What did I do now?
Forums (not this one) are full of entitled jerks nowadays.

Is this smoking meat forum for bbq, or something more intimate?
It's funny I'm on a few car forums with plenty of idiots but I couldn't stand any of the bbq forums. I own multiple grills/smokers and have been into it for a long time. The most annoying part are the schills for brands like Rec-Tec.
Youre as bad at taking compliments as an Applebees bartender
I joined years ago when I got my first pellet grill. I only just read the tips and recipes, and never posted..
Hahahahahaha, I knew what you meant, you monkey butt.
You must laugh at all of them. Twitter is the best. Just don’t take most of it seriously. Car or any other forum.

I have to agree with you there brother.
Now, this might upset some of you old school SVTP members, but back in the day I didn't want anything to do with SVTP because when I would "visit" here a lot of 03/04 Cobra owners thought they were elitist's or something. Lot of shit talking and guys acting like other people were beneath them. I really didn't like the attitude around here at all.
So, I decided not to join. Then when I purchased my 03 Coupe I decided to give it another try here. It seemed things had calmed down and people were more civil to each other (not sure if owners matured or the A holes sold their Cobras and moved on).
However, even then I ended up getting into it with a member who is still active today. Then after that, I wouldn't say we are best friends, but we are civil towards each other now. I guess it was like when the new kid in school gets into a fight with another kid then they become friends? LMAO!!!!
Well, for those of you who know about me and my contributions to SVTP, now I love it here. I feel like an accepted member and get along with everyone.
As of today I am only a member on two sites. SVTP and VMF (I believe @cj428mach and @Bdubbs are also on both sites). I really enjoy both and read everyday and contribute at least every few days.
It started out rocky for me around here, but you guys have grown on me and are GREAT now LOL......
I am currently in a discussion (dispute) on a FB page for my freaking Buick station wagon about transmission fluid change intervals... It is unfortunately much more civilized than here. So many people know so much that is demonstrably unknown... Like a bunch of covid mask wearers.
I really appreciate this site for the depth of automotive knowledge of its members, and the entertainment of the non automotive sections as well. I also appreciate the fact this site is privately owned. It's the only site I belong to, no FB or any "social media" either. It's good to be surrounded by other patriotic red blooded Americans! No blue or pink haired Karens is a plus! Definitely enjoyed my time here.
The only thing Facebook groups are good for are buying parts. I try to stay on the forums but don’t have much to contribute.
I’m on a few mustang forums (07gts197) and two for panthers (crownvicnet and grandmarqnet) and really have had good experiences. I don’t want to see forums go belly up. Some forums, like grandmarqnet, have a lot of detailed knowledge for the box body panthers. It’s invaluable since those cars aren’t exactly collectors cars.

Go forth and spread the word of SVTP to the lost souls of the internet.
I hope i am not dating myself but y’all’s remember Chilton Total Car Care Books? Back in the day you had 4ish popular options, chilton/ forums / magazines/friends / local shop. I feel the vast of wealth and people with 1st hand experience was enormous. Due to having to do it yourself and actually have to read and figure it out.
Then YouTube and social media pop up and now everyone is a ASE cert mechanic, premium tuner, or car expert.
Reality is probable between broke Joe in parents basement & an over zealous backyard tent joe (on the spectrum of car knowledge). Digging deeper into Channels and peoples media links it’s becomes apparent.

Wasn't there a series of car care manuals by Haynes too?
You can't easily search Facebook posts, you can go on a forum to search and read threads from 20 years ago.
One bad thing about forums is a lot of the old photos and videos are gone because the sites they were hosted on are no longer up.
Another thing i don't like about Facebook groups is there are so many. On this forum you have a sub-forum for every topic so you can read it all in one place.
And on both you have the same problem of newbies coming in and asking the same dumb shit every other day (has anyone put 315's on their car, how can I lower my car 2", how much HP will I make if...). These days nobody wants to search they just make a post on Reddit asking a question when they could Google that shit in two minutes.

We actually made an effort to save all those hotlinked pics years ago. We managed to preserve the vast majority of them. That was neither cheap nor easy, but was an investment for the future of the platforms we cover.
Repetitive simple questions drives away knowledgeable members.
Yes. That bring back memories. How could I have missed that one!
Some have said that the Haynes manuals were easier to understand/follow than the Chilton ones.
Oh, the great Photobucket ****ing?
Credit where credit is due, you fellas are quick and constantly on top of shit.
