Is Toyspeed lame?

Postby Undertow » Sun Nov 23, 2003 9:55 am

I dunno bout you all but I reckon Toyspeed has turned into absolute crap. Just like post whores, spading, pathetic bollocks, ridiculous and poorly thought out conversion ideas and people who think that when they get into Toyspeed they now have a whole new group of friends.

I mean...it's a car forum... c'mon.

what u talking about is probably a small part of the whole

but i did find it rude when i ask some question in tech forum and after a few days i came back to find my answer there are 16 posts~ woohoo..... and yeah there were 10+ posts by 2 people talking their own business/jokes under my topic which has totally nothing to do with it.

i think the admin has done a very good job, but there can be more admins to help.

i don't think toyspeed is lame. i didn't think i will get whole new group of friends when i joined in... the fact is, i still don't know anyone here, but i don't really care. i just came here to learn something from people who has the knowledge and experience. (of course i will help others if i know something, but yeah... i don't know much at all)

I agree with NeverAlive! If you go have a look at my profile, I drive a Mitsi, and there are people here who have been giving me shit about it saying that this is a Toyota forum! When I registered, I dont remember filling in a feild asking me what car I drove before I got accepted!

This is a car forum regardless of what car you drive, and not a porn site, not a place where you can come and let some steam off, not a place to start up a fight!

That's my point dumb ass. I think you should get on IRC and pretend you have friends.

If you think i'm being a power hungry moderator deaf_rattle then maybe you need to consider what it is that seems to cause you to draw my attention so often.

Theres many TS users who have appreciated my help and assistance before now.

This forum is what the users make of it; as is Toyspeed itself. Funny though, where the admins dont do anything you accuse us of not doing anything, but when they dont get it right you accuse them of getting it wrong!

(Funny; same thing is said of all leaders worldwide.. people give politicians so much shit but in the end a large portion of it is because they cant please all the people all the time...)

Vote with your feet, people. If you dont like it - LEAVE.

If you on the other hand would like to see TS change for the better - then help it happen.

Yup, basically vote with your feet. If you have a problem, go elsewhere or make your suggestions constructive by helping everyone.

Undertow, did you know your in the top 10 regular posters since you registered? Is there something your not telling us? Anyway, no need to be so angsty :)

Go outside, breath some fresh air and when you come back everything may not seem so upsetting. As you said, 'tis just a car club after all :D

well the way i see it is that if you don't like it then leave. why the hell start a post up bitching about how lame you think the forums or the club or anything TS related is. if it $&#$%' iritates you that much go sulk somewhere else or talk on other forums, why keep goin on about a forum you don't like. No one forces you to be here.

Lol....a bitch post about "bitch posts"...gotta love the irony

But I'd have to agree that theres alot of crap on the boards, and it overflows past OT too often.

And I say go the moderators! If TS was just left to its own devices it would turn into a real old mess pretty quick thanks to some less scrupless members.

But at the end of the day you can hardly complain much about a free service.

Just ignore the rubbish like I do :)

Ummmm yeah...how about you actually read my post properly rather than assume I'm disrespecting the whole of the Toyspeed board.

What I'm saying is that it used to be good when you didn't have to sift through the completely useless comments all across the board. Yeah, I'm the 15th highest poster but that's because I started back in June last year rather than the people only started recently and can't stop talking out their arse.

EXACTLY what In was gonna say, make it what you will. If you have a question, post it...see what answers you get, if it's not what your after just post on another board, if it is then cool. There is always gonna be crap post's here and there....just ignore them, not worth getting involved in rubbsih but some people like it so leave it to them I guess, mod's do the best thet cam....and aren't anywhere near as anal as some of the other forums iv'e been on that let you ONLY post about one make of car in particular and lock anything that gets of topic a bit.

[rant] I'm curious here. 8O Why is Blakjak copping stick ? :?
I've never seen him do anything but a great job on here, and all for free too ! :) How can he be accused of being power-hungry ? :cry:
And NO, I'm not kissing arse, I just believe in giving credit where it's due, and giving everyone a fair go. So how about we leave the moderators alone, and get back to spouting shit that isn't intended to offend anyone. 8) [/rant]

lame

Postby GEOFF » Tue Nov 25, 2003 12:06 pm

yep, cuz when people loose an argument... they turn to the 'but you own a 20 valve'

Thats like primary school shit. especialy when it comes from a dude with a cresida engine in a celica... or from a dude that used to own a piece of shit mr2, thats suddenly better cuz he spent 11 grand on a supra with fuct turbos.
