Loud thinking.........., ........................................ Options

[doGGy]

thought alot today, cuz im having kinda strange feeling when i come here on 6gc....

Some of people here are from the way way back, oldschoolers, some are newly registered, some are middle age members here. Still all of us are 6GC owners.

Its kinda strange, but for me actually it was WAY WAY more fun to open 6gc.net page 3 years ago (oh god, its already 3+ years im a everyday member here), when here was only a few of us. It was way more fun to see all the new parts / project / how to's and etc.. Dunno what happend, but its getting kinda strange to keep mouth shut then you see all the same Q's, same stuff floating around, and same stupid replay's saying nothing but the same misinformation sometimes... Dunno what happend but in the back days there was way more of people Like Coomer / Manny / Art / Kwanza (sorry dunno the name ) / 97Stcelica / Zipstrip and other fews i cant remeber nicks / names clearly...... It was good to write a question and get the answer and know what the answer you got is 90% atleast corect... And now.... sometime i dont even bother to question somthing, i rather ask on AIM, cuz most of the replays you get turn into a flame war, or into a stupid mind loud thinking.... Kinda strange, then most of guys here post loud contemplation instead of posting good info.... I dunno, maybe this is the people nature? Some just say - sorry, i aint know what you are asking, some start with huh/ Maybe this/ maybe that stuff/ some are pointing the statment even if it is 100% incorect...

Its kinda strange then people dont say the truth straight, i know its hard to admit if the truth is shooted straight in your eyes, but it is better then somthing saying that you aint felling or seeing... Even if someone says this straight in the eyes - he becomes a BAD BAD person for saying this.... As for example - SlowCelica (sorry that i took you as example ), but most of the time he shoots out what he thinks / sees , he aint covering like most of people here do. he is dab (offcorse he done other stupid things, but we all do them in life )....

I dunno, i did lots of things in real life on my Celica, and on some of them, i aint posted any How-to's or aint told anyone how to make them, just cuz i spent countles hours developing them, tryed lots of different aproches and its kinda hard sometimes to let this information go... And im becoming more and more bad for not letting everybody to know the stuff i know? Some people starting to act strange then i tell them - sorry i CANT tell you this....

Dunno what happend to the comunity, in my point of view, there are lots of faknes around here... but this is just my point of view.... Had to let this all go, so sorry for might be stupid thought and for mistakes, but this comunity gave me a lot of things i do have now and lots of knowledge, and i do respect lots of guys here.

romas, i totally hear you.
i agree, and i also think that we could all "step up our game" so to speak.
this site is only as good as we make it, the information that is here is from what we make it.
i also agree with what your saying about the flaming, and needless posts that have been going on for WAY too long...that kinda stuff really needs to stop, and i think some of that is up to us(the mods) to control.
but, i also think there are quite a few members that 90% of the time just start typing without thinking about what theyre saying, just trying to "stir up the sh*t" so-to-speak. and those are the kind of people that ruin the site for the rest of us, cause when you DO post somthing usefull, or somthing unique, it either sinks to the bottom and goes over everyones head, or turns into a big flame war.
its like people cannot talk about things rationally, without flaming, or spouting out usless "i think" and "i heard" comments about how this sucks, or how the person above them talks trash, blah blah blah.
when it comes down to it, its all generic highschool-type bickering that i think we'd ALL agree is just childish.
one thing i think alot of the more active members of this site fail to realize is how much of an impact they can actually have on this site.
we all complain about how its all the same things, posted over and over, and how noone uses the search button, but i dont see many people doing anything about it. its up to US to make this site what it is.
i know that there are LOTS of things on this site that everyone talks about everyday, all the time, and noone posts solid info for it.
swaps, turbos, suspension, bodywork...we should have ALL this stuff covered, in detail, by now, with the people we have here.
there are PLEANTY of people here that know enough about these things to have good, solid disscusion at ANYTIME in any forum about basicly anything in the car, alot of us just choose not to, for whatever the reason may be.
its like noone will take the time to explain anything to anyone, just point the finger and say, here, go find it.
that would be fine, if we had a solid base to work with.
but we need to CREATE that base.
there are LOTS of people on the site that dont really know much about cars, hell i was one of them at one time, and i think its up to us to try and educate and help out the people that dont know as much about the car to learn.
if we all help each other to learn more about the car, and how it works, the whole community grows, and i think that should be our main goal.
its up to us to make this site, what we post becomes what the site is, good and bad.
i think alot of people here forget that.
i think its up to us, as a community to bring up the quality of the posts, ect, if we want it, its up to US to make it happen.
i could go on and on about it for DAYS, romas,
needless to say, i feel ya.
lol
hopfully we can all work together to make this site better than it ever has been.
