The forum format does have an advantage for writing longer ideas. I think this is the most interesting place to talk about rally on the internet. I remember in the old days there used to be a lot of very interesting people posting. Pentti for example or remember when we had the best weather guy in the WRC doing weather forecast for us here? that was cool And others...

About assholes and such i guess it's up to the majority to decide what is acceptable but I know for a fact a couple people stopped coming here because let's say they didn't like the "atmosphere" or didn't want to be associated with certain types of discussion.
