My first post, please read.

[xstuntman]

I will now post everything i can think of without ever using the search function and i will do so without wearing a mask while farting in your general direction hourly too.

Anything else you wanna get off your chest?

how to win friends aye.
i had my own hifi forum for a few years..gave it up in the end. amazing how many utter losers there are out there with zero lives outside the internet. quite scary in fact.
if you dont like what you read here then dont read it..aint rocket science is it aye

OP, I'm sorry that since joining in April you're tired of the same threads, but most of these people posting some duplicate threads are only one of two time offenders of that "infraction". Yes if someone joins and immediately starts a "what cold air intake", "which headers", "what's the best catback", "dyno tune or handheld", "do I need a tune with ___ mods", etc. all rapid fire (it's happened in the past) someone will call them out of the search function. However, like Athletics101 said, if we don't keep asking questions the forum dies. Sometimes there's new info that hasn't been discussed before and a new thread brings that to light. Sometimes there's new products that weren't out 8 years ago that are out now and sometimes the products that were are now gone.

Newbies, if you can't find it ask it. I'll answer a "Which header is best" thread over and over again with an objective response and my personal preference. I'm ALWAYS up for talking about my car and why I came to the decisions to modify it the way I have.

So you make one that is just completely useless in any capacity instead? Sure, that makes sense


Easy enough to pass up a post you have no interest in. But as someone planning to keep their car long-haul, I would just as soon see these forums alive and active vs dying off because "everything has been discussed" already.

Well I sincerely apologize if I offended anyone, that was not my intention. There is just so much good information here worth taking some time to dig through.

[silversleeper]

I agree. Even if they posted it on an old thread then all the info could be seen at one go. It makes it even harder to search when there are a dozen incomplete threads on the same topic.

I can follow the frustration with seeing the same questions over and over again - often times people really don't make any use of the search function and so we get a lot of broken record stuff. Step one should always be search, and it's probably already been asked (many times) before.

If you find some answers, but it doesn't resolve the your question, I love good discussion and lots of good technical information, and oftentimes a rehash of a topic is good and valuable.

I don't have a solution to suggest here - but I would love to see a better way for collecting, categorizing, and archiving good information. We do that with stickies to some extent - maybe it's just a more robust version of that with better cataloging to make it easier to use.

I see the same posts multiple times yes. I just don't respond if it's one i've responded to multiple times. It keeps the forum alive though so it isn't a bad thing.

I've done most of my boltons by asking members opinions that have done what I'm looking at doing. That covers 8 years of being here and owning my Camaro.

I agree. I've been a member for four years and I'll continue to ask/answer questions no matter how many times they've been asked. Much of the advice on here is opinions and the other part facts. There are multiple ways to complete the same tasks, what worked for one, may not work for another and so on.

The Go Pro cam is a nice unit. You can take pictures of your catch can, blend door and broken AFM lifter failures.
