Some of the BASICS

Just a few questions to ask about forum usage here:

1. What is a recommended/heavily used image hosting site?

2. Can I edit my title? The title that shows under your name? (moderators show moderator or some variation)

3. Are the moderators very strict? NASIOC was very lax. I'd like to know what to expect for future posts.

Thanks for all the help. Happy Wrenching

This is so you don't post anything that is not related or pertinent to the subject or Section.
You are only seeing "your Side" of things and if you had to clean up Posts and threads that made absolutely no sense in either aspect you would be Thanking the Forum for making Members read RULES.
The only "Big Rule" is : use common Sense,but that sometimes gets misplaced when posting..That is why you have rules,and staff.

Did anyone force you to Buy your car,register on the forum? Complaints are usually by individuals that can't abide the rules set out by the club.

Honestly,not Harsh rules,Be respectful,no Posting garbage and if you can help other,feel free to do so.
If you need help it is there,just ask.

It's great that you want to get info.It's a Car forum and that is what the forum is about.
If Guys pop in and just buy parts,then what happens to the Forum?..It becomes..EBAY..
Since they have a site,we don't need to become a Seller's market.
The Classifieds?..It's for Members, not the "get parts/fix up/sell quick/move on" type of Guy.If you somehow fall into that category then you wont like the Minimum post Requirements..That is why is it There.
Parts are becoming rare,so why should "johnny fix it and dump it" get to buy parts on here when a Guy that is a dedicated member,who needs that part, has it Scooped by a "newbie" who just wants to make a buck and doesn't care if the Forum is ever there tomorrow?
I'm not inferring that you fall into that Category but if you are a "true Rx7 Enthusiast" then you would respect the place that gives you the info you need and respect it's Policies,even though they may not work For you.
It seems to work for the other 100 Thousand Members.
That is just the way it is..

By the way,I tried to ask an RX7 question on Ebay ...I Got nothing... I heard they Don't like car guys going on there asking Car questions..That sucks..they should be arrested.

Thanks for the info. The post count thing isn't too bad. It gets the job done.

Yeah, I can see forum rules being necessary...such a large forum would get pretty sloppy if there wasn't a beefy structure in place. Makes sense.

As far as videos go, I'd go for Vimeo, and for pictures Flickr is pretty good...you can get pretty hi-res stuff on there if that's what you're into!
