there used to be a cool wall section in the forum, but most people didnt really get the point of if, and since it is a cool wall not a "i like or dislike" wall, the section got removed. because of the previous fact a lot of the "frequent" users didnt see the point of it, just a bunch of "useless" threads + appearantly it was a pain in the ass to moderate, so viper and the mods decided to get rid of it.

IIRC there was a pretty long thread about weather it should stay or not, which was in the "forum" part of the forum maybe you can look that up.

True, there isn't much to discuss about the placings. The thing is, there's not much to discuss about the Lap Times either for example. All they're doing there is correctiong faults and collecting new entrys.

And that is what we could do here. Collect motivations and dates for example. I would, for example, like to know what the heck the StreetKa is doing in the Sub-Zero section?

Another Idea I've got is that we could make our own Cool Wall, but that would require some more organisation, and another thread.

oh, than i misunderstood your original idea. my post was directed at explaining why our own cool wall disappeared

I've had the same idea - but I could see the thread just becoming full of pointless argument with people saying "But the Enzo's soooo fast, it has to be cool" etc, and the whole thing just ending in a mess.

But having said that, I'm all up for giving it a try

We had one several months ago and..ahh...it was a failier cos people would mainly spam the threads and there were way to many threads to keep track of
