Yes

You are right, I stopped submitting because the moderators are just like military to what to write and how. I give up!

Mods are like the "military to what to write and how"!! ?

The Mods here, and the Owners, are very supportive and allow for extreme breadth on topics, opinions, tangents and good stuff, imo.

Jeesshhh, I've had drinks and laughs with all of them, at one time or another, and if they don't censor/toss this ol' fool, they are obviously accommodating and tolerant.

How about some examples of your posts that got tossed or shut down?

Sorry

Sorry that I got excited... I had a few posts and they got moved to another area. I felt that I know the great people in the Lounge the best. I was so happy when I bought another X that I had to write it in the lounge only to end up in the E53 forum. The people in the Lounge are very intellegent people that are up to the times and what is going on. I do check the Lounge most days but do not add.

I do think that the lounge has less traffic at the moment. I don't think it is due to over-moderation, I agree with others that the mods are very fair. I think that the core group that joined when the site was founded have moved on to other vehicles in many cases, and we are seeing a natural cycle of ebbs and flows in membership as the X5 platform matures. We no longer have the same frontier/early adopter issues as we did in 2001-2003 in the regular forums, it is more about invoice price, winter tires, and a style of modifications that appeals to those who can now afford a well-used X5. That group doesn't seem to frequent the lounge as much as the original crowd.

connman, I see you had 10 posts in all of 2009, and only this one in 2010. Either a whole bunch got mass-deleted, or your migration away from this site happened quite a while ago.

I think facebook has a lot to do with the decreased traffic in the lounge. Plenty of useless posts there
