Roughly translated: Oh my god.

Thanks, although that doesn't clear up much.

euro2fast, I legitimately have no clue what you were trying to say with that pic.

Dichotomy, that's a really good word. Thanks for refreshing my vocabulary.

My only gripe with E30Tech is how much shit they talk about R3VLimited. (Which is of course my home and always will be). E30Tech started off great and the first half of its life was very good. The site was overflowing with TONS of turbo info and Megasquirt info before it was even popular. Unfortunately the site owner and admin lost interest and since then it seems content and enthusiasm have gone down.

I am SO HAPPY we have James here, he is truly an E30 enthusiast and the man loves this forum. Even though he has a real full time job he still finds the time to keep the gears turning behind the scenes. I know for a fact he's put a lot of his own time and money in to this forum and for that we should ALL be grateful.

This. Over and over the r3v vs tech debate comes up and people (on both sides, mind you) keep slinging shit. Such dichotomy is nothing less than destructive to the overall community

As was mentioned, I was referring to a post that was an enormous copy/paste campaign that crashed most people's computers, posted by a user with the sole purpose of nothing other than to annoy everyone else, NOT to be humorous.

Of the two forums, it seems to me that E30tech is the one that has a harder time with the humor style that we have over here on r3v, and if anyone has a "bleeding vagina", as you put it, it would be e3t people posting stuff like you did over here on r3v. As James mentioned, I am just speaking for myself here, I don't want to put words in James's mouth.

James: Your philosophy of website administration is what has made r3v into the great community that it is. Much love. No homo. ;)

Whoa, that's a side I haven't heard yet! Yeesh that sounds pretty messed up! I would have ditched that forum in a hot second if I was around then. I didn't join the forums until '08.

this was right at the beginning of 2008

not really worth going on about but it was total tyranny

[iamsam]

I stopped going to E30tech when chris went on his big powertrip just before disappearing completely and started deleting posts and banning users that spoke up with ideas that he didn't like...motherfucker actually PM'd me about speaking up for the rights of others to voice their opinions (remember that shit, TwoJs and AC Nico?)

just a few little tidbits

"...I just have zero tolerance for peoples' unwanted opinions...you guys need to step back and let us do our job"

F that, Viva la R3Volucion!

I liked e30 tech until I found r3v. I never got to post over there because I was never activated until like a year after I registered. I usually only go there if a Google search pops a link to it up. There are some very good writeups there though, like disassembling an LSD.

IMO, e30 tech is good as an info source, kinda like Wikipedia, but for a question that needs answered, r3v excels. Plus too, r3v is mah friendz.

^ that right there is one of the reasons I don't like this place as much as e30t.. seems like everyone's sense of humor has been replaced by a bleeding vagina

I used both sites. More so R3v nowadays.

When I first started I used both equally, then I saw the structure started to fall apart at tech and it kinda just died to 1-2 posts a day on the entire forum. It was quite slow. R3v was still up and going with many people posting knowledge or funnies. When I switched over to being on R3v more was when I noticed a few features on R3v that made it easier to navigate.

I use r3v as an answer to all my e30 technical inquiries and as a means to have fun and say what's on my mind. I appreciate the awesome atmosphere this place has and I totally embrace all the oddball characters we have on here. Keep up the sweet ass job you've been doing here James. Viva la R3v! LOL

I only locked the thread because the "sup" post was locking up the thread from loading to where i could not delete that post to keep it open.

I would rather keep it open so people would have a place to post asking for activation on e30 tech.

I had to delete it from the database directly as I could not get a browser to not freeze.
