I dont think anyone is offended.

Im not offended, I know that.

As Admin of the forums and as a contributor over the last 5 years topics involving drugs or use of doesnt belong here- anywhere. Same goes for people who steal or other illegal activites.

Now he may be talking about something that is legal, but the intent is the same as the ILLEGAL susbtance, get high.

While Im not an Advocate for a Drug Free America I believe in it. Trying to circumvent the laws is just not acceptable IMO.

SO PLEASE:

If you want to get high, get the scoop on a new drug, or other currently legal options to get high- please do it somewhere else.

Talking about using drugs or other legal uncontrolled susbtances to get high plays right into the people who have labeled us as drug users/trouble/gangs/trash.

I'm not going to lock the thread, there is no reason to. When someone visits our site, wether they are 15 or 40, seeing a discussion about getting high is immediately going to give them a bad impression of the board. Not to mention the further bad impression that it giving the whole car audio community. It's not a matter of censorship. Bottom line is 3 people own this board, and if we don't want something being say, we will get rid of it. You agreed to this when you became a member.

Maybe Ryan and I feel so strongly on this topic because this is our message board (Chris, as well). We spent literally hundreds of dollars to get this site up and running, out of our own pockets, because of our love of car audio. Maybe we just don't want to have anything on the site that may turn away potential members. We have been fortunate enough over the past year that new Platinum memberships have paid for our hosting fees, otherwise guess what, it is coming out of our pockets again. We just want to keep a higher class picture to the whole site, and in turn the whole car audio community.

i see your point.....and i understand my place on the totem pole of cac.net...when you see the bottom totem im about 50 feet below him...i have no problem with that...but in the interest of keeping this sort of thing from happening again, if you dont like something and dont reply to it, it will go away, how many of these posts are about this thread being right or wrong and how many are ligit replies to the original post.......i had the only legit reply to the original post and think what you want of me for it...but it was kikis comment about the community toilet that started things off and kept this thread on the front page....now im not picking on kiki, he is as opinionated as you or I and if it wasnt him it would have been someone else, its human nature. but i wll point out the beer thread didnt get this type of harrassment and before you reply that beer is legal so is the incense stuff regardless of what you do with it so before you go and talk about how wrong it is to use it for purposes for which it was not intended think twice before cleaning your ears with your keys....

For the record, even if we neglected to mention it in the forum rules, it has always been a policy (of mine at least) to disallow the discussion in open forums of anything illicit according to US law.
That legally covers the owner and administrators of this forum from prosecution, or at least helps greatly in reducing the risk of such.

I do the same thing with the IRC channels I op if the channels are registered with Cservice.

On a related note I do realize this topic was not an illicit one, as the original poster stated. I just wanted to clarify about the policy suggestion since I saw it mentioned.

It's not so much a matter of your upbringing, or where you live, etc. I just prefer to kep this a more mature place for adults to converse. We have enough places that allow anyone and everyone to come along and act childishly without any form of moderation to their behavior *coughCAFcough* so one of the reasons I've stayed here more fervently than any other forum was because of the more mature nature of the discussions here.

That's all.

And who thinks your gonna rob them??? No body has ran away from me when I pulled in a gas station. And look at the mix of people, they bring there own personality, and who is gonna look at this site that hates car audio? If this is feeling like a trailer park, then dem dang ole pigs be flyin outta my arse.
x2 from oklahoma as well, and have lived in a trailer as well :)
