2nd gen mods

Not to be an *** or anything but is it me or are the moderators over in the second gen forum **** retentive? I realize it is irritating to answer and reanswer questions but the number of closed threads over there is rediculous.

I geuss it could be that the second gen guys are less helpful overall as well... not sure I don't spend enough time over there.

Sorry for the bitching just find that irritating.

PS I guess I'm easily irritated right now as there has been too much stress here... sick fam and all

Heh, this should probably be in the lounge....
However, I think the real problem there is that A LOT of new FC owners are popping up over there, and they all seem to be complete tards about things. Ive seen a few threads there asking how to replace an air filter, and really basic stuff that is covered in the FAQ.

I know they've been getting really agressive about it though lately, but I think that its legit. I see multiple threads about how do I get such and such horsepower, and just a lot of really stupid *** threads over there.

I know that they should post help/advice, and then tell you to search or look at the FAQ, but thats just adding to the multiple posts and just making a lot of useless, duplicate threads, etc.

I try to post advice, or where they can go to get their answer, and then tell them to search or read the FAQ. I mean, people really need to use common sense and use the SEARCH function, not just post first. You should research first, then make an informed question before posting, that way you have some idea of what your asking.

All in all, I stay away from the dumb *** threads that ask like "how do I turn my car on?" or things of that level. Also, the FC guys are getting hit hard in the FS section with a lot of young guys bitching about Turbo II prices and FC prices in general because they think that they should only cost like $500 or that FC guys should trade modded to hell Turbo II for Ford Contours....

Just be thankfull its not going on here in the first gen. section!!

yea, I agree with the $500 for high mileage/blow motor N/A. However, I was referring to the guys low-balling everyone and then when they get the price down some, they don't come through because they never had any cash in the first place.
