When person A says "Hi guys I just bought a boxster",

and then immediately person B says "pics or it didnt happen", then person B is saying they don't believe that person A truly owns a boxster and is, in fact, accusing them of lying about their claim of owning a boxster.

So a new member comes in to say hello, hasn't really gotten to know the community yet and doesn't take the time to post pics with their first post. One of their first interactions with the community will be dealing with a bunch of strangers accusing them of being a liar. really fun time.

WTF is your problem???
Trolling you???

You are reading far more into this than there is. It's all in good fun and part of welcoming someone. "Picks or it didn't happen" is an expression, not an attack. No one is calling anyone a liar.

As most here are enthusiasts, we like to see other peoples cars. To my knowledge, no one has been ostracized or kicked out of the forum for not posting a pic

And in any case I did not call you a liar and you come at me???

Of all the things to get your knickers in a twist. Maybe you should back off of the caffeine a bit?

I'd say you may want to work on communicating in general........

I guess you better. There are a lot more of us old farts on this forum than you think.

Oh yeah, it was guys our age who invented this whole interweb thing, BTW, so implying your generation has all the savvy when it comes to 'communicating on the internet' you just show how little you really grasp about 'communicating' The medium doesn't entitle people to be rude, sexist, racist or ageist.

Talk in here like you would if you were face to face. It is amazing how gracious people can be.

could not have said it better myself ........

In addition to inventing the internet, most of the technology that is in use today was invented by us old farts as well. I was using e-mail back in the late 70's, before it was even called e-mail
