Good. The potential for hilarity here is too good to close it down.

Yeah, but it was meant to be a serious thread. That's why it's in General Discussion and not off topic

I know, but things go off the rails around here quickly. I think the idea is still a good one if people can keep their inner derp in check. It would be truly sticky-worthy if it worked as planned, and one or two new members might actually read it before making the 479th oil thread.

Yeah or when someone asks what about the clutch helper spring? Because you know, when I googled the answer I googled "clutch helper spring part number" now I know that's really hard to do. But I decided instead of being a prick, I'll waste my time because I know the system better so I can help out a fellow member.
But instead I got fucktards like MMC trolling.

If we could be trusted to not **** things up, an index of stupid questions and a link to the answer would be really helpful. I did weeks of research here before I bought my Z and it would have saved me a lot of time.

Spammers will be spammed back btw.
I really lost a lot of respect for a lot of members.

DEpointfive0 · 01-09-2014, 11:12 AM

Research, no way!

falconfixer · 01-09-2014, 11:18 AM

So this thing is back on the rails? at least for now?

I was told "bitches will be trippin" and "da panties will hit the flo" when i roll up in a 370. In what manner/fashion do i need to "roll up" for said behavior to occur?

Looks like that's a "no"

Justice97 · 01-09-2014, 11:56 AM

Maybe if you changed the title.

No one likes their questions being called DUMB.

To make a thread title "DUMB questions answered," and expect someone to ask a question they feel is NOT DUMB is DUMB.

I have NO DUMB questions, so why would I even look at this thread seriously.

Maybe "quick questions answered" or "opinions and info," but to think you can make a catch all thread is silly. We are allowed to post new threads, so we don't have to go through 595 pages of nonsense or questions that we have no desire to know the answers of. If you don't want to answer the questions on a new thread, then don't answer. Eventually at page 150 or so someone will revert to did you try search.

What people eventually start to feel is "so my question is dumb, but when you asked it 3 years ago it wasn't, that's arrogant."

Nice try, but fail IMO.

Elan · 01-09-2014, 11:40 AM

DE, I think the "dumb" in the title of this thread threw people off. Perhaps it were a more friendly "common questions", people would have been a little more seriously. I do apologize for any nonsensical questions!
