New Appreciation for this board
 
I just bought my daughter a Honda Civic for a cheap car to drive. I went on a Honda board and they said there was Honda service manuals to download for free. I couldn't get them to download even after changing some privacy settings. After about five tries they loaded without timing out.

I asked a question regarding how to get them and I got everything from "download Adobe Acrobat" to "they work fine for me" Duhhhhh, some of us go to work and use pdf files frequently. :smoke: I guarantee I could have created a pdf file of the manual that wouldn't have had a different file (each un-named) for each page of the manual!

Thinking it was just me and that they were probably trying to help with the obvious, I read a few more posts. They seem to love calling posters idiots. A different generation I guess.

That's why I'm here, because you guys all deliver the TLC we need! LOL:metal:

Hey! Don't let those guys spoil it for the rest of us. :lol:

I will generally agree though, my generation is full of those type of people... I have a few choice words to describe them... not too board friendly though.

Yeah, I know it isn't everybody that age. I have kids that age!! They and their friends are great. I see alot of college age kids every day and coach high school age. A lot of them are spoiled, but if you look hard there are also a lot of good kids.

There seems to be a lot of haters on 'other' boards....Especially where moderation is super lenient (anything and everything goes).

This is sure to lead to major s#!t talking, curse'n and just plain a$$ holes !!!

This is definately the place to be !!!

Heck, if she'd help, I'd give her an old chevy truck!:lol:

John, you are correct about the moderators. In fact, one of the smart a*^es WAS one of the moderators. Kudos to you guys who give your time to do that so well!

I agree with everyone who has already said it. This board is the best. Now to your problem. Post the link the the manual and I will try to help you get it. I have had to deal with this exact issue a few times trying to get bike manuals.

Sadly enough there are several boards like those honda ones. I was so discusted with another project that I ended up creating my own because I couldn't take the attitudes of others.

Back on topic time. ;)
This board is by far one of the best I've "ever" been on. I've been on several and there is nothing worse than a "newb" asking a question and getting flamed because he didn't use the search. I mean there are mods that actually take a screen shot of the search bar and paste it in their signature and it says something like this. "Before you start a new topic use this" I mean come on. New questions mean new posts. New posts mean more user inner action. Heck sometimes even generating new members because they join in.

Anyways thanks for being such a cool forum and a bunch of cool guys/gals. Moderators rock and all the people on this forum with all their help and advice is second to none.

I used to frequent another two forums but this one is definetly the top favorite and it is because everyone wants to help and there is no BS ever.

I can help you with Toyota stuff as I have access to anything and everything pertaining toyota. I also have access to All Data for cars so If you need any kind of help just pm me.

I agree Curt as this forum has it all .. and then some .. LOL

I have taken many of the great posts from this forum with great advice and "How To Do It " and copy and pasted it and sent it to my printer and now have a book of them in a 3 ring binder to refer to when needed..

Definately right about other boards! Sometimes I think they are set up simply as a contest to who can be the biggest A-Hole. The first board I ever wen't on was a hot rod board that was nothing but people belittling you and putting you down, especially if you were a newb. Only one guy on there was even close to nice. On one of my mopar forums all anyone does it trash talk each other. When I first started on that site it was as busy as this one, now I only check it once a week because there are usually only be 10-15 topics with new posts per section. This forum is definately the best I have been on!!

I'm on an S-10 board as well and I don't really post over there. You have to search through pages of bull spit to get an answer to a simple question, and God forbid you ask a question that's already been asked. You'll get told by 5 people in a row to use the search function :lol: Well, I did, and it gave me pages of threads that had nothing more in them than a bunch of idiots posting "use the search function." :mad:

I think I've answered "will 71 chevy fenders fit on a 68 chevy?" hundreds of times. I don't mind. No one else around here seems to mind either. I actually get annoyed when someone tells a poster to use the search function. If you're not going to help, stay out of the thread. Fortunately, this happens rarely.

If you can't tell from my post count, I love this place. I even scraped together some extra $ to be a supporter again... it just felt wrong being pink for so dang long!

As a new member I can tell you I love this place. Although my girlfriend would like me to spend less time on here though.

I agree. Everyone's encouraging and positive, even when we had someone ask a serious question about front-wheel drive conversions.

Re: New Appreciation for this board
 
Isn't front wheel drive when you walk out and lock out your hubs and put her in 4 low?

Kinda, I think it's when you blow your rear end when your out wheelin' and have to drag her home running on the front axle only?
