Seriously though this happens on every forum after the car has been around a few years. It gets even worse as the cars become more affordable.

I agree 100%. On Zilvia, an S/Z chassis forum I frequent because of my previous car, we get a lot of newbie posts asking the same questions over and over again.

"What wheel fitment do I need for flush-look?" Even though we have a 500+ page thread on it specifically stickied for all to see and look through.

"Which part is better, this eBay brand that cost $50 or *insert reputable brand* that costs $500?"

Many questions can be answered by searching the forum, or worse case scenario *gasp* Searching this almighty thing called "Google". Surprising how strange it is that nobody's ever heard of this before. But it's available, free and seriously will answer 99% of your questions. Damn those 1%-ers.

But seriously on this forum, there are some threads that make me scratch my head. I'm not going into specifics but off the top of my head, some people start threads that should have been knowledge about cars in general, not specifically to the 370Z.

This is the reason for my low post count, because I know how to search and keep my posting to a minimum. The difference is that on Zilvia, they don't tolerate the newbie questions and the threads get locked, the OP gets pissed, hates the forum, and leaves. This forum is MUCH more tolerant towards newbies and embraces everybody.

spohn, which model / generation iphone do you have? mine is a 4g. i cant search, and i cant leave message when adding rep.

I have the 3GS. I can search and rep but can't leave a message when repping.

darn electronic doo-hickies

Maybe they should ask SIRI what should be there first mod or what kind of oil :icon17:

I think all of this is just people coming in who are maybe new to forums in general or don't think it through that maybe something already was posted.

That or they're lazy; in which case :shakes head:

As the title states. Lately it seems this forum has been flooded with newbies. Which is good in it's own way. But where my problem is they keep asking the same questions over and over. And it's the most basic ones at that. The forum has been around for what, 3+ years? Do they not think these questions has not been answered many times before? Just about everything here has been discussed over and over.

For me the site has come down to specifics for each others car. Which is what it should be now with all the time that's went by. But to see questions about what exhaust should I get, what oil are you running, what tire size, what's the best CAI, and so on and so on. It's gone mad IMO.

So newbies please use the SEARCH feature.

I'm sorry I had to vent this issue. I try not to complain any but I had to. I feel much better now. Thanks.

this has been covered on many forums before, just use GOOGLE! JEEZ

Tired of Newbies yet?

:hello:

It's like that on ever forum i've been on. I don't let it get to me.

If you want to answer then click on the thread and reply, if it upsets you then move on to the next :)

Personally, i'll skip over any thread with single word subjects, meaningless terms(what is... how do... help..., etc), or if the topic of the thread cannot be determined by the subject alone. Following this recipe has really cut down on the amount of noise I have to read through to get to meaningful content. Finally, if I can't make sense of the first two or three sentences, I skip the rest of the thread. :tiphat:

How can moderators be red? I'm used to moderators having 100000000 rep power on other forums.

OP I feel your pain.

And than people look at me being a jerk when instead of answering their question I tell them to SEARCH!!! It is the same questions at least once a week over in the audio section.

Not to offend anyone, but I found it very stupid when ask people "what color should I choose?" :icon14:

If you don't even know what color do you like, let alone knowing what car to buy..... :ugh2:

And I've seen on many forum, people even setup a poll for it.... Why not just ask "What color of underwear should I wear??" :inoutroflpuke:
