Nothing (hardly) new under the sun here.

Heck, not even any cool cars for sale on the site either.

i actually think that is part of the moderation issue here. a few trolls moved in and yelled at all the newbs for asking questions. with a welcome like that a lot fewer new guys joined, and most of the old guys got tired of all the bull******************** and left. killed the forum.

Yep. Reason why I mostly lurk and only post when I have something to add. Surprised one of them hasn’t curmudgeoned up this thread yet. I joined my first Internet forum in 1998 and have seen guys like that try to ruin **************** ever since.
