I think they're getting enough sad-sack threads...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

My answer to any trolling of RL or other sites is NO. Let's take the higher road here. It takes very little to destroy the reputation of the community, and I am sure Dallas doesn't want to have 996O to be synonymous with troll farm.

Yeah, I agree ... But I was really hoping someone would notice that the threads I proposed are already there (and recent) ;-)

True. I propose that we enhance Rennlist by collectively initiating and contributing to a rotating schedule along the lines of the following:

Week 1: What's the best <select a fluid or other relatively prosaic consumable> for my 996?
Week 2: How often should I replace my <select a somewhat obscure part>?
Week 3: Show us your <select a year/innocuous color/prosaic body style> 996.
Week 4: Poll of the Month ... which of these <trivial and essentially interchangeable 996.1/996.2 options or design features> do you like best?

Rinse and Repeat. With a little creativity, this could lead to some of the most boring, content-free -- and strictly on-topic -- threads in the history of the Internet.
As others have said, NO.

Planning trolling of any other site here will not be tolerated. Actual trolling of other sites can bring consequences here too.

OK, calm the @#$%&*! down already ... I figured I'd put that out there and wait for someone to point out that these are actual threads from the past month of RL.

Never mind.

I’m at the top of the list! :) Heck, me and Pete Rose now have something in common. 8-)

Hahaha yea KoB, I was thinking that already happens on a regular basis on RL.

Nothing personal. We have had that problem in the past and happening so close to the schism it was casting this as some anti-RL clown show which is NOT what the site is all about. There has been some good growth here since then, so I also felt this was a good chance to make our stance clear.

I'll grant that I may have missed the sarcasm of your post as I haven't been to RL in some time now, but without that context I'll argue that your post reads much different.

I do apologize if I came off too harsh. I tend to get to the point without much filtering ;)

We're good as far as I'm concerned, no hard feelings or anything.
