This forum is getting a lot worse in regards to this crap, I've met numerous people with nice e-series (in RL :geek: ) who said they wouldn't post any queries on boosted for fear of being flamed for "dumb questions" and in their opinion it wasn't worth the hassle of joining with the likely chance of not getting an answer and being told "vicfords.com"...

Well (and I'm speaking hypothetically here), in some cases it can depend on what the question/topic is...

A good question/topic can be asked/worded badly, and inversely a newb question/topic can be asked/worded in a non-newb way.

Why does every forum have to accomodate every single person ever born? There's enough forums dedicated to E-Series Falcons nowdays to have one of those E-Series forums catering to a niche. Trying to accomodate everyone is what fucked the E-Series section on AFF.

Yep. The whole reason this forum was created was to get away from the noobs asking how to change headlight fluid and fit altezzas.

see this is not exactly a car newb sort of forum.
as in alot of people go on a forum on a 1 time thing to find out how to replace the headunit with a stock headunit in their ea :P
where as a majority of people on this forum are more about modding.
it certainly is a different sort of forum.

in the case of one-offs, I've found that Fordmods is really useful for that kind of info.

That's a fair call Aaron. I dunno, I guess there's just an incestuous vibe going on around these parts sometimes.

And **** you colors boy, I thought I was rid of my Sunday hangover, but that shit just fucked with my head something chronic :P
