I hate you all, I am going to go post on Pirate, they won't do anything like this there!

i asked a question there once about my post count and had about 50 shitastic responses and one pm with the truth.

i dont believe i have posted since.

 

[SAMSET]

What the hell. The last two pages are like one big gay hug.

i was thinking the same thing. almost like late in a night of drinking, when you are looking at the stars, and the music is quieter, and you look at your buddy....




















then you kiss him



































































wait wha?

Yeah but in a beetle you can at least scratch your junk without getting your buddies at the same time...:shhh:

This place was shitty for news ALONG time ago when I car here. I left for along time because of that. I came back and hung around here and bought some parts and the people here is all that kept me here.

K "not sure why after meeting most of you" man

Stfu newb!

I rarely post over there, usually it is in chit chat about some topic they are talking about.

I'm more guilty than anyone else. I simply can't tolerate people asking questions on a forum that a simple web search would provide the answer to. I don't understand why you would ask a bunch of truck drivers, police officers and aircraft mechanics how to fix the flux capacitor on your delorean if Doc Brown posted an article about it you can find on a google search.

I used to get annoyed about people ask the same question over and over but remember the the XJ ended production in what 01? If people don't ask the same question from time to time what are we going to discuss? Rarely are there new and unique questions, why not just archive the technical forum and just have a series of "important" threads at that point.

If some posts a question and a response of "there is a search button" doesn't help anyone searching about the same subject in the future. I have ran across this multiple times when looking for info. It is not just on but on a bunch of other forums also.

no, you are a dbag :kissyou:

I have no legit argument haha

No shit! Bunch of softies. .!.. ..!.

I have been on pirate since I've been around . I rarely posted over there and even still don't most there much. Since 1999, I have around 500 posts there. Most of those are in the past few years since I have been involved with racing, prior to starting to race I had less than 50 posts in almost 10 years.

All that to say, I like my peps a lot better.

We don't need to become pirate.

Because the tech section on has 1.5 pages of stuff from 5+ years ago duh!!!!

That was one BIG reason I became red was for the tech section and was very dissapointed when I got to it. I definitely think it should be made a priority to make the tech section of the ELITE XJ forum better than what it is. I can almost gurantee that the way 95% of the people here found this place was because they were looking for info on their first XJ.

I would think paying someone a few bucks like Kastein to make a nice tech sticky section would be a VERY good idea for the appeal of the website and obtaining new membership.

EDIT: I just went and looked at the tech section and it does seem to have more in it than before. My apologies. There are definitely some things I think could be added to the section though.

I have ran in to this problem many times. i go to search, weather it be here or Google, and the 1st 10 links are people telling the OP to use search. i don't get it, why not just answer the question if you know it, if you don't keep scrolling or if you just don't feel like giving out the info you searched for then don't. telling someone to search? maybe they tried that... in most threads looking for advice i seem to notice a 2 or 3 good answers to 20 either shit remarks or "go search"

You mean like the FAQ section?

There used to be a FAQ Team,
Then there was just Johnny.
Then just myself.

The groundwork is laid. What's there is catalogued and searchable.

It's an open spot that should be filled by somone, or a group of folks.

 

[kastein]

Wow. The honesty and truth behind this statement is huge.

Maybe we are/have become the elitist jeep club that we so often need to defend? I think we all need to read this quote and do some soul searching and try to represent naxja like it should be.

We should be able to ask dumb questions, jeep related or not and get honest answers. How many times do we run to ken stein with questions that we don't know. Same situation as how to cut a gutter. Just because we know the answers, doesn't mean everyone does.

I usually end up with a few texts/calls a week at this point. It's kinda funny because half of them I don't know the answer.

I don't do this for money. If I did, I'd be broke :jester:

I've been considering throwing together a quick "every year split I can think of on every part of the XJ" thread that people can add to and update but every time I consider it, I end up busy as hell or realize I don't know half of what I should before starting.


My opinion on the whole mess is that things are about how they were attitude wise when I joined. Back then there was a whole different set of tech section nerds, some helpful, some dbags. Joe Peters, winterbeater, ehall, and a couple I can't quite remember usernames for on the really helpful side, guys like RCP Phx on the dbag side...

I don't go in the tech sections as much as I used to simply because I don't have that kind of free time anymore. Back then I was working as a test/validation engineer and sometimes simulations would take 4, 5, 6, even 8 hours to run before I had any kind of results to work with. These days I quite literally am designing all the electronics, embedded systems, and wiring harnesses for a flying car company, so I basically am on my feet and/or doing actual work damn near all day.

One of my biggest complaints too. It doesn't take any longer to type the answer out. Or better yet, spend 5 seconds....since you seem to be a search master yourself and post a link to another thread with the answer.

At least someone got it. I was being funny, trying to put some humor in this thread after it got serious.

I made a new recipe for my apple pie. It's a bit stronger and gave me bad gas. I'm taking a half gallon canoeing with some other members this Saturday. If anyone will be in the Mohican area they are welcome to join us!
