meh... i've been around since before toymods was born... true it took me a few years to become a financial member but.... the toymods forum is a gift to the community at large. if it wasn't for knowledgable ppl passing down their experience, this would be just another assmunching forum about dorifto wannabes and sik bros in VL commondores etc etc... what pushes old timers away is the proliferation of morons who post anything and everything they think of, reply with crap when they don't actually know it to be true, and generally bring the level of technical content down. this is a TECHNICAL forum. the outhouse was set up to stop the drivel from invading and overrunning the technical sections of the forum, but then more and more ppl just join and ONLY post there... the non-members should be GRATEFUL that there is somewhere on the net they can ask technical questions and get accurate answers.... if you doubt this, go and ask tech Q's on hot 4's or boost crusin or whatever... how many of you were part of the world toyota-mods mailing list? that is the kind of technical content that we should aspire to, and do everything possible to protect. on the wannabe/noob thing... if a new person asks sensible questions, they will always get sensible answers.. on the new forum... if they post like a fucktard, they get what they deserve, although i would hope on the new forum that their posts are just deleted instead. were you a fucktard when you were a noob? or were you keen to learn and asked sensibe questions.. and listened to the answers? part of the aim of the new forum is to NOT have an atmosphere where 5 smilies constitutes a valid ontribution to the forum did that help?? no.. so you have a problem with the old forum and the new forum, and you don't want to be a part of it in future... i fail to see what the problem is then jk... if you are that sore about it.. start your own forum. seriously.... i started the (maybe) first old corolla specific forum many years ago (ok, well only 4 or 5) and that started a community of oldcorolla owners.... when toymods began it fostered a good toyota MODIFYING community.. just go and start your own forum and decide the kind of ppl you will allow to join.... it's a free world, forums can be set up online for free.... go ahead. i fail to se why the signup process should be loosened up for ppl who wish to remain anonymous. this is a COMMUNITY. for LIKE MINDED people... if you are not of the same opinion, then you are not part of that like-minded community.. deal with it and now we have non-toyota owners wanting to have a say in how the toyota forums are run? sheesh everyone just get over it.. either sign up or don't. if you have a specific issue, email the board. your life will not stop while you are waiting a couple of weeks for them to get back to you. be glad they even get back to you at all. thy are doing you a favour by contributing THEIR OWN TIME so you can post drivel [Updated on: Wed, 23 November 2005 14:31] [Report message to a moderator]
