This board has become a joke
#16
It's ...
Fun, joshing, testing, kidding, joking, teasing, stupid bull***** - I like playing - push a few buttons, sit back and take a ride ...
not serious - just Romper Room antic's is all - nobody gets hurt 'I hope' ... Don't ever take any of my posts SERIOUS ...
I had to be way to serious when I worked for a living - now that I am retired - everything will be as nonsensical as possible...

I have to agree. Seems like now anything from a Honda accord to long tube headers to fake dyno charts starts a huge war.
The vendor's bashing each other has to stop. JL has really stepped up in his PSP and REM bashing lately.
We all know how Jim behaves
Have a nice day
EDIT: I forgot to add "driveshaft loop wars." How immature can some of us be.

Ya I have been here a lot longer than Dec 2001.. I was just a reader because I only had my 93. I remember the days,,, Pre Pulley ... No one had lower pulleys only upper and they were hard to remove so the tuners started have larger small ones fabricated.. The board was much nicer then.. Sometimes its seam like its a playground for kids and now the teachers are fighting...
Sad............

I wasn't hear for the good old days I always hear about
But there is still good info here. Ya I B/S, I have fun, and I joke BUT YOU NEVER HEARD ME BASH and never will.
Unfortunatly there is waaaaaaaaay to much tuner bashing B/S, even the tuners bashing each other. Your all right on how even a simple stupid piece of metal (D/S Loop) can start a war these days, THAT JUST STUPID, IT'S A DAM PIECE OF METAL we will hopefully never use.
I'll answer and help ANYONE, "and I always do", you know me, I'll take the cab off my truck to show one of you a Vacum Hose. Schitt last week I shovel'd snow for hours and hours and then went out there in a frigging Blizzard to check the new PCV System I have to answer a post.
I just wish there was more info and less B/S and Bashing
Anyone wanna see that Vac Hose again

This board has become a joke. If I explained why, it would probably turn into another childish war because there are too many that think they know what is going on. The only item I will comment on is that there is one tuner who's first post is frequently a unwarranted slam against another tuner. Explain that one if you can.
Here's a bit of advise for my last post:
It's more important listening what others have to say than it is to hear your own voice.
And remember, it's just a stupid truck.

I am pretty much a reader, and quite frankly, I don't read the tuner war stuff to much, so I don't even know what the battles and slights are all about.I don't know what this about either. I just happened to see a post by spike and I always like to read his posts because he seems to have some pretty good knowledge and logical solutions to the problem at hand. So, Spike keep on keepin' on

Yea, you are right Spike. I have a 99 and have been here a long time. It was a rare moment for all of us then, everyone help and respected each other. All Things change and the new guys are different. I don't post much any more either, as there are tons of people that know it all.
Time to hunt another experience and group to share it with.

Remember when our friend named me Hotdog, god knows how that would go down now.

Things change when money gets involved. And the Lightning community is growing larger and larger (well, the Gen2 community is, at least ), which means more and more vendors, and more chances to make money.
I agree that cliques have formed, that always happens in large groups. Unfortunately for the Gen2 community, these cliques mostly form around vendor association, and to a lesser extent, regional boundaries. And rarely have I ever seen a bunch of people that own an expensive piece of metal spend days going on about how their truck is faster, looks better, and deserves more appreciation than another owners'. And suddenly any opinion that doesn't match yours must be attacking you in some way. If your truck doesn't go as fast as my truck, then your opinion doesn't matter. If you can't run at least 11s, then you don't deserve to post. If you haven't been registered here for at least xxx months, or have xxx posts, then you must be a troll.
I don't think it's a problem with F150o, it's just that these type of people frequent this board more often. It has turned into a chat room in many ways. Way too many off-topic posts, by people who've been here for long enough to know better. Way too many one-liner posts that do nothing but stir the pot, and way too much post whoring It's a site I take in moderation, as well as a few others. Check about once a week, maybe open up 3-4 threads, get sickened and vow never to come back... until a week goes by.

I've been through 2 different trucks and on this board the whole time. Things have definately changed, but there is still a massive amount of info and some really great people left, which outways the bad IMO.
