I'm sure the mods won't allow this, but it is tempting.

[tommy tek]

Hmm, I just googled them, and guess what..i've seen them at flea markets around Maryland.
So, that's your best bet, a flea market. That won't get me BB, but it's a start.

Darn! I knew there's a catch!

Can you post a pic of the Trax thingy? I may be able to find one.

So a person can't even post that he'd give someone a free toy if they help him get another? There's no way for me to not come across as disrespectful to Ryan WHICH I AM NOT TRYING TO DO, but this place is fast becoming less fun.
Carbombya is taken away, and now you can't be too opinionated or debate someone without the danger of being banned.

It is kind of amazing how quickly people switch hobbies. Although I looked up tyco fast track I remember these things. Most likely place to find them now is a rc hobby store online or off they might still have some although I image since they are really easy to customize your going to pay alot for them.

I blame The Philosopher's Forum for the opinionated attitudes bursting out in full force. That kind of animosity can't be confined to just one forum, and it proved correct. A lot of it was carried to other sections of the board. Not to mention the thieves that took over Carbomya.

All of it was too much.

And a thread like this has nothing to do with one's opinion. It has everything to do with adhering to the rules. Either do or don't. Deal with the consequences.

Exactly, the rules are the rules and thats that. Also, this is meant to be a site to discuss toys. I would hope people can find a better place to discuss their opinionated attitudes than a website about toys, comics and cartoons.

If coments just stayed on topic.......well if horses could fly....

It's not free is someone has to send you another toy. That's barter, not charity.

[Leonardo]

Good point.

[Auto Bot]

Should have had an asterisk beside the title, and some small prints.

So what's this fast trax thing anyway? I'm quite ignorant about it.

[Leonardo]

FREE!*

*Not actually free.

Haha. Not quite the idea in my mind.

Let me try.

FREE!*
*Upon surrender of your Fast Trax toy.

Are you talking about the big ones or the smaller ones?

I don't blame the philosophers' forum, because at least it attempted to facilitate the free trade of ideas. I blame people getting all uppity over movie toys for our now more and more beligerant nature, really. Someone doesn't like Longarm and some one else does so it turns into this complain-fest about how Longarm is the best and how dare someone hold a different opinion. Or at least, that's how I've seen it. We all don't have to agree, and we need to respect others' opinions, but that goes both ways. If I don't like Longarm and you do (not you Autobot, you know what I mean) then fine, you enjoy your Longarm, but don't jump on my ass because I don't.

So these are Fast Trax. I've seen these. So easy to find in local toy shops!

I have a feeling he is talkin about the RC cars now that I am more awake to read his post lol.

The rc cars are a pain to find.. I been looking for about 15 min, and not much luck.

While those who in the greater majority who are not crooks suffer? Carbombya being gone is unfortunate, but I can deal with that. This new rule about being overly opinionated seems harsh to me. I was rude to folks at first, but settles in and calmed down. I rarely even post here anymore. But it's getting to the point that the rules are overbearing and take the joy out of this site.
Sorry, off topic. Last part of my rant.

[-Barricade-]

I wish the trade boards were open, and just make 2 new forums with in it, one for bad feedback and one for good feedback.

I agree. If being 'overly, opinionated is verbotten now, then why bother posting at all? I don't like starting trouble, and I'm not a rude dude and I'm respectful of others' opinions even most of the time when they are not respectful of mine, but geez, if I can't voice my opinion then what's the point?

[Malikon]

I don't think the rules are out of line at all, this is a very big site with a lot of members that sadly, do need monitoring.

the only thing that bugs me is that sometimes things are ok and sometimes they're not.

For example:
In the thread about posting random funny pics, I spent about 30 minutes one day going through all my pics and finding the ones I thought were funny, then uploaded them all and posted them here. Yes some of them were crude, one said, "Being an A**hole is part of my manly charm" Crude? Yes. Kinda funny? Well if you're a guy, then yeah kinda funny. But when I went back to the thread later that night my entire post was deleted. All that time spent, just wasted. Yeah I wasn't happy about that. And was told that "foul language" was offensive and not permitted on the boards. While meanwhile that thread had other crude nasty things, like a 2 year old baby being kicked in the head. *I kept that gif, actually just because I found it shocking*

But then in other threads, take the "Female Transformers" thread, that thread has the words "P*SSY" "T*TS" and all kinds of foul language, but I don't see them getting deleted. Matter of fact I've seen alot of very foul language, incomprehensible rascism and sexism, and yet all this stuff gets completely ignored. But then someone will say somethings, "gay" and I watch that get a flag and the person told that that is not acceptable.

There's a large double standard there. And yes it only bothers me because I spent 30 minutes of my life contributing something to a thread only to have it all deleted for no real reason.

I just don't understand how some offensive things are tolerated or encouraged, but then other things are not.

Cussing, half naked anime chicks, all kinds of wierd things get ignored. But then "gay" or "a**hole" gets flagged and deleted, I just don't understand.

That and some of the members can be really rude, but at the same time some of them are really cool and I've learned a lot just by reading the posts of some of the more knowledgable members.

I spend a lot of time here daily, it's just some days you never know what's gonna fly and what's gonna get you banned. You say something crude in a joking way and you could get banned, but then again other people say really nasty crude things in anger, and it gets ignored?

Just weird. Filter and censor all the cuss words, all of them, if it's such a big deal. I'm 31, I don't care or get offended by cuss words, I get more annoyed that it's not a consistent monitoring.

[Auto Bot]

Yup. True.

I'm just gonna limit it to that. Just to be on the safe side.
