The point of a help forum

[RonJ]

whats even more irritating.... them starting a question... and never returning to tell us how it worked out..

or they start a help thread... and a day later start another one because nobody posted in the other one... or... there is another problem related to the first problem

You have the option not to post in threads that irritate you. Why not exercise this option rather than be annoying yourself?

Yet another good point. If you don't want to post.. don't.

because these threads just clog up the search results...


sometimes the search fails becasue you get 300 threads on the same subject... but not one of them resolved... or no clear cut information

Precisely why posting Go Search in any thread is pointless.

after you have been here for a while... and shown that you are interested in the car... and if you actually participate in troubleshooting... then we will for sure lend a hand in your decision... but dont expect us to do the homework for you... we have done ours... and we do not like to do yours.

if you cant take the time to search a little... or even just read a few threads... then why do you expect us to jump to your needs and answer your questions for you? this shows us you are not dedicated to your car... and all you care about is making it into the neighbor hood ricer crowd with your bullshit body kit.. and your ridiculous 17" rims...
.

Very well put.


I know what your rant is about OP, and lets fill some people in on the subject.

I helped you with your little LS dreams thread that diminished in what, a week? You made a thread asking what it costs to build a Z6. That is research you HAVE to do on your own, I'm not a vendor, 99% of the people that read that post aren't vendors, nobody did the pricing and the leg work for me when i started building my motor. I had to run around to different websites, different shops, different contacts, etc. and gather all of the pricing myself. As i stated in your thread, pricing will vary dependent on where you're located in the country; so that is up to YOU to find.

That's the good thing. It's not common to see people pull the "Go Search" card.

so your saying that this forum is nothing but assholes that say search?

well.... you cant compare this site to CI... we have far more users...

and... the information for the honda civic is so vast... and so well known... that these days a simple google search... will yield results...

like this...

B16 swap how to?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=B16+swap+how+to



or even... the CC search...

http://www.clubcivic.com/board/search.php?searchid=2987306


we tell people to search because they are too damn lazy to do thier homework.

everyone here that says search.... knows the answer... but they would like the end user to find it for themselves... same as we all did it back in the day. we all started out knowing nothing about our cars... thats why we came here. and we searched. and posted information we have found.. these forums are not for us to tell you how to spend your money.... or what engine to put in your car...

these forums were designed to troubleshoot problems. and thats what we do best.

if you are in the middle of an H22 swap in your 91 civic... and you cant get it started... then.. we will come to the rescue...

but we wont tell you if the H22 is better than the B18... because there is too much debate on it. that there is no clear answer. everyone has different views.

and we wont tell you if you should go NA or boost... because... there is a significant price difference in the two...

the true reason we tell folks to search....

becasue we know... that they are just kids with dreams. dreams that will either come true... or dreams that will diminish in a year...

after you have been here for a while... and shown that you are interested in the car... and if you actually participate in troubleshooting... then we will for sure lend a hand in your decision... but dont expect us to do the homework for you... we have done ours... and we do not like to do yours.

if you cant take the time to search a little... or even just read a few threads... then why do you expect us to jump to your needs and answer your questions for you? this shows us you are not dedicated to your car... and all you care about is making it into the neighbor hood ricer crowd with your bullshit body kit.. and your ridiculous 17" rims...

to be completely honest about looks of a car.... most of the people here dont care much for body kits... or big ass rims. or wings.. or fart cans.

we care about clean.... well thought out cars. with things that flow.

your car with a body kit, wing, fart can, and 17s on it... means nothing to us if its an automatic... and no power mods. a CAI.... is not a power mod.

ive seen people start threads on going from a D15B7 to try and swap in a K... and want to know how much it costs...

a week later the same people are just simply looking to do a minime. it swings that fast... and this to us... means you arent serious.

if you come here and want a K right off the bat... you better be prepared to pay the price... its gonna cost more than the car is currently worth. and if your not prepared to pay that.... then why even ask about it? it cant be done on the cheap... it cant be half assed.

Isn't the point of having forums to help other people with their questions when they don't know the answer to when you yourself know? When you are looking for information and all you can ever find is people that keep on saying search does that ever help anyone in the long run? No it doesn't, all it does is piss people off because they ask a question that they know people know the answer to but all the ever get told is to search for the answer, when in the end it does almost no good. This whole telling the person to search just waists time, when it might take a whole minute out of your life to give them an answer, where as you just feel the need to say search instead of spending that minute to help out another enthusiast. At least on Club Integra unlike here they actually take the step to answer the question instead of being all retarded and no wanting to actually help someone out that wants a simple answer...so yes I am done complaining, feel free to tell me how pointless this was, how this doesn't serve a purpose, or whatever else you think. I really don't care...

sorry dude, some of the members on here just feel they are better than everyone else. It's the internet and they can get cocky without getting punched in the mouth like they would in real life.


It's against the site rules to make those stupid "search" posts but they do anyway. I don't tolerate those posts in tech because it comes off as cocky and rude. The site is here to help everyone that needs help with their civic but sometimes you just get those cocky members posting. It is true that members can search for some of the questions they may have but sometimes the search comes up with nothing or just something that doesn't answer their question the way they want it to. Don't let these cc e-thugs discourage you from using the site... f**k them!



btw, I cleaned up your thread and gave infractions to the members shitting on it. So carry on!...

You have the option not to post in threads that irritate you. Why not exercise this option rather than be annoying yourself?

EXACTLY!!!

4. Please refrain from making a post just to tell another member to use the search function. It is however ok to answer the question and suggest in the future that they use the search feature.

 

[bizoneoeh]

not only that but when a noob DOES search and bumps an old thread, some of you guys give them s**t for that. So it's a lose/lose for the noobs no matter how you look at it. You hardasses are going to give the noobs s**t either way.



So just stop the crying and just don't post if you're going to be a d**k about it.
thanks!
