Thread: New Member Confused

Tweet

In my Case, I am tired of the 'Net Bullying (not so much here, but there is one...) so, I simply choose to not participate-

Personally, I had a lot of fulfilling fun from 2003-09 or so, and my greatest joy was helping someone else-now, you try to help and run for cover, hoping that somehow the person you were trying to help actually got something out of your information, before you get chastised for your opinion-I know of many people who have just checked out because of it-this place does it the least I've seen, so you have picked one of the better sites-

I guess it's just human nature-

Idk if I should say that that is fortunate or unfortunate lol because this site has less bullying or that it is unfortunate that you are too nervous to post because people are so quick to criticize and be rude... I just try to respond to those comments with a positive attitude and just know that there are other people out the who will and do benefit from your posts, one thing I've learned is to def not be afraid to express your own opinion, and yes there will for sure be people who don't like it lol, thanks for the reposnse !

I've seen many a post from you helping others, and, it's a shame if you feel like not participating because your hot rod is just so BAD ASS!

There's much I can learn from you! One of my friends here feels much like you. I always tell him "we" can offer our opinions only, it is up to the original poster to decide how to handle that information. When others disagree with my opinion, I can only accept that opinions are like ...um ... bellybuttons, we all have one. And it's okay that we don't always see eye to eye, we aren't supposed to!

Sorry to the O.P. for the diversion.. back to the program!

I don't think there was a diversion here at all just because the reposnses are bringing recent activity and if part of the reason as to why not many people have recent build logs or as to why many tech threads are not recent don't have a lot of responses is because people feel intimidated to post their opinions then I would say we are defenitely on the same page. Everyone has a right to their opinion and if one is offering help on a particular subject then like you said, it is up to the poster to decide how to handle it. I like that, and I think this forum is excellent.

What some of these other site forums don't understand is that there is more than one way of doing things. Hence, you try to help a guy (on one of these other forums) and somone gets on there and chastises and tells you that you're all wrong (simply because you're way is different than his when it really does come down to it, or maybe even that person does not know what they're talking about). Perfect example might be on 'how to set valve lash,' because there are varying ways. Other than club hotrod, I'm only active on one other forum. I like this site as the members are highly knowledgeable and i want to soak up as much as I can from them as like my dad says, 'they've been down the road you're on.'

I, just like others on this forum, am a member of other forums though I generally frequent this one and another one regularly. The other one which is administered by some folks north of the border has some very knowledgeable folks, but their format sucks and I believe they have almost as many moderators, including a "global moderator", as they have members. And don't make the mistake of posting in the wrong forum as that will get you "flamed" immediately by one of the moderators, they are a bit anal to say the least. The one thing they have in common are no political subjects which is the way it should be. I do believe the other forum caters more to the younger crowd and more current vehicles and they have their share of "internet professors" which is tolerable to a degree.
The best thing about this forum is that the moderator, Mr. Mustang, doesn't get involved unless it's absolutely necessary and that can't be said of the other site. This site also has a couple of real true to life engine builders and first class body men and a couple that have built more cars and have probably forgotten more than most of us will ever know.
I hope you enjoy your time here Capecreations21.

Well that is excellent to hear, I am only a member on one other forum and it's not really hot rod or custom car related, just auto body 101. There is a lot of good information on there regaurding candy paints and other speicalty automotive concepts. I am however incredibly happy to be apart of this forum and since just even my short time here I have received only positive responses and have thoroughly enjoyed following along with others builds. I look forward to posting in the future and a big thanks to everyone who responded to this thread, it definitely got conversation going and that's honestly what I was hoping for.
