You know that punk attitude that you find on alot of boards with young members? That's what I encountered when I first joined. It was all about who beat what on the street and noone could answer a tech question. I decided that wasn't for me since I had another board that was my primary one. People have enough conflict and strife in their lives without having to deal with internet drama. Again, I DIDN'T COME HERE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS OR INSULT ANYONE. I apologize to those of you who took it that way.
I'll be on my merry way now. To those of you who DO know me. I'll see you at TMS.
Yes, sadly I know it very well, I think we all do, but running from it does not fix it, sticking around and making it a better place does though. All the punks get very tired very quick when they are ignored, and then all us Stangers win in the end, hell, we even have some Chevy guys in here, so a little tolerance can go a long way. If you had another board great, I'm glad that worked out with little or no effort on your part, we feel this place is worth fighting for though, so we ride out the occasional newbie punk issue, and weed out the good from the bad, by the looks of most of us, the ugly are also welcome
. If we all ran at first site, this entire website would be punks running around typing
Boobies on all the threads and it would have noting to do with stangs at all, just the horses ass.
Look at it this way, let's pretend you own a restaurant, a guy comes to the desk and you give him a big "Good afternoon sir, how may we help you today at chez J-pony?" and he says "Yeah, I came here a year ago and I freaking puked for a week, your food was rotten so I didn't pay, but I'm hoping this time I enjoy it" how would you feel exactly? Would you be more inclined to treat him like a king or wiz in his soup?
We would be happy to have you if you want to make things better, but don't cry over spilled milk if you plan to walk around it so someone else can clean it up when you return.
