There are dozens more. I haven't found anyone here to be a blatant asshole yet (though I might have fit into that category already.. whoops lol)

Merkursport, Clubwrx, 3Gwrx.. all forums I'm on and have perceived the same "slide" in character and quality. I say perceived because it may not be literal but it really does look that way. Who knows for sure.

ahhh! peoples just wanna have fun!

Oh wow, I didn't recognize your new avatar.

I'll always think of 米 when I see your name now.

This forum has been around long enough that most, if not all, topics have been discussed at one time or another. As it happens, we get new members who haven't been aware of previous conversations and they will ask questions that have been talked about before and the next thing you know is they're being shot down for not doing a search. If we used the search feature the same way we use Google that would pretty much be the end of new postings and this forum would dry up pretty fast.

But...they don't seem to get that.

Agreed... Searching is good, but it doesn't always provide up to date information. People's opinions change, new people join and learn, new solutions/fixes/TSBs are found and posted about in different threads. If someone is "new", It can be frustrating to come up with the right key word/phrase to generate the answers they're looking for. What might make perfect sense to those that have been here a while (and seen it over and over) could look pretty fragmented to someone who hasn't.

More here lol

I'm new to forums and like most people I didn't know how to search until I just figured out for myself. Why not make a thread, or "sticky" that shows how to search for topics (unless it already exists lol...). An example would be something along the lines of "DIY oil change BRZ/FRS ft86club.com".

Again just a thought.

[jstans84]

I'm just going to throw this out there but I'm pretty sure this thread already exists. You should really next time.




Hahaha just kidding but I am a sarcastic asshole I will admit that freely.

It doesn't work. I made one over at GenCoupe and people still ignore it.

Also, this sort of thing with forums just tends to happen. And then this, from Penny Arcade.

But I'm continually surprised by the civil and generally kind responses that people give in threads that would normally (in other car forums I used to be a part of) generate all sorts of bashing or hate or mockery.

Just mention the word Scion if you want to see the negative people come out.
