I just wanted to post a big thanks to all the guys on this forum. This is a much friendlier places for Subbie newbies like myself. ***Start rant****I swear every time I go on NASIOC I get irritated by some jackass on there that wants to fill up the number of posts he has with some kind of smart ass comment. I am so sick of reading "do a search" or "read the book" or "read my FAQ". At this point when I do a search and find relavent threads to something I am interested in all I see is people telling the person to search or look for FAQ's...That is such a dipshit thing to say. They take up the same amount of time to type that that could have been used being helpful and answering the question. ***End rant*** So, to all the frequently helpful people on here (don't want to mention names as I have had so many people I might miss one or two) THANKS!!! You guys make things a lot easier and are soooooo much more helpful and more friendly!
NASIOC is a good source of information. There are a lot of cool and knowledgeable people there. However, in the recent years they have been out numbered by people who are just jerks. I am sure it must be difficult to use our level of moderation on a site as big as NASIOC. Anyways, I'm glad you like it here
Yes, you are very right Mike....there are a few people on NASIOC who just don't have the patience to try to explain things to someone who is new to the Subaru community. That is the why our forums differentiate them to others, because it seems like people on our forum truly care and want to help...very little or no drama also...which is always good. It was great meeting you at BP on Friday...Your bugeye rocks!!!. It always is nice to know that there is a safe haven for Suby owners... Mark
I use iwsti.com for most of my searches, if there isn't enough information, then i serach through Nabico
have not seen that one yet. Thanks for the alternate site. I am still very happy with the answers I get on here. Even the smart arse ones I realize are just in fun...such as above, lol.
nasioc has some really great info out there you just have sort through all the "do a search" posts and all the irrelavent threads out there.
Oh I am not debating that there is some god stuff on there. It has just come down to everyone saying do a search for any questions out there. I have asked a few and got the do a search even after searching and not finding crap. Or better yet, the other day I got "read the manual" on a question that is not something contained in the manual. Here it seems even if I ask something that could probably be found after a couple of hours serching on nasioc I at least get an answer in stead of SEARCH!!!
I think that you will always run into those kind of problems on a board that is the size of NASIOC, the ratio of people that know what they are talking about to people that pretend that they know what they are talking about goes down. On the other hand, a lot of the time the questions getting asked are pretty retarted and have already been covered in the FAQ or in a previous post. The people posting even know it, you can tell with threads like..."Another Stupid BOV question", and then they go on to say..."I know this has already been covered but which BOV is better?" It is no wonder people get tired of it. But hey, wasn't this a thread about how much this board rocks!, only been here a week, you guys are great over here. ;-)
Oh yeah, and you're right, this place rocks. Way more newb friendly than NASIOC. People here seem to be able to keep their patience or at least bite their tongues a lot longer than the nasioc guys. That forum is WWWAAAYYYY bigger than this one though so it is all just a matter of averages... More people=more assholes.
