Re: Other Forums
I had a Celica for a while, and found a forum for Celica people. It became obvious pretty quickly that I was out of place....a bit too old for the ricers and their attitudes. Doesn't mean that there weren't nice people, helpful people, etc., on there, because there are. I just found that I was out-of-place, like a nun at a Hooter's.

Re: Other Forums
There are other forums out there? Wow who'd a' ever thunk it!
I am a member of a couple other forums.Some are fairly nice others I quit visiting.This is home but I do go and check out the Garage journal once in a while.Other than that I have not found many places I feel as welcome as here.

Re: Other Forums
I think the rest of the world can learn from the respect and kindness everyone on this forum has for one another and their projects. It makes me feel good knowing this is one place my two sons can come to for advice when they inherit the 72.

Re: Other Forums
It's not a coincidence that nice people are on this forum. I think that a superb style truck as ours, demands only the best attributes of an owner. lol

Re: Other Forums
Just a quick opinion/ something to keep in mind as far as I'm concerned:
First off, I have found this forum very helpful, and the people very friendly/helpful. Some of the projects on here are amazing and there is great technical info on here for someone like me who is new to Chevy trucks (just recently bought a '69 C20). I've been on this website almost every day for over a month or so now, over 90% of which has been searching the forums for answers to questions i have, or just browsing through builds/threads trying to learn more about these trucks. I think it's kind of stupid that there is so much 'bashing' on other forums, however, I think it's completely understandable. I frequently am on the Toyota forum at www.pirate4x4.com (just to give an example). That website is hands down the best place to go for hard core, out-of-the-box, innovative rock crawling tech. I can't tell you how much I've learned from that site over the years. That site has grown so incredibly popular though, and has so many users accessing it now, that it seems like there are a lot of questions asked over and over and over repetitively to no end - most of which have already been answered countless times in detail and are easy to find with the search feature. These kinds of posts really water down the whole site with meaningless information and make it harder to use for those of us that really appreciate the hardcore technical aspect of the site. SO, sometimes people (alot of times actually) get *****ed out for asking questions that contribute to the board getting too watered down, and I think for good reason. Unfortunately, sometimes less computer savvy people don't know how to search, or people get feelings hurt by this. I go on that site for one reason: to find hardcore technical information and innovative ideas that are not available elsewhere. I do not go onto that site because I'm looking for friends, or affirmation, but I think some people do. Anyway, just giving my opinion... That said though, people that cuss each other out and have their little 'e-battles' I think are rediculous, I think people should talk to each other online the same as they would face to face. So I agree that 'flaming' kind of sucks, but at the same time feel that sometimes it's almost a good thing because people that aren't serious about get thinned out from the rest. I think the problem probably grows alot depending on the number of users as well. Just my opinion... |

Re: Other Forums
For one, I don't think the people on the Bronco forum know as much as the people on this forum. On that forum, I searched over countless threads for something as simple as a how a stock radiator mounts or replacing a water pump (remember I am not a Ford guy). I couldn't find it, so I asked. I got flamed. I guess I was just spoiled by this site, If I had asked the same question here (about a 67-72 Chevy of course) about 10 people would have taken pictures and posted them. Maybe it's my fault but I assumed someone there would do the same thing. I can't wait to get the rusted broken bolts out of the block of the Bronco so I can put the water pump back on and get rid of that POS so I can find another 72 Chevy.

Re: Other Forums
There are a couple of Chevy truck forums on Usenet ,one for 4x4 only. I don't go there much anymore because they have maybe 1/50th the activity as here plus I don't remember seeing too many pictures.But there are some very knowledgeable and helpful posters there,they just possibly don't know about this forum.

Re: Other Forums
I'm a member at nastyz28 which is for 2nd gen camaros. That was the best forum I have found til this. Unlike the other forum, seems you guys actually work on your trucks and arn't afraid of straying away from stock. Ah, tell one of those guys your putting 18's on a camaro and prepare to have 90% of the forum say no, too big.

Re: Other Forums
I used to have a 65 Ford (Forgive me) and was on two different Ford forums. If you were doing anything other than fixing your Ford up stock..they would burn you severely. I finally got my 67 bowtie stepper and sold the Ford. I actually told the Blue oval guys on my last post that I was putting a SBC motor in my Ford...then signed off before they could track me down. I love this board! My wife says I spend way too much time here...

I went to one of the toyo forums - rebuilding part of a frame horn, front end on an Avalon - I found that noone COULD answer my questions - they were too busy putting guages and stickers on their cars. I started by saying their search tool turned up nothing and then asked my questions... The last response I got was "since you're a body/frame guy, why don't you fix it and tell us?" - that was the last time I "visited with "todays youth". It burns me to have an obvious snot nosed kid (16-25) that still lives in his parents house, with a 30k vehicle, flame people for being lame or noobs, etc. We have 15 and 16 year olds on here that conduct themselves like men and enough of their types are missing in the tuner world for sure. Steppin' back down off the box now... This place is great!
