Anyone remember the great supercharger vs turbocharger debate a few years back? Those were the days. At least you haven't changed Sterling, you're still an *******. j/k

I agree though, the technical content has definately gone down hill. Hence why I can't be bothered posting much these days.

1; I was not calling for censorship I was asking for house cleaning. 5 threads on one topic is just dumb it takes away from some1s post who needs help trying to get their car started.
2: https://www.rx7club.com/lounge-192/all-guys-out-there-445196/ need I say more? This should get moved to the lounge.... thats all.

This is why I don't visit here much. Too much BS and other crap.
The mazspeed site is populated with guys who are way beyond the "normal" FB owner. If I ever need true help, that's where I go. After owning an RX-7 for 25 years, I don't need advice too often, but every once in a while. The nice thing about that site, it's populated with serious enthusiasts.
Don't get me wrong, this site has great value. And it is HUGE. So it contains a lot of great tech information when you look for it. But, you can just search for it, and not really ever have to post.

I merged 2 of them (yes I can do that) , thats my job. I didnt see the others.

[edit]
how does one become a mod anyways?
It seems to me that it happens every year. Probably something to do with the school year or something. Full moon maybe? I dunno. Some disappear, some lurk, some become active new members full of curiosity and questions, and some become well respected regulars, well regulars anyway.

Rx-7 owners throwing insults and ridiculing the end result of hard work put into an Rx-7?
On a ******* Rx-7 website?!

When our own long time resident Glazedham42 finally completed his long, long restoration he recieved 44 responces and 932 views.
Someone posts pictures of a NON-MEMBERS CAR, for the purposes of ridicule, and that thread yields 60 responses and 1,235 views.

There's "THE RULES", and then there's a certain unwritten forum etiquette, which we used to pride ourselves here in the FB section on having- that thing that separated us from the rest of the forum. We didn't cut on people or their cars for no reason, and when someone did, it was so rare that they always looked like an *******. It used to be anyone posted stupid ****, someone would respond by telling them to go to the lounge.
If someone announced that their project was done, we all applauded their efforts because at the very least, we knew another Rx-7 was saved.

It doesn't have to be all technical, but if you don't have something positive to add, then STFU. If you are posting your opinion, you don't need to rip the owner a new ******* just because you don't like his car. Not liking something is not a call for ridicule (Yes, kiddies, even if everyone else is doing it. )

If this is a "free" forum, and it's perfectly fine for people like that to give such opinions and treat other Rx-7 owners like that then it is also perfectly fine for me to do the same to those people.

This is exactly why I disappear from here for long clips at a time. Too much caffeine. It makes me so hyper I wanna reach through the screen and choke the **** outta someone.
Wow, that was awsome.

Anyway Im locking this. The rules are the rules. 1st gen related content stays, almost everything else goes. Moved or if its really inappropriate its deleted and action taken.

Thanks.
