I've said it b4 and I'll say it again. I enjoy this site because I love all American Muscle Cars. And yes I'm a member at a few Mustang Forums. But seriously, don't you get tired of the same "our cars are the greatest!" BS? I for one love hearing unbiased opinions from drivers of the COMPETITION.. Who better to give it to you straight than the folks driving the rival car.. Brand loyalty is great, but it's when you get guys talking out of their butts and spewing nothing but nutt huggin opinions instead of contructive criticism just because they drive X brand car that totally ruins a great discussion.. I love that we have guys here that drive Chargers and Challengers. Mustangs and Maros. Vettes and Shelbys.. THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS SITE.. Is that really so hard to comprehend?

I'd like to point out that we are not so 'sensitive' to talking about competing cars that we want to squelch all conversation about it. Quite the opposite...we invited Mustangs, Challengers, and Corvettes, and any other driver who wanted to come to our first annual Camaro5Fest. We created a VERSUS section, an other cars/off topic section, and we (the moderators) personally enjoy some friendly competition and ribbing. What's been happening on this site, lately, however...is above and beyond what is acceptable. Our answer, was to pull all the incessant Mustang threads into one. To clean up our CAMARO site. Unfortunately...that meant some of the well-meaning threads and posters got shoved in there as well. A case of the few ruining it all. We regret it, but stand by the decision. The versus section, and the other cars/automotive section are for Camaro enthusiasts wishing to discuss other cars. Not xxxxxxx car enthusiasts wishing to talk about their stuff on our site. There IS a difference...and its this difference that defines the line we're trying to uphold to better serve 99% of the population of this site. EDIT: Here's a test for some of you that take offense at what I've said: Do you get irritated when you read many repetitive passionate, positive posts about the Camaro? If the answer is yes -- you probably don't belong here. Do you feel the need to correct how 'not' awesome our Camaro is when we mistype or ignore the 'facts'? If the answer is yes -- you probably don't belong here. Do you have zero or next-to-zero interest/passion for the Camaro? If the answer is 'yes', then you probably don't belong here. I'm the LAST person to turn someone away from Camaro5.com. We've worked too hard and love this place too much to not want to share it with others. It's our home. And when some people enter your home and insult your furniture, your kids, your walls -- you show them the door.... |

That's my point. That thread should have never been merged into the mega thread. It could have been a good discussion, as long as the trolling was kept at bay. Quote:

I understand the mega thread and respect the decision.
But to the outsider it looks like massive insecurity. |

I'm not offended, but I'll take your test. 1. No. I don't take offense to anyone making positive comments about their car, no matter the make. I only take offense when they make it personal, and attack my choice, what ever that may be. Then I fight back. 2. If I understand your question, then I probably don't belong here. I can't enter a discussion that's full of misinformation and lies. What's the point? There's nothing to learn. How "awesome" a car is, is kind of hard to quantify. Maybe I don't understand the question. 3. Definatley no. I have a lot of interest in the Camaro. I wouldn't be here if i didn't. I think it's an excellent car, that's just a few details from being perfect. I wouldn't waste my time here if I thought otherwise. I just want to see it get even better. So I'm not sure if I passed your test. But I'll stick around if you'll have me. |

It's all opinions and therein lies the problem. Sometimes folks take an opinion as a personal attack. Why is that. You like the IRS on your car and you have YOUR reasons. And really thats all that matters. Folks need to leave the bench racing at home. Good axample is the new vid out by MotorTrend of the 5.0 running against the M3.. A lot of folks(not all), instead of giving props, began to like usual call out the Mustangs faults ala SRA and what not eventhough the results were there for everyone to see.....

There's bashing on both sides. Then again, another problem, is that there were about 5 threads on that 5.0/m3 video. They were merged one after another, but you think people would get the point after the first one or two...The bad apples continue to be morons and post what they want without even thinking. There's two sides to every story. I like reading about all types of cars, but it just seems that because the mustang is the main rival that most people that are here for "other cars" are here for the mustang. That means that if the same percentage of people make new duplicate threads or take part in arguing, it's much more obvious. If you have one troll in the challenger crowd of say 5 people, and 5 trolls in the mustang crowd of say 25 people, it's viewed as 5 times as many mustang trolls. Hence the problem is bigger, but all the mods see are 5 trolls. Because there's so many trolls they have to deal with, I'm guessing they corral them by limited the area that the trolls go because there's one big consildated thread. According to the mods, the trolls don't venture out into camaro land and only stick to the mustang threads. They should assign one mod to just take out trolls left and right, so then we could have decent multiple topics about the mustang and we could go back to the way it was before all this bickering/squabbling happened

Booooosted.

IF ......... I were to ever join another car site, and I can't imagine why I would want to, but I can see an enthusiast of cars in general doing it, I couldn't see myself spending a lot of time defending myself on that other car site because I thought I were being sensored or picked on. I'd just leave.
Joe, great post. You may just be a bit more objective than me on this one. |
