Lightbulb Calling All Team Anthracite Members!!

Since our inceptions, numerous teams have followed suit and organized.

Team Nighthawk for example has a really nice Web Page.

For us to remain the most powerful TL team on the web, we need a web site too. Is there an Anthracitians out there that can put together a similar web page that would act as the organization chart for Team Anthracite?

PM me and I will send you the team list.

Also, I would like to add 10 new members in the next week, so please sign up if you havn't already done so!

Mike Smeezy,

Vffr- I've got a friend whose checked out the Nighthawk page. He says there's no security and he can hack it very easily, so if you give me a list of the usernames and a few images I'll get our site built for us asap. Just keep it quiet as I wouldn't want those black folks getting upset or anything. BJ

boltjames--you have issues. Why would you want to hack someone elses page? No originalilty?? Also if you wanted to keep it quiet you should not have posted it on an open forum...or are you trying to let your true colors show like the racial comments you made on a previous post about black men driving TLs being rare. If you also read your quote up above you talk about "those black folks" that again could be taken 2 ways (black as in persons color or car color).... :rocketwho

Might as well just save the page in IE and then just change the HTML code. If that is what he calls hacking then, that is the easiest solution.

I also want to join the team. I will come up with a snappy title at some point. I think that the webpage is a great idea and would be happy to help out with any scripting issues, though I don't really have the time to host and/or write the whole thing.

Hacking the others team's web is not a good idea, in any form. We are all TL owners and just because someone has a different color car doesn't mean that they deserve our ridicule. We got the color that we liked and they got what appealed to them the most.

Looking forward to sharing pics and ideas with all of the Team Anthracite members!

Stealing one's hard work isn't hacking...it's just stealing! So, if Team Anthracite wants to be associated with thiefs go ahead and use James' idea.

Mr. Boltjames,

Your comments are unbecoming of a Team Anthracite member. Please refrain from any comment that could be taken as racial and also “we won't be stealing anything from anybody.”

I have sent you a PM on this matter. A sincere apology is in order to both Team Nighthawk and anyone who was offended by your "back" comment.

As Team Anthracite President, “I am sorry” for the comments made by one of my members (Boltjames), they were uncalled, disturbing, and lacked style and class.

I have been away for a little bit (though I did catch the other comment from BJ), so I may be mistaken when I say that I took the comments above as being in jest. If he is in fact making racial remarks and was serious about stealing the website, then I am in no way defending him. It is very easy to take things out of context here, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt unless I am proven wrong.

Just my $0.01 (I'm Jewish, so I kept the other $0.01 for myself - and yes, I really am Jewish :p)

Wow! With Xerxes480 that’s 7 New Members in less than 24 hours!

Hopefully we can get one of our members to get a web page up so we can post photos and see the organization chart.

PS. Remember, you need to change out "Registered User" to "Team Anthracite Member" or use your title if one has been approved.

IMHO, you need to get a life. Who do you think you are sending PM's and suggesting how people should act. Is your "presidential" power going to your head already? Who elected you anything anyway? Wasn't it just that you came up with the idea, and was first to take the title, or were you actually voted a president on by all Anthracite owners?

Being politically correct is dumb to begin with, but you my friend are taking yourself way to seriously.

Mariquis,

Thank you so much and Welcome!

We would like to have something simular to Team Nighthawks web page, have you seen it?

Also please contact fellow Anthracitian "Joeeder" he states he can do the scripting (what the hell is that?) so maybe you can pick up after that.

After the page is up, I think we can live with one update per month.

Thanks for you help, and welcome to Team Anthracite... "The powerful TL Team on the Web"

Like you said, it's "My" team, if you don't like it you can eat dirt, join or start you own team!

If you cant' play nice and not disrepect others, then I don't want you connected to "what I put together"

If marquis does web design for a living, then I am sure that whatever scripting abilities I have pale in comparison to his. But, I can always lend some SQL advice and have some good Flash resources if we wanted to put up something really spiffy.

Mike Smeezy,
Mike, with all due respect, I like my current title. As you might be able to tell from my user name, I don't mind making fun of myself (or others if they like), nor do I take it seriously. That was the title I suggested in the original thread and I would like to keep it. It seemed like the whole Team Anthracite thing was kind of tongue-in-cheek at the time, so it seemed appropriate to continue that. If this is actually turning into some true hierarchy, then I will gladly switch to an inactive member, since I have no intention of getting rid of my car

Moeronn,

You bring up some really good points, please feel free to list your title. This is all mostly to have fun and bond, that's it! You seems like your having fun :toothless.

Mike Smeezy,

Where's my Head of Security?
Join or start my own team? :lol2:

I, unlike you apparently have a fulfilling life, and don't need to start a "team" based on my cars color. :lol2:
Nor do I need to anoint myself a president of said "team" to make up for any personality flaws or inadequacies, then proceed to tell other people how to speak and conduct themselves. If you want to play silly games, be my guest, but get a clue.

What the guy said was perfectly fine, and he doesn't need you coming in with your delusions of grandeur telling him what to do.

I have nothing against you personally, but wanted to express my point of view concerning your pomposity earlier. Hopefully we will not irritate each other in the future.
