Because they've answer that same question more than 10 times, it gets old its like Alzheimer.
Imagine if you had to explain the same thing to 10 people or more, it takes patience and understanding.
As long as they stay active here that question will keep on getting askd, on the other hand, NEWB's please try not to sound like an idiot and rethink your question before you post.Originally posted by deevergote

As has been said before, this place a vast source fo knowledge. These cars have been around for 20+ years, there are literally THOUSANDS of members and this site has been around for damn near a decade. Im almost 100% certain in saying that any issue--ANY ISSUE--you have, has either happened to someone else, has been discussed, made aware, brought up, fixed, re-fixed, re-hashed, re-discussed and re-fixed again.
To put it simply, searching before asking will give a better response from said old members. Spend 5 minutes--five ACTUAL minutes, searching your problem. Search posts AND thread titles. If, at that point, you cant find an answer, then ask. But still, be prepared to be met with some sort of "sarcasm". Noobs dont know that these things have been discussed but they're also, more than likely, not very good at searching. Some of us are. Saying you searched and came up empty, will let us know that you at least put forth an effort. Some people come on and want to be spoon-fed. That's what us "old guys" dont like. We werent spoon-fed and you wont be either, lol.

They're sarcastic but most of the time people are:
A) Being lazy and not searching.
or
B) They right like dis nd ppl dnt wnna try 2 figure out wat they r tryin 2 say.Comment

I do kinda understand what he is trying to say. ANY question you have about our accords you CAN find it in here or on you tube. I dont think you can ask a question that has not been answered here or in you tube. In a perfect would there would of been more DIY on here about our rides. I have to say there are some a**holes here that do take it to the extreme on answering a simple question. I have asked qustions here and if i dont see a reply in 2 days i would just delete it just because so it wont use up space.Originally posted by 10thAnnivCB7 View PostComment

What's a old timer?
I don't think there's many of them left around. If they answer your Q's your very lucky....its mostly noobs answering noobs and there sarcastic because they really don't know eather. Just saying...... old timers have a completely different style and likely don't see the point in tucked styles ie they get sarcastic or tired of the same questions...

I'm going to answer this because I feel that this post is directed toward me.
I'm beating a dead horse by restating the previous site veterans' sentiment but 90% of the issues that we have with new people who need help could be resolved very easily. I'll use "you" when I'm referring to new people but don't take it to mean you, the OP, specifically. It just helps my comments flow better.
You get upset with us because your requests for help were met with an attitude instead of us re-explaining an issue thoroughly that we or others have already covered in the past. Those previous explanations don't magically disappear after a few days, they stay forever. They are always searchable, assuming the original members titled it properly.
You have to realize when you are new that this forum that you step into doesn't exist solely to help out new members. It's a community of enthusiasts who have poured a lot of time into building this site up into what it has become. Have you ever looked for a forum for a '93-'97 Nissan Altima? Sure, there might be one out there, but I guarantee you it doesn't operate like this one or have ANYWHERE NEAR the information. This site has become what it has because of a founder who was a true enthusiast, a member who didn't want to see something he loved dissolve and a lot of feedback and input from those of us who have been here for a while. Certainly newer people make contributions also. But a select few brought you what you have today. For that reason, you must respect that they have already answered these issues MANY times before. While the issue is new to you, being on here and having the ability to ask is a privilege. It's a privilege that's continually earned by following an etiquette or protocol of the site. We expect you to search. We expect you to be able to deduce an explanation for your issue yourself with the information you've gathered from that search. If for some reason your circumstance necessitates you make a new thread then we expect you to be thorough in your explanation and coherent in your typing. Yes you're new, but the concepts we get upset about have nothing to do with you being new. It typically has to do with you being lazy or disrespectful.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment
