I doubt many MC NECO members have time for this right now, I for one do not. Seeing as the economy isnt doing that great and we are in the automotive capital of the world with a majority of us having jobs related one way or another to this industry we have all taken a hit.
Unless one of the younger guys wants to step up and take this on, I doubt you will have a rep from MC NECO.

yeah chris, this is a good way to get the younger guys involved.........................:biggrin: the less work for us workin folk the better ;)
i am a workin folk myself...i'm just trying to step up and help out the community.
For the time challenged, it basically puts you on the mailing list with the need to fill out the bio later.
i just dont see how every other group can do this, but you guys can't. i work in the computer industry, and we have taken a hit too on this whole ordeal. But i'm still willing to put forth time and effort to help out.
At this point, anyone who is interested from your group would be great. But if you don't have anyone step up, then McNeco is gonna have a DNP on the newcougar website. I don't want that, especially from one of the most needed groups of all.

honestly i don't have time either.... i would say start it up... if we here at MC-NECO feel bad that we aren't included then i'm sure one of us will step up... but i don't think anyone here is gonna commit until they see this whole thing going.

Sorry. I thought it was a silly idea. I really could care less about letting other chapters know about what we are doing... if they are that interested they can read about it here. Not only that.... but the "chapter of the year" doesnt mean alot to us either since we are basicly exempt because we(used loosly) run cougarfest.
Sorry to knock ya but add to that the fact that im VERY busy with other things right now AND we dont even have our OWN site up and running yet... this got major back burner treatment from our group. This is the time of year that the carclub goes out the window for a bit im afraid. We all have mucho personal stuff going on and its cold as hell here so there are no meets unless they are indoors. Not only that... but most of us dont even drive our cougars in the winter. Again... sorry for not participating.. but I think its silly. Thats just me... aparently im a negative person since all the other groups are in... but then again maybe they did it so you would stop pm'ing them.
Im not going to do it. Anyone else from mc-neco is more then welcome to rep.
EDIT: I just re-read your hit about "taking an active role in neco" You can kiss MY active ass. Do your homework and youll see that this is THE most active part of neco. Sure..... socal and some others have more members... but we do more with less then you could ever imagine. God I hope you didnt drive up MY ramps at cougarfest... i guess i wasnt taking an active roll in NECO when i fronted the money and spent 10 hours in blistering heat building them for people I didnt even know. Maybe you were talking about brad who single handedly created cougarfest as we know it... or maybe puck who now runs it and moderates this board and has time to go to other chapters to show them how to do mods? Maybe zncoug who has been doing shows lately? I take great offense to you. Take your silly ass chapter of the year idea and shove it. Oh... i guess that means we dont win. Big effen deal.

I had a big long mean response to your message, Ex, but i deleted it.
It's pointless to argue over a comment you misinterpreted, and someone from MCNeco has stepped forward to help out. If you want to make a big thing out of this, be my guest. I'm not one to get all pissy because someone posts a message on a board.
Im not going to nor trying to knock MCNeco. I just wanted to make sure one of the more important groups in the whole thing would at least be in the talks.
At the least, it requires filling out a questionnaire about your group to be posted on the website. Maybe a few pictures, maybe a little bit about some of the group leaders.
Not that much. Sorry to offend. If you still got an issue, bring it to PM to handle it.
PuckPuck
11-28-2001, 11:49 PM
ummm... we don't have group leaders... exigent is the moderator but that's about it... everyone in mc-neco are considered equals....\
... anyhow i don't like the idea either, honestly if people want to know about the chapters why don't they just come out and check out the chapters, we all have our own forums... the only other thing i can see out of your idea is the ranking thing and i think that's just gonna be more of a trouble then anything else and it will only prompt wars between chapters
MercMobile
11-29-2001, 12:11 AM
exactly.. I don't mind the whole idea of being able to go to one place and read just about the happenings and history of each chapter, it is easier than sifting through threads..
However, with chapter ranking, "Who's the most popular or helpful" you will no longer have people working together to solve problems or find new things to do.. but instead will have every chapter competing to have the most and do the most, for their own chapter.
Dave, I am just jealous I never have the GUTS to send notes like that anymore. I type them then delete before I send them. I am getting old I think. You Guys in MC-neco have done a great job for the Cougar and everyone involved.

Mr Sack,
I suggest you take yourself and that horse you rode in the f#ck outta MC NECO. I want you to seriously think about what your saying before you come into our forum giving us $hit.. Lets see.. how many groups in NECO have come out with mods besides MC NECO.. lets see.. gutted precats was mastered by Exigent and after some refining we posted a how to on the whole process.. Who organizes CougarFest? Geee.. MC NECO does and has for every single one, thanks to Atomic and Puck there is such a thing as Cougarfest. Who on this board has 2 racing Cougars.. hmm.. Leo and Craig Capaldi.. I dont see anyone else around here who has done as much for the cougar as those 2, not to mention countless how to's by our collective group as well as many product ideas like headlamps and gauge clusters.
We dont want to be in the competition because it is plain in simple no other group in NECO can even come close to us.. I dont even need to mention everything else this group has done for all of NECO. So before you open your mouth in here again I suggest you think twice.

11-29-2001, 12:30 PM
hey now, lets all just take a deep breath....................then FVCK OFF as loud as you can!!! that goes for BOTH sides of this!! you don't have to really mean it or you can. the point is get it off your chest! damn, mr sack wasn't as rude as you have made him to be. i know its a trying time now and all, but man....everyone chill. Yes mc neco has done a ton for every one else, and i dare say much more than the other groups. but it is these other groups that you are doing it for. if you were really just in it for your selves, you would not be part of this board or even share your ideas. those of you who feel this way would be your own little group huddled in your bat cave some where with kick ass cougars and no one to share them with. there was never any question to the value mc neco is to this board, and at the same time there are a lot of people who will come to this forum because of the afore mentioned reasons. post like this get out of hand and everyone jumps on the bashing band wagon. don't let posts like this put a bad rep on mc neco, a rep you guys have built because your love for the cougar and enjoyment about sharing what you have learned with the board. if you want nothing to do with this idea, don't have anything to do with it. if you want to state your opinion so that you can say i told you so later, do it and let it go.
okay, i'm done now, sorry for rambling, all the b!tchiing was just getting kinda silly to me!

Slowwwww down Zn. Need a beer man. Anyways, all I got to say is you da man. I personally think that everyone involved in MC-Neco has brought alot to the board, and I feel we still have alot more to offer. That is at a price$$$$. Right guys.LOL. No, but really, I think we can all help each other out, thats what we're here for isn't it? Can't we all just get along. Anyways, you guys behave yourselves, and no name callin, alright children. Later fellas.

Joker, thanks for saying what I've been thinking. Zn...I really don't want to reply to you. I guess the whole idea is spawned off not to help the existing users, but to help newbies who may be interested in joining up. I understand you can persuse the individual sites and group boards, but it just might be too much for one person to take. Especially if they aren't computer saavy.
The idea is borne out of purely that idea. An introduction into the groups themselves. A group bio. Man, if it was gonna cause this many problems, I wouldajust asked a few questions and been done with it. I'm not trying to cause any inter-chapter rivalries or anything like that. For pete's sake, i thought it was awesome that someone from this group travelled all the way to Madison to show the whole gutting the precat thing.
Point being. This is supposed to be a fun experience to help consolidate general information about each group. The rating idea was an afterthought. The most important part of those ratings were the contributing ideasand the way one chapter plays with another. I think that is the most important thing. To realize that one chapter is no better than another. It's about putting our egos aside and trying to do something for all cougar people.
I'm honestly sorry if i offended anyone. I didn't think it was that far off base, and i'm glad a few people saw that. But there is no reason for you Zn to have to said those things. I didn't think just coming here would have someone resort to that much hostility.
Alright dude, I thought the whole idea behind this rep position was so u could find out info about different chapters along with the members. And if I remember correctly it was mentioned somewhere to me that there might also be the exclusive "CHAPTER OF THE YEAR!!!" Well if thats the case, I guess you kinda stepped on your own tongue there didn't ya? What was it you said? Oh ya-"To realize that one chapter is no better than another. It's about putting our egos aside and trying to do something for all cougar people." Sorry man, thats just my opinion on this whole thing!

<< To realize that one chapter is no better than another. It's about putting our egos aside and trying to do something for all cougar people. >>
Ok lets examine this.. If I remeber youe whole grandiose idea you had this thing called ranking.. now doesnt that IMPLY someone is better than someone else? Yep it sure as hell does, the word hipocrite comes to mind immediately for some reason.
<< I'm not trying to cause any inter-chapter rivalries or anything like that. >>
Really? I though that was what ratings were intended to do.. for refrence see the AP Top 25 poll.
<< But there is no reason for you Zn to have to said those things. I didn't think just coming here would have someone resort to that much hostility. >>
Well.. ya know what? You want hostility buddy you got it. You DO NOT come into our forum and start to talk **** to me and my boys. I dont give a f*ck who you are, if you say one bad thing about my club or my boys you have me to deal with.. ask anyone who has met me.. im not exactly a very small guy. So before you start looking for excuses you better learn not to come into someones place and talkin smack cuz im gonna get pissed if it has anything to do with MC NECO or any of my boys in here. I give them enough $hit that I owe them at the very least to flame anyone who comes in here tryin to say some $hit about us.
Now if you want to continue this little bash fest im all for it.. I dont take this kinda $hit with a smile and a thank you. Tho i will not put everyone else through reading a 2 page post.

PM Recieved from Sack boy:
actually Zn. it was one of the ideas. The whole point of putting together a forum to talk about this was to see what ideas were good and bad.
If you are seriously that pathetic that you gotta try to act all hard up on a COMPUTER...you aren't even worth my time. I tried being nice. I tried being cordial. But if you think I am going to be intimidated by your "not a small guy" comment you're wrong. I didnt come on here looking for a fight, but don't think I'll take anything just because i decide to turn the other cheek and try to offer an olive branch.
You need to check your ego and stop being a child. Trying to be cool in front of your boys is one of the dumbest things you can do when you really have no reason to be doing it.
As for responding to this message Zn, don't bother. If you got someting, bring it to PMs. But i'm not sit here and let your punk a ss try and look cool just becuase you got some sort of issue with something I said. Grow the hell up and stop trying to be a bad ass. ESPECIALLY behind a keyboard.
If he feels so inclined he can post my reply. I really dont care, as for you Mr. Sac.. You wanna settle this off the keyboard since you seem soo keen on metioning that? Bring it to Cougarfest where I will be waiting with a smile for you buddy.
So do us all a favor and stay outta our forum and dont come in whining like the little b|tch you are about how we are not participating.

Unbeleiveable. Dasack. STOP. Dont post in my forum and stop with the pm's to the others. You think its mature to use pm's? Heh. If you have a problem with that call trevor. Im NOT going to lock this tread yet. I hate doing that stuff. You made your point. I made mine and so did other. Im not going to piss back in forth about it. I dont know who is our "rep"... dont much care. I know that anyone will represent just fine. You were quite out of line coming here with your post in the first place. I dont know if you just changed your nick or what but it sure doenst look like youve been here very long and I sure dont recognize your nick. I was one humble fool when I joined. I still try to be. The last thing I would EVER do is to raise a rucus by insulting an entire chapter by calling them out as not activly involved. If it was such a big deal I certainly would have thought trevor would have sent us mod's a pm about it. I ignored your posts and pms because I didnt know you or much care for your idea. Ranking chapters is dumb. We all agree on that here. If you want a bio on us you should already know it. If you spend any time on the board at all you know about us. That is all im thinking you need. Trevor pm'd me asking for a description of the area we serve. He had a respone from me in a few hours. Instead of attacking US you should have thought about what you were doing. Ask maybe there was a reason why we were ignoring you. It wasnt just me either... everyone saw your post here. Im not the "President" like some other clubs have. Im moderate and signed the aggrement with mortis... thats about it. I try to take a leadership role when I can but I was smart enough to realize that Im NOT capable of being the all powerful master of the chapter. We share that here. Look. I dont want to fight here or anywhere anymore. Everything that has been said is sufficient to get the points out. You have your rep. Now leave it at that. He will help you with what you need so you have no reason to post here anymore on this topic. NO... im not "banning" you. Im banning you from taking this any further with ANY member of mc-neco. Like i said before.. you are more then welcome to take it to trevor.
Im making this official. Im warning you NOT to post or pm anyone else in mc-neco about this topic(besides the rep). Yes, if nesasary it will result in a strike. Personal attacks are not going to be tolerated here. Pm me if you have somthing to say about this... but youd better think before you talk. Ive had enough.

I think everyone involed in this silly little drama deserves a strike. Everyone got out of hand. That's the problem with NECO right now, too damn much drama. Mabye we should have a bar brawl room where everyone can go when they want to chew ass. So the rest of NECO can talk about cars without having to weed through the soap operas, personality conflicits and assorted crap.

Like I said before "we're just a bunch of guys that like our cars". Personally, that's why I think our chapter is one of a kind. I believe a bio will be given when needed-yet, I don't give a rats ass if we come in first or last. We're the type of guys who will keep our friendships when we're driving taurus' with child seats in the back, weighing 300 pounds and quit doing our own oil changes because we can't fit under our cars. That's just how we are and the proudest reason I'm a member of this group. I love you guys!

Congradulations y2kat. You are officially WARNED. Perhaps you didnt read my comments on this being a DEAD issue. I have recived a message from dasack and all is now well.
Your post here was not welcomed. It was not of any value and was nothing more then an attack. How long have you been in neco? Oops... You need to understand that some of the first members are here. I may not be THAT old but i go back 2 yrs or more. Riverrojo was like member #43 in neco or somthing like that. Regardless.... you are not welcome here. If you have somthing meaningful to add to a DIFFRENT topic go right ahead. Other then that you are WARNED. Last time I checked with trevor only I can issue strikes for what goes on in this forum. Not any other moderator. He could pehaps but I dont think he would.... He is very adamant about only the modertor of the forum giving strikes for activity in that forum. You have a problem with what goes on here then take it up with him because it seems to me im the law here now. In not the "president" but I have enough people on my side that I think im acting in the groups interest. I put a WARNING in your profile notes for all to see. If you dont like that talk to trevor.
READ THIS AND LISTEN. Next yahoo that posts an attack on this topic WILL be getting a strike. Thats TWO warnings in this thread. This is the last warning.
