30 posts harder than I thought

[Dominic]

So I joined this site back in July, and I spend at least 5 hours a week on this site. I would really like to hit my 30 posts but EVERYTHING that I have ever wondered about this car has already been thouroughly discussed multiple times. And any post or reply I seem to think of, can usually be found somwhere else on the site already. How do I get my thirty posts without contributing to those who are not willing to search for themselves?

People still ask questions every day here.
Just be able to give them the right advice in those new threads, and you'll have no problem getting to 30 posts

There's no way around it, even if you joined in 2003 and only had 15 posts, you'd still have to get 30 posts to "Get out" of this section.

If you surf the new posts, it's not that hard.

If you know a thing or two about your car, or if you have a project planned, you could create a DIY thread. Even if you're re-doing something that was already covered, that's fine... as long as you improve upon the previous DIY!

If you make a DIY how-to thread here in the Beginner Forums that's worthy of being in the regular DIY section, it can always be moved to the regular DIY section by a moderator after you've earned your 30 posts.


You have the right idea, though. You're correct, most of what the average CB7 owner will do to their car has already been covered MANY times on this site.
Still, if someone asks a question, and you can answer it correctly (or add to an answer that someone else has given), that's still useful. If it's been asked and answered 100 times, now it's 101 times. That means for the next guy that's smart enough to search, he'll find yet another thread with useful information that might just answer his question!

As long as you don't make a ton of posts like "yeah, what he said!" or "that looks like a good idea!"... you'll be fine. And the simple fact that you made this thread shows that you seem to understand the types of posts we look for!

took me little over a year to I think to get to 30. I was in your same position. so I just didn't think much of it, since you can practically tear down and build your car without ever having posted ( yes I'm still amazed by that one guy).

best of luck

Take it from this guy. ^^^ He is the master at thinking of stuff to post. I’m almost 100% sure he set the record for fastest 1000 posts.

But post count isn’t everything. You can have 50,000 posts and still not know much or have just repeated what’s already been said.

Good luck with your 30 posts.

Yeah, you definitely don’t apply to what I said Deev, your word is golden to me. As are a few other like wherm and wed3k.

I really don't know very much, to be honest! I learn on here, just like everyone else. I just say the 5 things that I know over and over and over again

I learn a lot everyday on here. I’m retarded in a few areas but aside from that I’d like to say I’m retaining a lot.
