my .02(if anybody cares). i've been on here a couple years now and bought my second yaris partially because i discovered what a valuable resource this was after buying my first! as stated before, this forum is pretty tame compared to others i've encountered and that's why i still visit. i hear the horror stories from my friends on hondatech, etc. that make me appreciate this site so much! i would like to thank the mods we do have for keeping order(and still letting us have 'some' fun ). yeah, maybe we could use more for the spam, but i really don't notice all that much - and that's a testament to the hard work they do(IMHO)!
rep points are silly because(as again already stated) most of us 'regulars' already know who is full of knowledge and who is full of....it. heck, get rid of post counts for that matter. i actually like the 'off topic' area because sometimes you need a break from 'will it rub?' or 'know your oil' threads. it's sad to see valuable members leave, but that is life and sometimes people need a change of scenery. things get slow every now and then too, but there's exciting stuff around the corner also(see garms engine build, intake manifold updates, or just the extremes folks are going to mod our wonderful, little cars! |

hahaha. Yeah, although I find that some members are hostile when it comes to new folks asking questions, I have heard that Honda forums (excluding FF) is pretty bad. Heck, even FF gets mad at their members when they act like some other Honda forums. hahaha.

As someone who is almost completely car illiterate, a wiki would be great to save me the embarrassment of asking things like "what does LSD stand for?" Rather than find out the hard way after 4 days of seeing the term used so many times that someone finally posted the un-acronym version.
This may not be the best example of a simple question easily answered from a wiki but it is 2AM and I have work soon so I'm pretty tired =) But my point remains! A wiki would be great to reference things like possible tire size / rim sizes that fit with the yaris as well as speaker sizes that work and stuff like that that will never change. Overall my YW experience has been an amazing learning and eye-opening experience into the car world but there's definitely room for improvement. |

As far as the "rep points" idea, I am not completely married to it. Please post some ideas on the subject if you have them! Quote:

All I can say is that I have made some new, and might I add good friends on this forum. That being said we are in need of help and I would gladly donate any of my circuits or gears if it would help.(If you catch my meaning) I miss YW of days gone by. I'd love to see it brought back to it former glory. This forum weighed heavily in me even buying my YARiSin the first place. I know that I have not been as active as I once was in part do to real life holding me back, but also due to some of the concern mentioned in this thread. I'm rambling but I'm back for good (I never really left) and I will do what I can to help.

I don't post often do to reasons TK-421 has voiced. I try to post valuable information as much as possible and have been flamed by people with 1236987346987 posts because they use the forums for discussions that can be handle via IM or PM.
Why not start a new forum. I know that's a tall order with all the info that has been accumulated on here but it seems like the only solution at this point. Look, VitzBoy and YarisBueller have not even responded publicly. If new forum is started with new Admin everything from banners working (tire rack discount comes to mind) and a wiki can be built up by people that care. I was on this forum for almost year before I got my yaris. This forum was a big reason why I got a Yaris. Everything I have purchased to upgrade or repair my yaris was found on Yarisworld. Maybe I could earn that third star on a new forum that rates by content and not post count. I'm not voting either because I don't think admin gives a shit. |

Need more mods, and mods that should act like mods.

The Mods do a great job here with the tools they have to work with.
I just think they deserve more tools if they have to manage the forums.
