Default Toxic Community

What a toxic bunch yall are. Flame the noobies bla bla been there done that.

I posted a hello a few weeks back and some arrogant oldhead just asks me if I posted to meet classifieds requirement.
Thread devolved but I come back a week later and it's deleted?

Gee I wonder why this forum is so dead.
Lurking for a day or two is all it takes to see this place is full of angry, arrogant individuals eager to troll with a mod staff that's behind it.

Inb4 delete/ban; shame folks can't be nice to each other.

Its funny that you say this forum is dead. This is one of the only forums I know of that is still going pretty strong. Most forums that existed with no quality control have lost all of their members because their member's shitposting fits in well with social media and reddit and whatnot. What you perceive as toxic is really just quality control. Get your head out of your *** and this is a great forum.

If you want to waste time posting questions without searching, go to facebook and get shitty answers to shitty questions.

This is a very special forum and this is how you need to think of it. I picture it as a core group of individuals sitting around drinking expensive whiskey with Cuban cigars. To get into the group you need to put your time in doing lots and LOTS and LOTS of reading and homework and contribute to the forum. Then one day after you have proven worthy maybe you will be invited to the core group.

Yo I asked zero questions; way too lazy for that and plus it's usually answered + a google away.
Quality control my ***, I said hello in a meet and great subforum; that's kind of what its for.

Oh wait no I forgot it's for mod-backed trolling and shitposting.

It's not like I was walking to the table and taking a seat or even expecting one.

I waved through the window as I walked by on the sidewalk. Getting the middle finger back is always cool.

- N00b makes intro thread (as recommend)
- Shitposting engaged (as is standard)
- Thread devolves (as usually happens)
- Thread deleted (as it probably should have been)

Seems like top quality control to me, no problem found?

Welcome to the forum. We're generally a pretty welcoming bunch, believe it or not. If you spent any significant amount of time lurking here you'd know that picking on the n00bs is tradition. Kinda like polio or rickets. If you are up for no nonsense technical and mechanical discussion, feel free to stick around, you might learn something. If you don't like it here, go back to r/Miata or one of the many, many Facespace Miata circlejerks. Don't **** in our pool just because you don't like the flavor of the water.

Clearly they're reasonably friendly here. My intro thread starts by saying my car is supercharged, and then goes on to admit it's the kit most reviled by all of MT.net. How much flack did I catch? None.

Sorry you didn't get kitten kisses when you walked in the door. Maybe read the threads you were told to read before posting.

Since you mention it, every time I log in, I've always noticed at the bottom of the forum where it shows "most active users online at once", it usually shows a time within the last few hours to one day. I think the reason for that is the low SNR here.

OP the type of guy who goes to Miata Club on Facebook and asks what kinda oil everyone is using ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
