I personally have quite a few hobbies and have found forums like this one to be a fantastic tool to feed my passion(s). From airplane ownership and maintenance, boating, Frequent Flyer tips and tricks, and of course many different automotive communities; the wealth of information is AWESOME. It is so frustrating when personalties feel the need to take precedence over information which is truly why these communities were developed and IMHO grow and thrive. When some use them for personal gain (whether that be financial or self gratification) it is usually the downfall of what was an otherwise invaluable tool for other enthusiasts.

I personally have been driven away from contributing to some forums over the years or worse became a one way user (read taker) instead of a mutual contributor because it would seem that a "Vocal Minority" of members seem to be more interested in being right and hijacking threads then getting to a right answer for the group.

I've been involved with small intimate communities (like the Acura NSX) forum that had members from 21 to 60 and age was never a differentiator it was MATURITY and this forum was awesome......just like MBWorld.

I for one truly appreciate the help and feedback that is provided here and hope that we stay that way and don't drive folks away or worse (IMHO)....... drive behavior of folks that would otherwise contribute to stay mute and just take....which is a sure way for any community to eventually wither and die.

Thankfully I'm just barely older than the texting generation. It's not even the lulz, omg's or rofl's that bother me, it's the consistent need for them to post on here like a text message. The "ur" "y" along with the run-on sentences and lack of punctuation drive me nuts. What are we, 12?

If anyone is interested in following Full Throttle's build, it appears that he will be posting here http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w211...rocharged.html

MANY guys doing worse,check Juicce63's posts to see a real ******* that gets away with stuff that would not be tolerated on ANY forum.

Is it a Mercedes or a Mustang forum?

Perhaps you could enlighten us on Josh's transgressions with some thread links He's one of the most helpful members here, btw.

I met Josh at the dragstrip for the first time a few weeks back and he's a cool dude who is ready to share alot of good knowledge, no bs there. I think most people have a mean or tough internet side to them. I have at least a dozen anonymous accounts in other forums or sites that I use to tear certain people apart when there is a need to. This site is pretty good in comparison to other forums but every so often I get highschool flashbacks while reading some threads.

I must agree with this response

Benz-O-Rama

Effin' Rock......

I don't know why the C63 guys are always being targeted. I am sure there are some people that talk crap and what not, but I frequent the forum and don't really see what they are talking about. The last instance I remember someone acting stupid in the C63 forum was a E55 driver. Not that I care what he says, but it's just and observation.

F'in Rock... but these are indeed not real quotes.. Just dont want anyone to truly believe you Rock- the newbies dont know you... yet.

emoving

Hey Rock, but I sent you a PM about your RS4.

fwiw, that thread was between a C63 owner and a M3 owner. Mthis and Pencil Geek aka AMG ROFL. Two owners of competing brand cars using nicks that provoke animosity.

One day after I total my CLS and I am dragged throught the mud by broke 1? Really?

Rock comon buddy the new guys likely believe those qoutes to be real.. Oh the horror.

Broke , dude time to drop it man. Your better than that

emoving

Daum! I cant believe they totalled it! It looked bad but not that bad. Sounds like some serious structural damage!

Vic55

Thats why I posted what I did... Rock is creative but only 10% understand him and those are some pretty messed up peeps

juicee63

I am not sure what the total will be but it shows no class at all to talk crap about me when I just had an accident.

Sorry to see your car like that and esp after all you went through with it and MBUSA a while back.

Fight hard for a good settlement.

Broke1 is still sore for people questioning his track and dyno data and he's picking on you for it all Nobody paid any attention to it, so no biggie. Although Rock's post is pretty funny

JonMBZ

lol im no newbie and he got me. That's not very nice! I remember everyone pulling together to help juice out I was surprised that he would be talking like that, but I never thought someone would take the time to do that sorry dude!

Yacht Master

10% thats pretty generous,
Are you mad that Rock told everybody the benefit of owning a Porsche over a GTR, in terms of inches?

Vic55

Not at all, where do you think he got the measurements from
