Slug-lines.com has turned into a freakin joke! [:(!]
Although this website provides some very useful tools to slugs, I found that a lot of tips USED to come from the Message Board. NOT ANYMORE! The only thing the Message Board provides now is egotistical "members" that care more about the number of posts they have than providing valuable information. I find this very sad. [V] With the gas prices rising, I have met many newbies in the line and most of them have a lot of questions. I find myself trying to give them all of the information I can without referring them to this website. Slugging is just as beneficial to the drivers as it is to riders and with the animosity on this website, I feel that eventually the system will suffer. [V] |

How Ironic that you actually posted this and contributed to the madness....
This site is still very helpful when it wants to be, I think the high gas prices, and noxious fumes from dirtier fuel is making people crazy... |

The problem is that there are way too many trolls on this board.

quote: Dhacim, It has been quite some time since my last post. This is because I could see how out of control these posts were becoming and did not feel a need to participate. However, I logged on this afternoon and was dissappointed to see that it had not gotten any better. I was hoping that some people would see how much damage they are doing to the slug system and maybe think twice about the garbage they put out here. Apparently, that was a mistake! Forgive me for sharing my opinion (I thought that opinions were welcome here). As for you, you did it! You must be so proud. One more post for you! I believe you have all the red stars you can get????? |

I think this site is still helpful aside from the message board......lately the messages have been more entertaining than informative, but every once in a while there are innocent questions answered. [8)]

As one participates in the activity commonly called slugging, one becomes more aware of what is needed/expected to get from one point to another and then back again. The need for information that this site provides thereby decreases and thus one need not reference it as much.
There is plenty of GOOD information for beginning slugs on the site. Just have them avoid the message board since like all internet forums of this nature, they all seem to run towards our baser instincts. If one merely types in http://www.slug-lines.com/ , one is presented with a very nice, simple page from which to start gathering useful information. Message Board is only one selections on this page. Thanks for venting though! We needed that refresher today. It is dreary and gray... NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care! |

N or S has a good point. If you stay off the forum, the web site is ok. Unless one likes to listen people whine and complain, then they'd be perfect for the forum.
