My biggest pet peeve in threads is when someone posts a pic of something and 50 people repost it going sweet,awesome....or some other remark of their approval. You don't have to quote the f'ing picture for everyone else to know what you are talking about....a simple hey <insert name> that is a sweet f'ing shot bro will suffice. That is all...I feel better...for now haha.

Most people who been here for a while understand how it works. New people do not and most people who join a forum are either looking to socialize or look for help and don't know they will be mocked and castrated for not searching... and search does not always have the answer, usually I Google what I'm looking for and behold it will show a 370z thread with the answer... however the search here revealed pages and pages of unrelated threads. I don't even think about asking questions because of the self serving people who want to jump on you for not spending days going over old posts that may or may not hold the answer

One of the purposes here is to help others and make others feel welcome... which is what I try to do here when I can

remember we were all newbs at one point ...

I agree 100%. On Zilvia, an S/Z chassis forum I frequent because of my previous car, we get a lot of newbie posts asking the same questions over and over again.

"What wheel fitment do I need for flush-look?" Even though we have a 500+ page thread on it specifically stickied for all to see and look through.

"Which part is better, this eBay brand that cost $50 or *insert reputable brand* that costs $500?"

Many questions can be answered by searching the forum, or worse case scenario *gasp* Searching this almighty thing called "Google". Surprising how strange it is that nobody's ever heard of this before. But it's available, free and seriously will answer 99% of your questions. Damn those 1%-ers.

But seriously on this forum, there are some threads that make me scratch my head. I'm not going into specifics but off the top of my head, some people start threads that should have been knowledge about cars in general, not specifically to the 370Z.

This is the reason for my low post count, because I know how to search and keep my posting to a minimum. The difference is that on Zilvia, they don't tolerate the newbie questions and the threads get locked, the OP gets pissed, hates the forum, and leaves. This forum is MUCH more tolerant towards newbies and embraces everybody.

I think all of this is just people coming in who are maybe new to forums in general or don't think it through that maybe something already was posted.

That or they're lazy; in which case
