RE: The solution to our noob woes?
If by PWing u mean post whoring?? i don't think it would be a problem. This isn't something like a sports forum where every1 has an opinion. When people ask a question they usually get responses from those who know what theyre talking about.

Yep the zine is where a lot of knowledge stems from. Seems like evvveryone is BT over there, and they have the knowledge to back it up. Cleaner forum, more mature members, etc. Still I only have approx 120 posts there and almost 1800 here.
The 30 post requirement may promote PWing tho.

bamavant... Do yourself a favor... Stop posting, return as a new user/member name in a week or so and we can pretend this never happend.... Like a bad dream. Everyone makes mistakes, sometimes you just need to change your identity to correct them because you are in too deep.

there should be a search bar at the top of every forum, rather than just a small link at the top thats hardly noticeable to someone who has just joined the forums. i didnt notice it for at least the first 5 times i visited the site...

Just need a one sticky topic, maybe something like this;
"NEW MEMBERS CLICK HERE FIRST BEFORE YOU START A TOPIC"
Most of the discussions, you're about to post, are already has been solved
Instead of start a topic and wait for people to answer, you can basically use search button to find what you are looking for because it has already answered.
there are some common questions you might want to ask first;
such as "I want Blow off Valve" / "What is DV" / "Which Chip should I get" / "What is K04" / "What is N75 J&H" / "Are 19" Rims big for my car"
To keep our forum clean, please use search button before you start a new topic.
There are many members are joining each day to forum to ask these questions.
We do not want to see 3 topics about BOV, 5 topics about Chip, 8 topics and K04 in the first page of A4 forum.
Because of these topics, we always miss important questions to answer b/c there going to second or third page so quick.

nothing wrong with it the way it is so come on guys I find the noob questions entertaining and if I don't want to answer them I dont its that simple, not every one is so versatile with how to use site searches so it can be daunting for a noob to ask a question without feeling they are going to get fried (the simplest question deserves an answer) but we all know when we are being stiffed
