RE: how to make nice with other forum members
Thereis agood list of things, when all is going well and someone mentions something you can feel that someone will explode. I think the biggest one is the V8 vs. V6 I've seen some pretty bad scenarios. as soon as someone mentions superiority over one another **** hits the fan!

This one gets me, I dont mean to be rude to people when i say use a search but hell, some things are asked daily and more than once. I have never actually started any threadsother than FS stuff. I have found everything I know by reading the post and using the search like its my bitch. Some people say they cant get it to work, i never have the problem though.
I know people will always ask the same questions over and over again, but if I ask them to search for the 100s of threads already cover on the forum, they might remember to try and do this first next time and ask educated questions about it in those threads they find, or atleast start a thread that states "what exhaust sounds best" "what gears to get" or "what is a CAI/tune"
I never mean to "flame" anyone but hopefully it help gets new and more accurate questions about topics that will help more people.

I think new people when they show up and they want to ask a question, it is the same question that has been asked maybe yesterday. People are not doing research, all I have to say "fukk man" google it!

And are new threads on old topics really that bad?
Think about it.
If not for the endless new "gears" threads, etc, this place would be dead, and all you'd see is stupid posts in off topic, like many other forums.
For me, you can post all the redundant threads you want.
Sometimes I just won't respond to them.

Oh and i forgot ... where is the flame master himself
The man the myth the legend. Legallytorchred!
That guy flames everything
Someone could prob post about how they just had a baby and they took it for his/hers first ride in a mustang. And he would find some way to flame it.

I agree that search can at times be helpful, but I find that many who complain that no search was done also complain when old threads are brought back to the front.
And are new threads on old topics really that bad?

. I keep a little spreadsheet on the side with the best (IMO) threads that answer things like "Painted Mirrors or Covers?", etc. and then just paste them in.

I try to keep in mind this is a public forum........so whatever I post (good or bad) will stir up something from someone. I don't believe you should not say anything, if you disagree-you disagree. I do think you should **attempt** to be civil, but you know there are times you are just dealing with a plain ol' azzhole. For the most part, I think people here are pretty cool.....some down right awesome, in fact!!!

RE: how to make nice with other forum members
sometimes no matter waht you say, it'll be taken the wrong way.
I know usually I might try to make a joke about something. And they take it way too personally.
I'm at the point where I have to hit preview to double check what I wrote and maybe add smileys to let the poser know he's wasted his money, but that it's just my opinion!
Oh and a topic that boils blood:
Comparing the S197 to all other previous Mustangs since 1974!

You forgot the "I'm 16 years old and my parents bought me a new Mustang GT" or "I'm 16 and I'm a great driver and can handle a Mustang GT" and the ever popular "I'm 16, I live at home, I drive a Mustang GT, my parents pay for the car and my insurance...but, but, but, I buy my own gas!!!"
Always makes for good reading....
