*Please read my entire post*
Eugene should be a moderator. Period.
This is very true, but qualifications and dedication to the club aside, there are already 4 mods. For a board of this size, that is already ample moderation. For example, I check this board at least 5 times a day, I'll be going to school locally with nothing to do weeknights or weekends...I'll be at nearly every meet, and I certainly am not a car noob........Should I be a mod? Should Thresher be a mod? What about Jason? no. There are plenty of candidates in the club that would make good mods, but we already have that covered.
It is in no way like we are excommunicating eugene from the group if we dont make him a mod, I'm sure his participation will be just as strong. It would be ideal if every member could be more like him. I would love to see Eugene as a mod, I think he'd do a great job, if we needed another. If one of the "original crew" wants to step down and hand their spot over to eugene, awesome, but there is no sense in opening up another spot for a mod.
The idea I suggested earlier (having a seperate mod for each section) has gotten little feedback from the "original crew" who "hold more say." Eugene, you've been around other forums, what do you think of this idea? I'll post more about it in the Need Site Input thread.
So, conclusively, I hope that the group can come to a sensible solution to this dilema. I have the uptmost respect for each member, but I do feel that this issue, as well as restucturing the site and club as a whole requires a bit more attention than its being given.

really from the original crew its just kyle,david,me,tyler ,strokin 250 and erics brother(dont know him). no offense, but wasn't I at the very first meet this club ever had? Standing in Nornthern's parking lot, in the freezing cold, I believe it was Dustin, Farlow, Tyler, Kyle, Kyle's dad Tal, Jason, and me. I just think i deserve a LITTLE recognition for being in the original crew. And I completely agree with Tim's posts. we need more opinions!

Like i said earlier, im behind Eugene being a mod for many reasons already having been listed. His knowledge of cars is extensive and like everything else has said, his commitement as opposed to the majority of people, has been (in my opinion) really important. As Farlow said also, i can also see how Eugene has the leadership abilities and ulitmatly, even have that vision to bring us out there as a club that others will need to recon (sp?) with. NOt to say you others couldnt do it, but i believe he could help us a whole lot. idk, thats jus a fraction of what is going through my brain but its the most my brain capacity wil allow to get out... meh..

my 2 cents if i can think clearly. Thresher- you are going to complain about commitment and longevity and such of the members here? i cannot think of the last time i saw you out at anything besides cookout that night about 3 weeks ago. You used to be much more commited, interested and commenting on the board. I'ma be real- you really havent posted in much of anything accept dramatic threads such as this and others where things were stirred up lately. If you would put the effort you used to into this group, I'd have my vote for you anyday. I am in no sort trying to attack you or play favoritism but i feel as if your comments were basicly the smae thing over and over and my above thoughts surfaced after each post you made. honestly, eugene is not one of my favorite members of this board but I feel as if he puts forth a lot of effort to an organization that really does not give anything back to him and i feel as if he has the leadership capabilities to move this group much farther. He has organized multiple meets and been laying down a very reputable attendance. I think he has been to every meet that we've really had in the last 2 months+. Some of you who voted no have never really been around him. I feel as if some of you who basicly categorize like he said in an earlier post dont take the time and open up and talk. Most of you who voted no do not even know him. This is one reason why i keep pushing for this. I'm not going to close this poll as Eugene requested because i feel that there needs to be more input from members on why or why they didnt vote. Erik and I are both planning to be out at more meets. Don't try and say he doesn't participate because I remember when me and him when to meets and were the only ones to show up. I just think that he's only been on the site for a few months and why he may have the knowledge he hasn't been on for long. I would rather see Kyle as a moderator even though I really don't think we need another one anyways.

i have seen you at one meet in my life. its funny that this moderator thing has gotten so big and political i think we should have a pre election vote and every one can make signs and banners and give speeches at cook out. "i have a dream that one day...we can talk about cars again, that no one will get lawsuits and speeding tickets...that little kyle can moderate his heart out and eugen can be are token modd. i have a dream that the little black kid(which we have none of) and little white kid can race hand in hand... that we can love the rotary even though david has 4 of them and none of them run at all. that one day tyler will make love to a woman... i HAVE DREAM THAT WE WONT HAVE SO MUCH DRAMA and ill stop being an ass hole." vote me. sir Lundy of england.

I'm still very hung as to what to do about this. Its very hard to make a decision when you know you have the power to do it yourself, but you really want full group back up before making the decision. i could never be a politician.

damn this is alot more intense than i thought it should be. I cant say much about posting on the boards alot because i truthfully just dont get on the net alot. i can say though that i was at the first meet and at bo-j's when tyler first told us about c-speed. This sholdnt be based on the contest of whos been a member the longest, but who is actually an active member in all parts of the board and meets. Eugene gets my YES vote for mod. although he has not been a member since the club was first started , he has organized various meets, shown up at most meets, very respectful and nice guy, and is willing to try and help the club out . peace

this is actually the first time ive even posted but i think eugene deserves to be a moderator bc since hes been in te club he has been a very active member and is friendly to everyone so i vote yes bc it doesnt matter how long someone has been a member if they hardly ever participate in anything

I think you have to have a combination of the 2. I say for now don't make him one but if he keeps it up for another month or so then maybe make him one. I actually noticed that he actually has slacked off a little bit recently though. No posts in the past 6 days and only like 4 in the past 2 weeks or so. A moderator needs to be able to be on here everyday and be one of the most active memebers.
