uh oh...the TN monster is out! who's next?

 

Me... :sosad:

 

Maybe they tired of the repeating/weekly threads on HIDs, Wheels, Tires or many other threads that are covered in the Owners Manual?????????

 

I agree. Most of the issues are either covered in the owners manual, or have been covered 100 times on the forum already. I have no solution for the people that won't open their owner's manual... but:

I think that someone needs to "clean out" the Gen 5/6 forum so that it's more user friendly and doesn't have so many useless or repeated posts. It's to the point where the search button can at times, be completely useless. (Because a search will pull up 17 pages of absolute crap before actually getting to the post that answers the question).

In addition, many people simply reply to someone that they should "search". This is adding to the problem. 1) the original post gets added to the search results when someone else actually searches.
2) When someone else actually searches and sees the post (along with tons of other posts just like it), they'll click on it... get frustrated that they didn't get an answer, so they'll simply post the stinkin' question again... and the cycle repeats.

For example: Search for:

"Flare" = 17 pages of posts, mostly useless. (Despite the sticky- which most people don't see)
"Wheels" = 17 pages of posts, mostly useless.
"HID" = 17 pages of posts, again- mostly useless.
"brakes" = 17 pages of crap.
"JBL" = 17 pages of more crap.
"Oil Change" = 17 pages of crap.

Yes, some of those are vague search terms, but it's what people actually search for.

I think a better solution is to simply answer people's question politely... and then politely remind them to use the search button next time. Eventually, the new posts (that actually answer the questions) will be the first things that pop up when someone searches, and hopefully that will result in less repetitive posts for the same old stuff. I know it's easier just to call someone lazy... but in all honesty, we sometimes have a habit of making a bad impression upon new members because we're not always as welcoming as we should be. (Who knows, we all started as newbies, and eventually newbies can, theoretically, become old and wise... just like some of the members on this forum who've been around for years.)

 

yeah....it gets kind of annoying to see a user with 2 posts asking "will such and such wheel fit on my car?? " i can understand legitimate questions, like rubbing concerns, but it seems like some of the noobs just want someone else to tell them what mods to do to their car....i feel like the gen 5/6 section is going downhill fast.

the people with real knowlege are fading fast and being quiet, and the dumbasses are shouting loud and clear

 

they went to a lexus forum lol

 

when i was in Vancouver i kidnapped Moky, and stole his car!

 

Sweet!!! Now send that bad ass over here! Share the fun will ya.

 

I hear ya. I've found the forum extremely repetitive and dry of late... :snore:

 

i don't share well with others. lol

 

some people end up having other interest or they may have a busier life.

They will come around in their own time.

 

Peach is busy dating Mario. Hahahaha... :lol:

 

Yeah maybe a mod or something should temporarily restrict new HID/coil/wheel threads or just close them and direct them to a search query result so there wouldnt be so many of the same threads on here.

 

So anyways... what kind of HID's should i get, and what do all the numbers stand for?

The numbers mean how many HP you will gain.

Imagine, 12,000K!!!!!!!! That means your car will have a little over 12,000HP!!!!!

That'll blow up you engine even before you crank it!!!! Hahahaha....
