Subject: Re: Why did CF ban Andy again?!!! by bogus on 2013/2/19 18:10:41 I'm with you, Marcus... I stop over at DC and CAC from time to time, but both have dead C4 sections, and even worse, their "knowledgeable" aren't... Their collective brain trusts are weak. Same with CF. DC was sold off a couple of years ago, but Patrick did it right... for anyone who had paid him to be a "lifetime" member, was offer a FULL REFUND. As I understand it, not many took him up on it, due to the public way he handled the sale and the ethical way he offered to handle the lifetime members. CAC folks are nice, and they have a lot of info there, just light traffic. I still think this is one of the most, if not most, technically astute Corvette sites on the web. VetteMOD is VERY engineering centric, they build their own stuff, which is VERY impressive, but not the same kind of assistance we can provide the average owner. Know what I mean? Not everyone has a lathe, Bridgeport and welding equipment. Neat info, but not very accessible to the average enthusiast. Corvette Anonymous appears to be very social... small group, more club like. From what I have seen, a nicer, older group. What I have observed is limited because the site is "private." Smoken Corvette's is, in my personal opinion, everything bad with the hobby... at least on the surface... let me qualify... there seems to be an overage of bling, rather brash and loud, but lots of good tech under there. The problem is that many people will be blinded by the bright lights and miss the good info. The reason this site is rather plain looking isn't because I don't want bling, I do have a little...  I want it so it's READABLE. The old white back ground on black text is still the best for reading.And we have a damned GREAT core of members, willing to do most any major task and do it well. Engine pros, road course rats, drag racers, street/touring fans... yea, we have the best of the best here, I think. I do want more members, yes, but I wand only those that will add to the discussion in intelligent ways... It's not just knowing something; it's asking the right question in the right manner and then explaining what was done to fix it. One recent newbie comes in, asked a question, apparently didn't like our suggestions, implied he got it fixed and didn't tell us how. I call that ass a tool... and if he ever has the balls to come back, I will call him a tool to his face. In fact, I email him and called him a tool... his snarky attitude wasn't needed nor appreciated. |
