April's Fool Joke:Suggestion: City/Street set-up

Just my two cents, I think it's a stupid idea. Big Whoop I don't see that it's going to make any difference anyway. Gator Greg may be the owner/mod whatever, but that doesn't always make him right. He should open a poll on the subject, if he had any nuts.
 
I think that this forum already is based toward those of us who don't do hardcore off-roading. Changing the name would be a bad idea. Who wants to put a "Street&TerrainT4R" sticker on their truck?
 
+1 to leave the name. I feel that we have a large street following on this site compared to any other toyota or 4runner site for that matter. Noone jumps on people for liking a certain style. Everyone here is surprisingly civil and accepts every one elses tastes it seems.

Just my .02 but I really like the name as is!
 
Having a 2WD 4Runner I like the idea, but maybe we can just make it a sub-forum. Kind of like the 3rd generation sub-forum. That way everyone is happy. :)
 
Keep the name... and the owner and moderator relationship between GG and Thai. Who cares if Thai doesn't even own a 4runner, he has a wealth of offroading knowledge that everyone can benifit from. Besides, its good to have diversity even between the moderators because that in itself diversifies the group.

Yes, their are more street rigs here than offroaders, but as it has in the past, let the forum pave its own path. Its not like that has stopped members in the past. They just subscribe to other forums as well.

I say keep the name cuz that what we all know this forum/platform to be. Saying it is an "offroad" vehicle or a "street&city" vehicle is just one of its many flavors.
 
IMHO, the name should stay the way it current is, toyota-4runner.org and t4r.org. This way the name says it all, it's a Toyota 4Runner forum. Adding a sub-forum for folks who have street trucks isn't a bad idea for those that desire a street truck; we have an off-roading sub-forum already catering to owners whose trucks leave pavement.

I don't see the point in adding "street and terrain" to the name and to play devil's advocate what about those who are audiophiles and into ICE (in-car entertainment), do we then make it street-terrain-mobile-ICE-T4R.org?

I hate to see the forum torn apart. I haven't been around here as long as others, but it's a great place for seeking and sharing information and ideas with very little drama and the BS that typically flood other forums. I hope everything works out between parties and this forum will continue to be the same reaching its next milestone with 20,000 members.

EXACTLY!!! Thai was a 4Runner owner and he might be one again in the future.

Previous 4Runner owners who stick around shows that the 4Runner left an impression on them that even though they no longer own the truck, they still have the passion for one.
 
I have not been around here as long as others around here has, but even though I don't offroad at all and would like to, I am a street T4R. I mos def think we should leave the name the same, T4R.org or toyota-4runner.org, and not change it, it would be different than the original starting of the 4Runner forum, to be about 4Runners, and not street and terrain. Now, I can see why you would want to change the name, but it isn't worth it, its too much hassle, and I agree that a "Street & Terrain-T4R.org" sticker would almost take up the whole window. A sub forum, much like the 3rd gen forum, or the FJ Cruiser sub forum, would appeal to much more than the name change. Also, post a poll if necessary, but I would say just add sub forum. Also, even though 84% of all members don't offroad, doesn't mean we should change the name of the forum. Since most americans is broke, should we change our name to pormerica? (Actually, now that I think of it, that doesn't really make sense). Also, kind of off-topic, but I was happy to see my Cheez-It vs. Cheese-Nip poll mentioned.lol. Feef out.
EDIT: Also, the thread starter even mentioned a sub-forum, not a name change.

I actually saw this coming...it's pretty hard to run a forum by two person with different view of where this forum is heading. To think, i actually helped him look for the 4runner he is driving now!:( Ingrate. When the deal between my friend's 4runner and him fell through, he all went bitchy on me! He did not even come to my wedding!

I am outta here for now.
Bitchy? YOu must have me confused with your new ugly wife. And your so-called "friend" tried to rip me off!

OMG, GatorGreg, you are such a child to say something like that! Are you 16 years old? Grow up man.

It's true. I have been (or at least used to be) friends with Thai for a long time. His new wife only married him cuz of his money and is turning Thai against all his old friends, not just me. I'm very sad that this had to come out in the open like this but I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later :(
 
Love the forum. Learned a LOT.

:awais:

"Don't let it end this way! , (Styx)".

:dancin:

"...So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same..., (Styx)".
 
:jaw drop:

I just want to say that ever since I bought my 4Runner I have come to this site daily and even made a few friends. It even swayed me to buy a second 4Runner believe it or not. The wealth of information and general camaraderie over a common interest for a particular vehicle is imho kind of remarkable. Everybody helps everyone out. Sounds cliche and cheesey but it's true. Now whatever name or direction the forum/site goes I will still come back. What's in a name anyway? Even if Toyota's Japanese to *Engrish* marketing department renamed the 4Runner as the Hilux Surf Trucky Super Snappy I'd still drive it.

Now I'm not one to get in the middle of any quarreling parties, but I think I can speak for most of the members when I say I'd hate to see any of the long time members leave because of something seemingly silly like this. I myself have not been here long enough compared to others, but I have the utmost respect for both Greg and Thai and appreciate what they put into this site. I hope you guys can work it out.
 
How about www.mallqueenT4R.org ????


:biggrin2:



I think a sub-forum would be sufficient.



GG and Thai - Nothing like a good old fashion argument on the internet. :chair: :wtf:

:wtf:
I'll go chase an ambulance just as soon as I get done banning your ass! I'm sure you and Brad Pitt will have plenty to talk about on the G wagon forum.

Edit: Thai is now banned from this forum. It really pains me that it came to this but my decision is final and before anyone whines about my decision please read RULE NUMBER ONE
