    To the people of R3v...

    I dont want to leave the wrong impression. This site's entertaining, you guys crack me up. And there's some great info and build threads on the site.

    But Ive noticed theres a select handful of guys who give tech advice based off of what they've read on the internet, instead of what theyve experienced hands on. IMO, this has resulted in a whole crapload of misinformation on the site. Sometimes when I search for things I want a second opinion on, cant figure out, or need certain specs, 90% of the time I have to skim through four pages of garbage to pick and choose what I think the accurate post is.

    In other words, know wtf you're talking about before you post. Remember that game you played in elementary school where everyone sat in a 1/2 circle? The teacher whispered a secret to the first student, everyone was instructed to whisper the same thing to the next person? By the time the message gets to the last person, its a completely different story?

    If you noobs keep it up, thats what this will turn into.

      Thank you, guy that's been here for 7 months.

      If you want to go through all the tech threads and start reporting every post that might be wrong information, by all means, please feel free. Unfortunately, we can weed through every post to make sure the dumbass noobs aren't posting bullshit. We catch it when we can, but we only catch about 10-20% of it. Welcome to life on a public internet forum.

        If I had the time to contribute, maybe I would. When I say noob, it doesnt have anything to do with how long someone has been here. Because theres guys who have been here for a long time and have a million posts of complete crap.

        But like I said, dont take what I said as an insult to the forum, or that the mods are slacking. But more of like a heads up to the guys who are quick to spout off, who might stumble across this thread.

                      :p

                      That you're a pre-madonna. And that your 11k posts havent contributed anything but a bunch of BS. Your 9 year motor swap hasnt gone anywhere and never will because youre just a smoked out computer geek, that sits on the computer more than anything else you do in your pathetic life.



                      jk.

                      Really, I think the first post was pretty straight foward. This thread is probably a waste of time, its just the last few days browsing the site has me frustrated.

                        So it really was pointed at me. Ahh, I see. I feel no need to argue the merits of your post, so I won't.

                              Farbin posts funny replies as much as possible............that is why I love R3V.

                              Weeding through the bull shit is part of being a R3V member.......get over it.

                              Not all of my posts are useful, but I try, with my experiences of working on E30's

                              These cars are fun as hell to drive and work on (if you have the patience)

                              I think the forum experience should be fun and informative, again why I love R3V, for the fun.

                              I am sure this thread was not pointed directly at Farbin, but if you are a true gearhead you will be able to weed out the BS pretty easily, I know I have.

                              I have had plenty of problems with both my E30's, easily resolved with the advanced search function, and of course the BS filter on.
