I-Club Lameness

Lately there has been a lot of complaining about members who post things about other people, and a lot of negativity surrounding local automotive shops. It's too bad really. Everyone has a right to voice there opinion of course. I just hope that this site, which is heavily supported by Bay Area folks, doesn't turn into a forum for a bunch of drama queens. If we're going to come together online and rally around the cars we love, lets do it in a positive way when possible. Everyone can complain, few people take part in creating something positive.

Balanz you suck! J/K I completely agree! I hate drama, but I haven't really noticed too much of that around here. Could you find some examples to help us know more about what your talking about?

That's normal. If people want to speak, we let them. It was never a problem and will never become one. It will only become a problem, if I start stop people from speaking their mind.

As long as its normal thats cool. You guys have been around much longer than me. I just dont like the shop-wars thing especially. Moderators do a pretty good job of running things as far as I've seen, and free speach is bomb too. Just trying to encourage people to think positively.

Well, a while back there were some underminings and a bunch of drama. I only see it continuing as the community grows. Some people on this board are cool, others need to stop thinking they're above everyone else. Most of the Subie members I meet with at different Nor Cal locations are pretty awesome though. Hence why I always go back.

There's always someone who's going to argue with another's opinion.

i kind of agree with balanz...this regional forum is fraught with drama. the only thing i disagree on is that the drama has always been here and is not a recent trend. LOL.

stick around and another "series" will come up...
