Thumbs down Why is everyone on this forum a douche? (rant)

I just made a thread a few days ago requesting a few pictures of some wheels...
https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...7x11-zr1s.html
Feel free to read through the post. Did i do something wrong? i feel like a lot of people on this site are just overzealous ******* 16 year old kids that have nothing better to do but post as many times as they can. If youve every argued with a 5 year old you know exactly how i feel right now. No one is actually reading what I posted, but instead trying to make themselves sound right in an argument they started with themselves.

i would ask you to not refer to Everyone on this site-there are plenty of good people on this site,and there always a couple bad ones.The main problem is the bad ones are the most vocal.I would advise to not argue with them-this just encourages them.

Everyone??? Looks to me like you posted a very commom question and a person or two recommended using the search function and now you're blowing it all out of proportion and calling "everyone" 16 year old ******** who have nothing better to do than post as much as possible.

First off not everyone here is 16, in fact i'm 27 and if you ever attended any meets (whether LS1tech, epfba, etc) you would know that ages range from 16-50 and these people are the most friendly/helping people you will probably ever meet.

Bottom line is that there are stickies and a search function for a reason. Yes, sometimes people could explain things a nicer way but that doesn't give you the right to stereotype the forum and talk your trash. Remember you signed up to the forum, the forum didnt sign up to you. If you don't like it here, simply leave!

It's really simple: Once you try the search & don't find what you need you can start a thread & ask the question preceeded by "I tried the search..." Usually keeps the peace that way

I'm loving your sig, lol!

"Just another bolt on only LT1 that can kick ur LS1's a$$!"
What does it run now?

Back on topic.....I can see where the OP is coming from though. It can get annoying when people fire back with "use the search function" on every post. Sometimes it's fun to talk about things that haven't been discussed in a while. "USUALLY" someone will dig up an older thread with the same topic on hand and post the link for the OP, and then the thread will die, but not always. Just take it in stride, don't get too offended by it. For the most part the people on here are very cool.

I have a pet peeve that always seem to materialize in the Drag Racing section and I get a little vocal on it, lol. Such as when someone takes the plunge and starts gutting their street/strip car with the removal of just about every item possible. After a few posts...ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS someone will chime in with just how unsafe the car is now, yada, yada, yada. Well no ****! You mean to tell me if I remove my air bag my car isn't as safe? Or if I remove my front bumber support? Or my ABS? No ****! You've got to be kidding me! You mean if I take out safety related items my car isn't as safe? Thanks for reminding me! I wouldn't have known!

or how about in the exhaust section, someone asks about the effects of removing cats or AIR or any emissions stuff, and there is always that person that has to put in the 'why would you do that, its illegal'.

and FYI, thirdgen.org is 1000x worse with the 'do a search' replies. its bad enough that you see people all the time adding a 'yes, i did a search' to their posts. sometimes you just cant find exactally what you are looking for. just because someone has already done it before, doesnt mean they explained it in their post in a way that makes sense to you, or in the case of this guy's wheels, maybe the pics he found arent at the angle he wants to see them at, etc.

I feel your pain, it is pretty lame for 12 people to tell you
to use the search and not give an answer.
If you are going to waste your time suggesting to use the search, why not just directly answer the question or post a link and the search smilie.
Why is everyone on this forum a douche?
It is also lame to call everyone a douche.

Your a new member and you probably havent seen the vast amount of info the search feature will produce if you just take the time to use.
