This might soon be the only IRL forum left

As a result of this weekend's attendance & TV number seemingly being the final straw, the mod over at TF has thrown in the towel, so to speak, regarding indycar.

That ought to just about do it.

Fun while it lasted.

Why? I think we're done.

I quit poring over the latest ratings a while back, because it didn't matter if they went a tenth this way or that - if they didn't double, triple, and then quadruple real quick, then that would be it, the series would fold, and possibly the Indianapolis 500 with it - certainly as we have known it now for the last couple of decades.

Instead, they are now a half or a tenth of what they were.

I don't expect it to "come back". All you gloaters (you) and negative nellies (Howie and Chrissie) can enjoy, but I got over crying about it long ago. Life goes on.

Happy now?

Are you forgetting the smackies?

[bugeyedgomer]

I heard about that place; unfortunately so did my wife and it's off limits

[SarahFan]

Seriously?

[bugeyedgomer]

Yep, she said her children weren't going to grow up in a home where that sort of stuff is allowed.

[SarahFan]

Language?

[bugeyedgomer]

Yes, pretty much the crude and rude essence of the place

Dumb reason to close a forum.

The TF Indy Car forum hasn't been closed, but it has been overrun with the loonies from the old Indy Car forum. The moderator is having "challenges" keeping the children in line. More than a couple seem like refugees from that "other" forum where the handful of posters are still living in the past

The low point is when drivers like PT post and then get blasted because they "don't know what they are talking out". Right.

PT doesn't post because he shot off his mouth about Bernard then got spanked and subsequently claimed his account was hacked
