I remember when you could get decent technical information on this site, and when new members weren't given a lot of poop. This used to be a very imformative, friendly place, now its gone to hell.
In the close to 3 years I've been reading these forums, the state of the forums right now has got to be the lowest point it's hit ever.
Call it whining if you like, I don't really care. All I'm saying is, this place has taken a nosedive recently.
You guys think the MK4 owners are bad, take a look in the mirror.
Heh, I can't complain myself, however, I wish and recommend people should take BS to e-mail or another form of communicating. As you say, and as with twinturbo dot n e t....this is for technical and questions to be asked, not flames. Everyone usually goes through the BS, but I got lucky when I came on here. I got welcomes and not go aways =] and I respect that from the forums very much so.
So, negative crap, bah! We all get it sometime or another. I honestly agree though, that dude needs to stop using the slang slash ebonics of typing and use something that everyone can understand and doesn't look like computer technical jargon (tehe)
Anyhow, damn car battery =[ and we'll all get along (no sense together as typed but it works for me in my situation
I have to say, i'm new to the vortex and i don't know how it used to be, but i find that i am able to get a lot more information out of this thing than i would have expected, and my questions are almost always answered thoroughly...sometimes i need to ask followup questions to milk info out of some people, but i usually get what i need to know http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
been here for awhile as well....... but I hardly ever post.....but... I have noticed this stuff usually happens in the mid winter but it seems to have hit earlier this year. some call it cabin fever..... in a couple of months things will start evening out with ideas and excitement for the new season of shows/autocrosses/GTG's........ just hold on tight.... kids will be kids but everyone usually comes around once again..
Why are people so cranky lately? There are some people that belong to this forum who joke around, and sometimes make rude comments. I'm willing to deal with that, and it seems like just about everyone else is too. You seem to be an exception. While I understand where you're coming from, I have no sympathy for people who can't simply ignore a rude comment, or take a joke. I'll say the same thing I did to the last person who posted a sob story - grow up, or go elsewhere.
It still is informative, but same questions get asked over and over. 90% of the time you can find the answer by searching. When I see a question that I can answer I answer it other wise I dont post and leave the smart ass remarks to the post whores.

Whining does make it worse though.
The tech stuff is over in the specific motor forums.. the BS is here.. I agree it's gone for a crap lately, it's either people who just come on here to flame, or newbies who act like they are gods of euro etc, or whatever.. but you gotta keep faith in the forums if you want it to get better or I guarantee you they will continue their downward spiral. People snapping at other people is a healthy part of the recovery process. Basically this is how it works: Newbies and flamers kick in, everyone fights, bad ones are weeded out, and Vortex is ok again. But if you lose hope, forget it.
