ha!!
i’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is not a tech forum. There is too broad a stroke. People do not come here for app specific 1st tier discussions on theory or implementation.
I assume that You all realize that Your traffic will slow, which will bring the “tech people” and “worthy posters” around here less and less often, in turn devaluing the idea of the 90% tech forum. Wonderful cycle. Seenit happen a few times. But, then again, I hear that not everything that I read on the internets is true.
Apply ourselves in Gen Auto You say? Okay, maybe I should really give my comment on threads like “Outback vs a TDi”; “Who can balance wheels around here”; “WHAT A BEAST - Ebay link”; or best of all “What i did while valet parking this truck…”
oh, how about tech threads like: “Battery Relocation”; “What kind of injectors are these”; “Engine Cleaning”; or the all inclusive “Discuss: Brake Boosting”

This is an area to post YOUR videos. Auto-x, Drag Racing (legal), and Road racing. So all you locals with real race footage of yourselves, post away. This would also be a good area to post those fast 1/4 mile times from Lancaster, NYIRP, etc. Then you can easily link them to your user profile timeslip info
Videos of other motorsports related activity (i.e. Aryton Senna driving an NSX @ Suzuka), can remain in the regular motorsports forum.
Have at it :tspry:

Maybe some of you don’t understand:
MOTORSPORTS RELATED VIDEOS ONLY!!!
As of today: If I see one more street racing video in the motorsports section, I will ban you. No I will not “warn” you. Read the guidelines before you hit the new thread button.

This guy should be planting trees in the forest for a week in thankful gratitude for saving his ass.
Again, good luck, I hope that You find true direction with NYSpeed. I’d love for a small, local, non-specifc, all application internet forum to grow into a universally respected 1st tier cutting edge tech forum.
Off topic brings traffic, just like sex sells. But You try to keep sex out of the grade schools.
oh, and IBBannage.

i couldn’t agree more…
Seen it work on other forums I’ve been on, should help with postwhoring at the most. That is about it though.
A lot of us have been on automotive forums for awhile now. Basically most of our questions have already been asked and answered. If we do not participate in the offtopic forums, we will all just sit around and wait for the newbies to come in and help them out.
Karma was a good thing,I do miss reading the comments as some of them would make my day.
cool
i think i only dropped like 50-70
NIKUK- it is an automotive forum, if u dont like the topic of the thread, then dont click on it. Not everyone who is on here is a automotive savy. Alot of us have stupid questions, you are right, but that does not mean that we cant post a thread to awnser them(as long as we search first). As for stupid ebay posts, i kind of agree with you, a lof off em are stupid but its up to the mods whether or not to put em in gen auto or offtopic. I beleive tho, that a lot of ppl come here because they have no place to go with their stupid questions. Most of us dont work at shops, or were engineering majors, or grew up with a wrench in hand. we have basic automorive knowledge and we need a place to clarify specific questions. Most of us thought that the posts about engine cleaning rocked. Shit, i didnt even realize u can get an engine bay that clean. And i am the one who posted about the injectors. I needed some info on them so i posted to see if anyone else did(btw: they are stock honda injectors, i figured that out). Don’t flame newbs who need some quick questions answered, its fucked up, and if ppl are just gonna flame about asking auto related questions then i think they should be banned.
It is my strong opinion that ANYTHING(and i mean anything) having to do with cars(which i realize is very broad) should be allowed here, and if the mods do not feel that is right then they should come out and say that in a very coherent way so that they rest of us may know. once again, thanks for letting me put in my 2 cents.
+1 for me.
stupid asses thought i was just an OT whore, you aint seen nothin yet.
o man i suck
You ENTIRELY missed my point.
if u post to raise ur count /urslef
seemed as if u were bagging on some of the things ppl choose to post about
me? i just like ot give skunk a hard time
:lmfao:
I wish it showed both OT and on topic
I like to read stuff once in a while. I dont post much – hence I dont care about my post count!!!
wat about member number? just curious y we dont have that
The only thing I liked about the way the post count used to be was that you knew how active the person was on the forum. If you knew the person was there all the time, you would know they would probably be able to help out sometime or might be a better seller in classifieds.
