Boots complaints

oh were do I start, urm How about a Forum were the heck is the Forum all great fansites have them, it feals kinds dumb typing this Blog entry as it might never be read by anyone, Guys you need a Forum dang it I need a Forum,

I used to be with bungie.net but for some reason any PC I use will crash as soon as I try and reply to any of the post's, its kinda odd that, its also kinda odd that every PC that has this problem all come from the same shop *thinks*

get a Forum up and running and I will recruit  new members for you, right im off for a smoke.

Hi Bootleg, Welcome to BurnoutAholics! We decided not to have a forum and to go with a blog/comment format as there are other Burnout forums available on the other Burnout fansites and we wanted to do something a little different. We also wanted to try to prevent the flame wars and petty bickering which forums seem to attract. However, we are a user driven site so I have put up a poll asking our users opinions on the matter. :-)

hey Zombie, still not had that race yet nevermind one day, anyway the problems with Forums are Flame wars, not really a problem if you have decent Modderators online if for example someone begins a flame shoot them down with a warning, or go for the 7day ban, problem solved, it is true that I like to flame and enjoy it to a scary degree but it is done so in a nice way just ask ichienkai my last victim (whom is a friend of mine)

dang it I need a PC, anyone got a cheep one to sell me.

Yeah, we definatly need to race one of these days! it looks like the forum idea is winning the poll so far, we will see how it goes. With the other forums available though how much do you think our forum would be used? People probably wont post here if they have already posted on xbox.com?? I don't want to start a forum if its not going to be used. Might give the poll to the end of the week before making a final decision :-)

personally i am not one for forums.. mostly due to the in fighting and flaming (noob to forums so have no clue).. and i do like the blogging ability on this site.. i would rather have the ability to post my thoughts and comments in one long thread rather than the shorter off the cuff comments in the forum..

as zom said there are lots of forums out there in the wonderful world wide web for pretty much any subject you care to talk about.. but there are not many dedicated burnout sites that allow the blogging function.. we are all here for the same reason and thats the passion for burnout... anyway to get information and hear what other burners are thinking is good to me.. this way rather than having to trawl through a forum and try and follow the multitude of conversation at least you can jump straight to a blog topic and read what your looking for.. and typically people only make comments when they have something relevant to say rather than saying something just because they can..

live and let live.. have forums, blogs.. maybe Xan should even set up a personal wiki for this site.. and just get the burnout message going.. keep racing, raging, crashing and killing your friends...

theres a thin line between genius and insanity... i think i've fallen off...

We're never removing the blog, that is one of the things that make this Burnout community site unique. We will have to see about the forum... I've had it ready for some time but we will just have to wait and see if it will be made available or not.
