I agree! You just hit the nail square on the head. Couldn't be better said.

 

It is rare where a search doesn't answer my question. At the least, it helps you ask more clearly so you indeed get a response meaningful to your need.

 

k. thanks for sharing your opinion, but I don't agree with you.

I don't know how much you've learned about this forum from the 16 posts and few days that you've been around, but hang around some more and pay attention to what's what before throwing a fit.

btw, rx7mcd is teh

 

bah. This place is been so dull lately, I'm tempted to hijack my own thread. btw, what's the best 24 hour joint around downtown. I'm getting hungry.

 

7-11
sushi and slurpy

 

RAMEN!! they close a 3am though

 

I understand that you don't agree, you made that very clear, but same stuff happened in a 240sx club and they were real jerks about the forums and they would moaned about every little question someone had and so I stopped posting, but I can tell its different here because everyone doesn't say use the search every time someone posted a question and its cool everyone is really friendly about the posts. Yea i havn't learned everything that's why I'm new but just finally decided to get my point across about people complaining about repeated questions. BTW I plan to stick around

 

noobs, noobs, noobs. That is just such a tired word, it makes the board look like it is inhabited by 12 year olds. I visit another automotive forum that is in no direct competition to this one, and I wont say what it is unless you really want to know. I've seen posts deleted because of other boards mentioned (which is childish).
This policy of telling people to search does not exist on this other forum, it is a pleasant place to be, and things are always fresh, even when the same subjects come around. I know both sides, I've used the internet for far too long, I know what works. Telling people to search isn't going to put an end to people who keep asking the same question. You cannot do anything about it, so the best thing to do is just either not answer the question or let other helpful people reply, which does work. Don't assume the same answers will be repeated by the same questions, something new can come along.

 

Sorry, but you're wrong. If there are only a handful of rotary shops in this state, then you get the same answers EVERY time the question is asked. Posting things like this thread do work. How do I know that it works? Because a post like this made me do my searches before asking questions when I was a noob.

People don't think that anyone listens to these posts because the ones that do don't come around posting about how they did a search. They just do searches. The ones that are vocal are the ones that don't want to do searches.

btw, rx7mcd... I've seen your other posts. You do your research before asking questions. I totally dig that. I don't care if someone asks a question that's been asked before. I'm just saying that they should take some effort to find some answers themselves before asking a group of people to give the answers to them.

I'm just saying to have some courtesy to the people that have been around for YEARS and answering the same question for YEARS. If you MUST ask, make sure that it's not something that's EASILY found through a search. Just so you guys know, I used to be one of those people that didn't care, but seriously, it gets REALLY old. And, no, you can't just ignore them. I can't explain why, but they just really stand out.

Last thing for the noobs that are bellyaching about how immature some people are. Guess what, this is the West Region. It's become a lot friendlier, but this is definitely NOT a noob friendly place. If you can survive long enough to become part of the West, you'll make some incredibly loyal friends. If not, we'll continue being jerks without you.

 

Ramen where? If it's where you live, no thanks. It's too freaking far. btw, I ended up eating Del Taco.

 

I don't understand why people are being told to do a search in the west section. There really isn't any useful information here

 

Pshaw....take a smoke break LOL! Jk....Indeed....people need to conduct a damn soych...shoot...google if you have to. It's not that hard.

New man law...if you can't do a soych....you shouldn't own a 7. Man Law!

 

Of course there are useful info here....like FD sightings. heehehehe.

 

Of course there are useful info here....like FC sightings. heehehehe

 

whoo hooo 1 month of no smoking!!

 

you or the Mazda?

 

^^ Notice that the noob hasn't learned anything... he asked his question because he didn't know how to find the answer himself. Unless you've told him HOW to use the search function properly, you haven't done him much of a service. The best solution I've seen is to create a thorough FAQ page, then you can just link to that whenever a repetitive question is asked.


For instance, look at the 3rd Gen forum lately. The FAQ is pretty thorough, and repetitive questions get pointed there and closed.

Fumanchu is a cop everyone!!!!

Rookie! I quit cold Turkey almost 20 years ago.

 

 

Im too lazy to "SEARCH." can someone tell me what the hell is going on again?

thanks mang!!

 

I quit months ago, but it's only been a few days since I had a smoke.

Can we open up my "I quit smoking thread again"?

 

You have not earned the right to use that smiley. You have to had "Stopped" smoking for atleast 1 year. Since I have for almost 20 I get to use this one.
