Some people just don't like to post much. Like me.

Yeah 50k. You're slacking. Let's pick up the pace.

It's like a normal conversation...some people talk more than others, some are all business, etc. It will be interesting to see what happens to the forum as the car becomes cheaper and the owners become younger (and I'm saying this as a 24 yr old). I have to say I learn a TON from the older members and all their experience and knowledge of cars, parts, and engines in general. Can I always contribute? No, because I'm not one to talk about something I don't know about, but I enjoy learning and try to pass along information I've learned whenever possible.

It will be just like the My350z forum.....

Just curious where would you expect someone with a ton of 370Z parts try to sell them? I'm not sure what you would expect out of a member of the forum? What should they contribute at this point: every DIY has been done, if they post an issue or question that has been answered before they get met with a "Try your search button, it works" reply. I use this forum as a knowledge source and to post pics and that's about it. The only new stuff I can contribute is my growing knowledge of PlastiDip and it uses, but the second I even type the word PlastiDip, I get called a ricer, etc. So I'll contribute where it is appreciated.

This is a good question,
I think the reason why there isn't that many replies on this forum is like any other forum or profession.....u have the guys that are interested: the guys that read the posts, the guys that have done things with there car: creating posts, and the guys that know everything about the 370Z cause they've done it all: they guys replying to all the posts.
I ask questions on this forum, i create posts on this forum, & if I've experienced something with my Z, i reply to other posts. Majority of people that search this forum or any other specific forum, is to get help or ideas for their Z. Can't really put down any member if they don't feel the need to post a reply or create a post....
This is a great forum for info & ideas, and its all because of the members.
Maybe we should say thanks to all the members that have shared their experience and knowledge about the 370Z on the forum instead of wondering where them at.....

That's racist.

Just in the past two days i've noticed this is the For sale section, and its not that it really bothers me, but I hate when your trying to get a response and you have to continually try to contact them. If your gonna put your parts up for sale at least make an effort to respond to the people that are interested.

Cuban Z · 04-06-2013, 01:22 AM

Just because somebody doesn't post doesn't mean that they are not a good member. I know plenty of guys and gals that may say something here and there or not at all that are rock solid. High post count does not equal good member in my book. Nor do I feel that people that read and learn but don't post are somehow taking advantage of those that do post. I'm just happy to be here with a great group of Z people!

enkei2k · 04-06-2013, 02:15 AM

Nothing wrong with people parting out/selling. That just means other members get a shot at parts they might need for cheaper than retail, but risk getting scammed unless they're local.

lhinojos · 04-06-2013, 02:31 AM

Can't tell if I fit the criteria for this or not. I'm only 20 and I don't know much about cars, but the little I have learned I do share. And I do share my opinions when people ask for em. I also ask for em lol(ex. Help choosing wheel color thread). I also try to sell stuff on the for sale section. My post count is only just above 200 but I positive that number will only go up lol

I guess ill just leave this forum........NOT. I'm here to stay b****es! Deal with it!
