Since Contours are now cheap second-tier cars, we will get more ADD-prone kids buying them, who come to this site and just start posting already-asked x1000 questions, making random unecessary comments (HITMAN are you listening?), etc... I do think the mods/Admins should be more agressive in curbing 1)Threads asking common questions that are discussed daily or are answered in the FAQ and 2) Threads where everyone starts arguing and flinging crap at each other. HITMAN your thoughtless comments fall into thread category #2. E0 3781

I've been busy trying to improve Aethetics, Duratec Maintenance, Duratec Performance, and General Mods. 90% of my time has been spent moving posts from General Mods to the appropriate Forums for more effective dearch results. It's almost done, so I have more time to improve the Forums. Originally posted by Cris'pus: I think if you just DON'T ANSWER such reoccuring topics they'll be Forced to search . Only if the ignorant will keep asking then pounce, don't kill the newbs so quickly. That's tough because Search Nazis start jumping in or the poster "ttt" or "bump" or "anyone?" to get it back to the top. Better to give a link and tell them to try Searching (nicely of course ).

A lot of people believe Hitman starts these just to get a rise out of people...i am starting to agree because of all the ingnorant stuff that comes out of his posts...Iv been waiting for him to prove others wrong, but it does not look like it will happen. I will admit, a lot of poeple are harsh on the newbies, as i have been on occasion. But i bring an example: The forums are here to ask questions and to find answers...people complain that no one wants to take the time to help newbies and answer there questions. this is true to an extent....obviously the word of choice is SEARCH! Which is true...i ahve found the majority of my info searching...and that i do not find, i then ask for help, weather its in the for of an answer to a question or if someone directs me to a link of a privois post. Point is, its a 2 way street, if people actualy tried to use the search feature then ask the question then people would not be so harsh. the search funtion is there for a reason! Use it. HITMAN As for the remarks about Airknight....You can go stright to hell for your insensitive comments....I talked to him maybe 3 times but i had absolute respect for him. its people like you that drag the morals of this forum down! id keep his post up there for ever if it were up to me...you [censored] tard Lupe Last edited by Roz 1999 SVT-C; 09/29/04 12:56 AM. 3.0 SVT hybrid...all the fixens...Track/Race ready very soon!!!!!! 20,000 + miles

The forums are a great place for info and such, I never said they wernt, basically they just need more watching over. Secondly Lupe, and a few others I never said anything bad about Airknight, all I simply said was the thread has been there for a while along with Bill Jenkins and a few others. Never said anything bad about either of them. Telling me to go to hell, well isnt that a bit extreme there? Also I didnt start for a flamewar and I'm glad to see it didnt turn into one, but a few people wanted to, when I saw their post I decided not to respond. Mark, thanks for sticking up for me. In a way there is truth to what you said.
