guys, the BAIC section IS off topic...
I don't know if you all realized, but the BAIC section of i-club is an off topic section. However, it's a chance to discuss off topic things will only your local friends. If you mods keep moving the "off baic topic" threads, there will not be anything left. The only way you can keep BAIC Bay Area specific would be to make the whole section about local meets.
Leave it as is, we have been doing fine for years. We don't need change.

werd up......its fine how it is......us bay areas sometimes like to post random **** or something that would normally go in a diff section......thats how we do do and thats how we will do!!!!!!!! NOBODY CAN STOP US~!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. They shouldn't be moving things to other places. It's not like our section is so jam packed with pages of topics which then would require moving.
I like our posts in here because it's "local", we all know each other and like to hear from the peers we know.

honestly, except for the past week or so of idiot threads in the SRIC, the OT stuff is mostly contained in the daily thread. Majority of the rest of the forum is on topic.

This same thing happened on another large car club forum of mine from years ago, and the norcal regional forum died completely. Even meets died, no more threads.
With the little amount of traffic, it's just something that happens. People stop checking their local section
*this is from experience
Leave the modding up to the regional mods.
