What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (36 Viewers)

[Dragos80]

you can access this sight without paying. you just have to deal with less benefits and a lot of ads


this is "tech". none of what you mentioned is tech

So, "what did you do with your 80 this weekend" is considered tech?

We are all adults here. For the most part we all learned early on in life how to take care of ourselves. Believe me, plant of members here quickly put the lid on anyone who takes a step in the wrong direction.


And let's not forget, since it was mentioned that we are all guests in the owner's house: without members this site would be nothing. So there would be an empty house without any guests, paying or not.

This begs the question then, is this topic fit for the tech section?
It has nothing to do with tech. I f I take my 80 out for a ride I can post here and truly be on topic. If I gas it up and report it here, I would still be on topic. If I take a picture while driving my 80, I would not be off topic. If I have a beer with my 80... well you get my idea. Right?

What am I not getting here?

That was my thought as well....

Sorry if my post that got deleted made you guys uncomfortable. I spend a good portion of everyday in a swimsuit and I'm from Hawaii, so I'm less uptight about that I guess. Didn't mean to offend. It's just if I do anything with my Land Cruiser, 90% of the time I am in a bikini since it's primarily used for exploring beaches, and this is the thread for what our weekend adventures were with our LCs. Again, sorry for any offense taken.

Ok. I did an oil change on the '80 today; Shell Rotella T 15-40, Bosch filter. Does that count?

See the "Head Gasket and ..." thread for more. I'm tired, but not bleeding.

Working on a chicken run with my daughter. Carried some random supplies for said project randomly on the 80.

Also, a male Cardinal has become very attracted to the 80 and is all over it every time I park in this spot.

I'm pretty sure that's a male cardinal.

Painted my flares with Plasti dip to cover the bad paint on them and match the Rhino Liner on the Hood.

Did you sand them first or otherwise do any prep?

The male cardinal is indeed the brighter of the bunch and that is what I was thinking but didn't make it to my fingertips... you are correct, it is a male Cardinal. Original post corrected. Thanks.

My green land cruiser. Monstaliner.

Looks good. Did you do the jambs and what not too?

No need to apologize. There are a lot of threads on here and the moderation is hit or miss. I've been gigged on stuff before and then watched other people post the same things later and nothing happens. I wouldn't want to have to sit around on my Sunday and police through other peoples writings and decide what's appropriate and what's not. So for that I appreciate @Romer taking the time out of his day to help with the website.

On the other hand I don't see why anybody would be getting upset about you posting your pictures. Me and the guys at the firehouse thought they were great by the way This thread is titled "what did you do WITH your 80 this weekend" not "what did you do TO your 80 this weekend". If you took it hunting, fishing, to the Home Depot, out to aunt Fran's house, or down to the beach to take some nice photos, that's all stuff you did with your 80. This thread had 943 pages and most of them have pictures of stuff that is loosely to not at all related to 80 series tech. So what, its obviously one of the most enjoyable and most viewed threads on here for that very reason.

Good open minded post, thank you for that

We generally don't read posts or even moderate threads unless they get reported. That forces us to read/review and then we have to update the reported post to show it was resolved or escalate it

There is a lot more chat in this section then there use to be. The rules, listed under the help tab at the top under terms and conditions state

"You are prohibited from posting any Content that is illegal, obscene, defamatory, infringing or otherwise objectionable. We reserve the right, but are not obligated to, moderate any and all Content on the Site according to Our own standards. However, the fact that We do not moderate certain Content is not an endorsement by Us of that Content. We have the right to enforce these Terms in any manner We deem appropriate, but We are not bound by any enforcement measures We may use."​

We try and do our best and try to be consistent, but unless someone reports it, we often don't read most of the posts. We have jobs like everyone else here and when we come on we come to do the same thing you do, read other posts to see what is going on. Getting involved in reported posts is not something I enjoy.

Did the BS thread already get deleted? It was there 10mins a go, now I can't find it.

Yeah it feels pretty comfy/friendly here, better than most places.

Yeah, well, we can't have that now, can we?

This is the place where the 80 community meets and has a virtual beer while bragging about their 80 of course.

half k cruiser said it really well. It's the most popular topic here. We all ask appropriate tech question in the appropriate topics, or simply create one after performing an extensive search.

Chat is different animal that most 80's members do not dare to look at. This is by far the most civilized and relaxed (mostly on topic) thread in the 80's section. And I really want to emphasize "civilized". It really is. I do frequent Chat and i know the difference.

I really thought AlohaJen was the one offended here. But it looks like I was wrong.
My wife told me I should man up and not be uncomfortable about the pictures she posts here.

I'm far from a rust expert so I will defer to your judgment. I just can't wait to get it fixed, the old license plate I have wedged in there to keep debris from being launched into the cabin isn't going to cut it for long.

Good deal. Just be sure to address whatever water ingress caused it in the first place.

I did this very thing on my daughter's Cherokee without fixing the water ingress and it accelerated the rust out process.

I did it on my cruiser and immediately went after the water ingress, and it is holding up fine, so far (crosses fingers).

YUP

If you take this little bit of tech/chat conversation away, what's left?

How about delegating all the "what did you do with your..." threads from all the forums here to chat. Just to be fair.

Edited for profanity

After discussions with management, it was decided that is not the best course. It would be a moderation nightmare

I have communicated to those offended to use the Ignore button in the future

I have sent a note to Aloha Jen to have some cruiser content in her post

Carry on

That's just sad. Really.
I'm done ranting. Still very sad.
