need to rant!!!!
preach on brother!!!!!
as for the mods, i think that if there were 2 mods for each section of the site things would be much better. i am talking about active mods that want to see this site grow to something better and are willing to spend some time cleaning this place up a bit.

Well, not everyone reads the board every day.
Some of us have lives.
In fact, I've never seen any of those questions asked on the main board. Mostly it's just people complaining about their dealers and Mitsubishi.

i know some of you will think that i am crying and *****ing but i don't care. the reason i started this thread is because i am getting sick and tired of seeing the exact same threads over and over again. everyday, a new guy comes on and asks the exact same question without searching first which in turn causes multiple threads about the same thing. everday that i log on i see the same questions on the front page:
"what can i do to make my car faster?"
" which BOV is the best for the EVO?"
"which exahust is better x or y?"
what kind of x do i need to get for the EVO?"
come on people, all you do with those questions is slowing down the site and making it harder on the rest of us to find usefull information. i am the first one to try to help people with questions but it is getting real annoying to say the same thing over and over. is it really that hard to use the search botton???? it works magic for me.
sorry for the long rant

Check out this board. www.nsxprime.com I think it has a nice layout and has pretty much everything you need.

THis site could use a reorg with content and tech articles being mainstage and forum being secondary. Or maybe, the site is just the way Mark wants it to be. Whatever the case, I don't come here looking for friends or enemies. I come here for the content, which seems to be going downhill. Facts/How to's should be permanent pieces and should not have to be searched through posts for. The reason that the attitudes has increased is because there is a different audience out there, since the Evo has arrived. The site as it stands is a low maintenance site. To accomodate the things I mentioned and as others have to, would take more maintenance. There has to be a happy median somewhere. Nuff said.

i have to agree with bill
check out www.s2ki.com and check out their forums... they have a nice report with one another and they get along, they don't burn eachother for mods that they don't like
this place is filled with babies, but i just come here to find updates and new stuff i can get for my car
evom has a long way to go to becoming a good place to post
people here are just immature

This is the kind of forum that I'm used to www.euroteknik.com where every1 gets along and give POSITIVE feedback and comments to members.
Wow, this thread grew!
Only you can control how you will interact with someone else. I think this is key to this issue because it is how we act toward one another that determines how we interprt how others act toward us. (that sounds all intellegent right... not sure what it means but it made sense when I typed it)
As for the trolls on these boards they will always act the way that makes them trolls. I think that it is up to the moderators to ban them. And ban them they should.
As for what I will do when confronted by someone who wants to flame my post for no reason; I will prefer to think that they are sad short fat guys with small baby dicks who have issues and want to screw their mothers. I don't tell them that, because that would make me get angry and I don't come off as whitty when I am angry... I'll just pity them. Nine times out of ten all a troll wants is attention... So if you just ignore them they tend to go away... it all goes back to the baby dicks.
I don't think that adding moderators is the right answer though. I think that there should be a general agreement by all members on this board that they will act with maturity and, I hate to use such a fluff phrase but, kindness toward one another.
Within reason... some people do need to be put in their place. Excessive violators of not doing a search should most definetly be kicked in the proverbial groin.
Anywho, I'm going to bed... I have a Geology lab in the morning and I got a date with some rock salt.

PS- I apologize for the spelling errors in my post as I didn't take the time to read it.

i agree in part with this thread.
but i guess you people dont understand that those people are out there. the 'immature','whiney' etc. etc. people. theyre out theyre. and perhaps own a mitsubishi. you will never be able to shake them.
i hate the reposts and stupid threads just as much as the other person. but what are you gonna do?!
i honestly dont think this thread should have been started unless you had some sort of solution.
and in NO WAY am i trying to be a dick or mean.
but those people are out there and youre just gonna have to deal with them. id hate to see this site go down the ****ter, but its up the the GOOD members to keep it above water.
Ive been a member for over a year and it used to be real tight knit. but you cant expect that with a rapidly growing site.

who cares...in a hundred years none of us will be here and thousands of other Evo 108 owners will still be acting like a-holes and complaining about their forum. be happy you wake up tomorrow and can get in your Evo, crank the seat back adjuster forward like you are on an R-1 and drive to your jobs so you can put that 93 in the tank. I'm 18...goodnite
