Should RASCAR discussion move off the newsgroup?
Jan Verschueren posted the Pocono incident review only on the RASCAR forum to avoid sniping from non-participants on RAS. Others argued RASCAR belongs to the newsgroup and its readers, while EldredP said airing league disputes publicly was causing problems.
Automated summary.

LOL, most of the discussion held here would be better held on the actual
forum

Yes, and I deliberately do not post it here. I'm not giving RAS the
satisfaction of sniping from the sidelines easily.
The races and how they run are the business of 20-odd people facing off
against eachother, not of the hundreds that sit on their arses and think
they're superior because they're not moved by the things they do.

That's the problem - It really *shouldn't* be...

We've reiterated time and time again the right of RASCAR to do all their
posting here and I've always supported you guys in this because RASCAR and
r.a.s. is the same. RASCAR is the racing event for people in r.a.s.
There should. IMHO, AAMOF not be another forum, there should be no necessity
for anyone participating in RASCAR to read anything else but r.a.s. to know
everything he wants to know about RASCAR and the events.

Maybe, but having discussions here causes a whole host of problems. From
adding bandwidth for people who aren't interested, to airing dirty laundry, to
people(non-participants) taking potshots.

In theory, I agree. In practice, it might not be worth it anymore...

I think you weren't referring to me when you said 'potshots', but I'd like
to assure you that my intention, however vain that may have been, was solely
to contribute my experience regarding the issue in question (clean driving).

I think it should be done here, because I download all the newsgroup posts
and read them offline. It's easier. So there.

I do as well. That's why I have a distaste for forums. But in this case I'd
just have to read the forum occasionally...

So far, so good, I'd say. Current trouble is not admin related, just some
latent annoyances which have surfaced due to the nature of the last two
races. It's good they get talked about.
