More people die driving home from work then they do in street races.
This is a well formed argument. People die anyway, so why can't I kill them?

You can, though we will not open a forum for you to discuss your accomplishments about it. That is not acceptable.

His argument is not even the point of why this happened. Sure, everyone wants to save lives, no one wants to see any die. But the primary reason why we removed a forum completely dedicated to street racing, is because it is illegal.

We do not want to place a stigma on the website, because we have an open forum that is dedicated to the purpose of bragging about an illegal activity that you participate in that is giving a bad name to the import industry.

Oh, and someone wanted proof of deaths? Here's just a small collection of articles found on where else? A street racing website. http://www.sdstreetracing.com/news/

You may not know this but people have been street racing for over 50 years. I don't think it is bringing shame to the import industry it's the automotive industry as a whole. I know I sure started racing in a MUSTANG with my friends.

I've been here for nearly 2 years (nothing compared to others), and this has never been a problem. As soon as we get new admin, BAM the rule pops up and this forum is locked down.

You know what? I've been here for two years as well, and I've always been an administrator. It's not till we reached the point where we can begin to make strides towards growth that we have put our plans into action.

OMG!! What a bunch of babies you kids are acting like. If I can't have my bobble I'll throw a temper tantrum. I watch this board because it is funny reading about how fast a 4cyl can go against a 6 or 8cyl and I'll miss the fairy tales but grow up. :sad: :cry:
