Default I was just surfing some places I don't usually go on PY....

So I took a fly through the clubhouse. Wow. Hard to believe it's still the same website over there.

I was invited to reply to a topic "in" there a year or two ago. I did and really didn't see a reason to go back. I do appreciate that some like to indulge though.

Do you have to be invited into the clubhouse?

No. There was a topic going on that somebody realized I might have an interest in so they suggested I check it out.

Well all I can say is that the posts in there leave a lot to be desired to those who enjoy constructive conversation.

Yes Sir ! I figured out how to get into that forum, looked around and laughed. I assumed that there was a fee involved ,being a "club house" so I had never ventured there. That place is a big joke with a bunch of , if you will pardon me, low IQ racist bickering people that have huge egos. I understand what Mr. Dillon's signature photo was all about now. That fellow doesn't seem to contribute very much here along with some others there . It seems to me that this club house drags this whole forum down. I believe I will just stick with my '76 Trans Am, the tech forums here and steer clear of that cesspool.

When I find out someone is an active participator in the clubhouse almost to the exclusion of other sections, I find that I respect them less. Just like I'm sure they don't respect me at all for not participating in their brand of hate.

Man. You guys need to put your Big Boy pants on. If you don't like the clubhouse, don't go there. You don't need to snivel about it.

The CH serves a few purposes, the one side benefit is you can visit without posting and get to see someone's true nature, then you can decide if they're worth engaging with on the regular forum.

Have had my fill of "Keyboard Gangsters" on the net in general. Talking tough behind a screen is easy for any pencilneck. If someone can't express an idea or belief while staying in the rules of the "regular" areas here, then I don't need to read it. It means they need to be able to attack people, not thoughts, and need a large grandstand while doing it. Great for those that like that stuff, no problem. Hate is a nowhere use of energy.

I think the PY staff would just as soon not have the clubhouse on this board, but unfortunately it was necessary to keep that sort of stuff out of public view (after all, this board is used to promote their business, the last thing they need is a bunch of offensive material.) The lobby used to be full of it, mostly posted by a handful of people; interestingly, most of them have all but disappeared from the visible sections of the board, so it's pretty obvious they aren't here to contribute to the Pontiac hobby.

I participate on a few other web boards, and it seems they all have the same problem - either they have to moderate the board constantly 24/7, or else create a separate hidden section to keep those posts out of sight.

What a bunch of pansies. Like Bruce said, nobody is twisting your arm to go look. If you went and didn't like it, clear your browser history and cookies along with passwords and you won't have to be "bothered" by the CH ever again.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
