perhaps more mods to keep threads on topic? Maybe mods can be selected by how long they've been a member of the site *hint hint* Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I observed for a long time, then signed up then became a paying member, i went away for a while n came back and the place had changed...all in the space of two years, but the truth is its most of the more mature people who brought the good **** to the site, like the tech articles and answers to people problems, most of these people have vacated because of the immature people that now roam the site talking about how sick their dose is and posting vids of themselves rippin burnouts on dirt rds and doing various other stupid **** that brings the responsible people a bad name, look at the new laws for example...u know doseing can have your car takin off you...i bet you all want the sickest dose now dont you! the sites gone to **** because of the pointless threads and the general population of ****heads that are on it...just my thoughts! and as for people who ask questions and get bagged, get over it, go run to your mums and she can make u feel better about yourself ffs were not all children on this site, if you need to know something go buy a car manual, have a read, visit the various websites kickin around that explain exactly how things work, get your head around how ur car works from the engine, to the fuel system to the ignition system, at the end of the day its all simple to understand, and the cars weve chosen albeit theyre pieces of ****, but theyre are the most basic car going around, now im far from being a smart person, im not a mechanic and havent had any upbringing around cars, but somehow ive managed to assemble a full motor strip an engine bay to bare neccesities, shorten, extend wiring looms, hide things in gaurds, move a battery to the boot, replace k frames and various other bull****, all the while knowing that compared to some of the people i know im a ****in dumb ****, but im not afraid to get my hands dirty and use some initiative and i mean..why the **** would i want some bloke who doesnt own my car working on it, im the only person whos gonna do the job the way i want it and its free, and i come away from it learning something new everytime. now id put money on me being one of the ****s ur talking about, but at the end of the day the sites been ****ed for ages, all my mates who frequint here have noticed it too, the attitudes, ignorance and the maturity of some of the people on this site never ceases to amaze me and at the end of the day, not everyones going to get along with each other, everyones different and so are their attitudes, theres nothing u can really do! so the best thing to do is get over it..go make ur own vl doseing website where you and all your mates can talk about doseing in ur own little vl heaven...the world isnt perfect, and clearly the internet is going to be a reflection of that since the world can come together here, nothing you or i can do, but let it be and get on with our own lives! jarrod Couldn't agree more. All these people are complaining about not giving newcomers a chance when they come on and ask stupid questions? Why? I'd have no trouble at all bagging some dumb **** coming on here asking a ridiculous question like "how do i make my car dose" or something similar. And also morons who post comments trying to state facts, when they know absoultely nothing about what is being discussed. If you aren't 100% positive about something, i.e if someone has asked a question about it, DON'T FUCKING POST! There are simply too many sooks, and too many dumb ****s who don't take the time to look around whether it be in a car manual, through the phonebook etc to find out information regarding things to do with VL's looming around. Is it that hard to buy a gregory's and learn some **** by reading? Coming on an internet site asking questions that quite simply make you look extremely naive and pretty silly is no way to learn stuff, and in my opinion definaely shouldn't be defended. If you don't know what colour to paint your car, GO LOOK AT SOME ****ING PAINT CHARTS. If your car won't dose, SELL IT. If your an annoying over-represented person on this site who posts nothing but ****, **** OFF!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dammit ive been pigeonholed. forget that i am the dose king and the reigning emperor of the holy muzza empire. i wasnt talking about dose threads and anti-dose people!!!! i was just talking in general, things seem to blow up out of nowhere on this site in numerous threads (not just dose threads) and everyone gets reduced to name calling and personal attacks! and while i agree with you with the 50 posts a month by 13 year olds asking 'which bov will make my vl go stidododododo' yeah, that sh*t is annoying, im talking about people who ask stuff like.. oh i dunno... 'whats the difference between s1 and s2?' or 'will vk taillights fit on my vl?'.. stuff we all know and take for granted... it just seems to me that alot of members on this site (myself included at times) forget that a long time ago they were clueless teenagers just trying to learn as much as they could about their favourite cars. and i'm cool with answering all of the dosing related questions people have, and for the most part - most of you direct these people to me rather than bagging them, which is good, cause i dont mind at all... but if its not a dosing question, and its something that might be a bit difficult to find through a search, and you know the answer.. why not just tell them!!! but yes, i will cover any dose related questions. as the king is it my duty. :P

So true dix when i first came 2 the site i used to ask pretty basic questions to and i got jumped on it stopped me from posting for like a year then i got over it n realised that there are some **** heads on this site just think bout it guys when u were a teenager u didnt no everything so when people do come on n ask basic questions just answer it and if u dont wanna answer it then dont post its simple weneva i see someone get bagged out i try to answer there question as best i can even though i dont no much coz its dog making someone feel like sh1t just coz they might not be as knowledgeble as u but no matter wat we say its never gonna change so i guess i just wasted 5 mins of my precious life... meh im goin 2 make some toast cheers mark Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dix you make a damn good point. now before i say this to all parties involved no harm is intended. the site needs to be alot more strict on the crap that gets put on here, and if it is the moderators job then thats where it lies. i can also sympathize that yes the moderators do not get paid to patrol the threads, they do it cause they like it. and they do not spend 24 hours a day on this site either. we ALL have lives outside of ct. and yes it is hard trying to police so many d***heads posting **** about "dosing, wheres the best place to drag, or even better the damn police gave me a canary" and to the workshop wars that go on in this place, (which mind you have been controlled very well) its just not good enough. seroiusly who gives a flying f**k about "this w/shop and can you an extra 0.0001542rwkw for an extra $22000 (exaggeration). and if it's not done right you come on here and bagg the people who sponsor the site instead of resolving it with the place first.(they keep ct going). i admit i was caught out about w/shop wars when i first came on as everybody has had some bad experience one time or another, but you move on and learn from your mistakes. feel free to ask for direction with legal advice but keep the names of the site. Most of the people i have met from this site are genuinely ok with most people that are willing to learn. other people just post crap on here that gives us VL drivers a bad name. hell , i was once young and liked to race around everywhere but in this day and age especially in victoria you can't do that stuff anymore. i'm not saying to be a goody two shoes you can do what ever you want cause at the end of the day no car is legal, but if you get caught doing stupid things then you pay. even if you aren't you still might too. The members section is a good place to talk sh*t cause its not made public and more "mature" in a sense and guys if you need more moderators then i put my hand up to clean up some of this cr*p as their needs to be either a zero tolerance to posting crap for a pre determined time frame to get rid of all the cr*p and hopefully make this site respectable again. or if that is too harsh then i propose one warning and then a ban depending on the severity of it. if you want my resume` then pm me *jokes* cheers Nick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i agree with what you have said and like some have said, what you wrote isnt banworthy, quite the opposite id say... Quote: All in all, if someone **** dribbles, just ignore them and get a Moderator to bar their arses. i agree totally inflyt i occasionaly tell people to search or to take it easy when posting inapropriate stuff or if something is getting nasty, but i feel like a tool cos i dont even know them and cos i aint a mod i guess if a few others do it to we can be like mods but not we will just report their asses and encourage harmony amongst users of the site personally i think some people think they can go around acting like sick ****s just cos its the net and they think they car do what they like cos they wont physically get told off by a person. they also think that respect doesnt count for much on here but i do and im sure many other people do as well. i gues what im trying to say is that you should speak on here as you would to someone you are having a conversation with, treat them as if you were standing right next to them, at least then it should be more civilised, hopefully ps these little faces rock Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
