Heh. But seriously, couldn't y'all see the value in my imploring folks to use the "search" function, rather than starting new threads about stuff that got covered into the ground ("35/45", "gas mileage", "break-in", "what we paid", etc.)? I wasn't kidding when I said I must have read fully half of the 40,000 posts before I bought my FX- you just don't want surprises before you drop $48Gs on a car!CL2FX said:I have to do a search (haha)
I did exactly the same thing. Kenny was one of the few people there who had something useful to say.CL2FX said:After seeing Kenny get the boot I decided to register here
Hey Kenny, if everyone comes over here, you won't have to worry about that for a good long while since there isn't enough historical content to search on :wink:kcrudup said:Heh.

Ouch! :twisted:pjo1966 said:you could always scream at them to do a search over at FA before asking a dumb question here!![]()

Too true. There's a lot of good info. posted there that need not be repeated. As long as they can keep ot together over there, it's still a valuable archive.pjo1966 said:you could always scream at them to do a search over at FA before asking a dumb question here!![]()
I love this idea... that way a thread doesn't go off-topic, and unlike a PM war, we can still grab a bag of popcorn & watch.Next, I think we need to have a "virtual boxing ring" section here and any time somebody gets into it, thay can move there and hash it out instead polluting the original thread. Then we can all watch the carnage as spectators and place a few bets on the side!
Excellent idea. So when do you get started? :wink:As for the local hangout, we should stage a mass exodus. Somebody needs to write up a form or chain letter and make up a PM tree to divy up to those willing to participate. Then we can just PM everybody there, tell them to pass it on and have everybody jump ship on a set date.
I don't mind PMing people if someone would help write something up. I think it needs to be fairly "PC" in it's intent and wording so if not interested, they wouldn't feel obliged to complain to admin about it. I think the majority of us here are long time core members of the FX forum there, so it would be nice to include a list of our user names, state our purpose, and make a general invitation and encourage them to pass it on. I don't think it's really fair to exclude anyone, either. My only concern is for new members who might find FA before this site.particlefx said:Excellent idea.
