

I don't know whether or not my comment commending the staff was deleted or not, but my point still stands.

At this point if there is disagreement I'd prefer to take it to PM.

At 17 most folks are just finishing HS, so I wouldn't worry. I started college at 17 and took it slow...

Thanks everyone.

I suppose you both (Realizm & Via) have a point. I appreciate it.

Well, at any rate I'm looking forward to the weekend, getting hammered amongst other things, LOL.

Happy Birthday man. Like VG8 and Realizm have already mentioned, your life is just starting. There's gonna be a bunch of opportunities for you to take on.

I'll be waiting.

Naw, they gotta take care of Kim Kardashian first. Your gonna have to wait a bit longer....

I see what you did there.

Glad that you have a new lease on life!

Good to see ya back here.

Thanks everyone!

Plum Island, anyone?

oh please with this rhetoric...

Ha, I wasn't even trying to piss anyone off, yet the evidence is right there.

You guys are too funny.

I'm telling you. It's just not my week, or month to be more specific. Mind you it's only the 1st.

How about years?

Yeah, I've lived through a dark period of time early on in my life. I have to say it made me a better person though.
