CWLONGSHOT Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Guys we all deserve a big pat on the back. Especially Pete for providing us the platform to talk and shoot the $#!& here. I recently bought a little Mazda 323 for gas mileage back and forth to work. Less than a 20 mile round trip. Knowing what we have here, I did a search on a couple search engines and found a couple Mazda spec sties. I thought GREAT!!! Thinking of Comanche club only for Mazda's. WOAH was I ever WRONG!!! My very first post I was flamed BY A ADMINISTRATOR!!!! I gave it right back to him saying something along the lines of "Nice coming form an admin no less..." Then I got a slightly more civilized, albeit lame, answer. But now nothing. Seems no one responds to any of my posts. But you can see from the counters there is some activity from some people at least reading them. I started searches and find that most all new posters get the same treatment, short smart arsed answers. I am SO GLAD none of that nonsense happens here!! We have fun pass on good information. Doesn't matter if your a total no-ob or a seasoned pro. I just wanted to say I am proud to be a part of a great site like this. Cheers fellas, I tip my hat and raise my hand to all of you.

johnnyc Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Just curious. Was it imazda.com or clubprotege.com ? I was on those sites, but now I'm selling my Protege because the MJ is more fun to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The main thing you don't hear on this site is "Use the search Button". On this site someone will search for you and post the link. It takes just as long to answer as it does to post that lame response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Just curious. Was it imazda.com or clubprotege.com ? I was on those sites, but now I'm selling my Protege because the MJ is more fun to drive. clubprotege wasn't as bad... but my complaint is about mazda323performance.com. http://mazda323performance.com/forum/index.php?f=74 Not a friendly feel at all, very little participation no "family" feel at all. I have at least three open threads with no responces for days and days.... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenF350 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Truth be told, I rarely participate on most car web sites for the same reason. I usually only check them out for a little bit and don't need to go back for a month or so. Totally not the case w/ comancheclub, this site is highly addictive and makes me want to rescue more MJ's!!

Akula69 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Agreed. all you guys do a great job in answering questions... :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjcrazy09 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I know its getting repetitive but I also agree at the sincerity of this forum! Everyone on here is first class in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 well.........Image Not Found.................... :teehee: Well yes I most certainly agree, this be a good site and I feel as if I know everyone and as if we be in the shop having a few shooting the $h!T. :beerhead: I signed up back a while before the site switched over to here and I have seen the site only grow better and better as time goes on. Seemed it was first just strictley tech talk and all that and compliments on rigs, but I really seeing it come to life with the BS talk that has seem to really bring the people on this site together, which is cool. So I give cheers to all as well, and everyone give thanks to CW, he's the sensitive one that started this thread, may think hes a mean guy from the pics but he's just a big ol' teddy bear.. :teehee: Cheers man :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This place is like NAXJA was "in the beginning." In a way, it's probably a blessing there are so few MJs, because that means it's not likely we'll ever see the inundation of smart mouths that has ruined NAXJA in recent years. Perhaps masochism (as in shared devotion to a dinosaur vehicle that was never more than an afterthought anyway) is a powerful common bond ... Anyhoo, I second CWs thoughts and I join in hoping we can always keep it this way. And I also (again) thank Pete for making this place possible.

TNT Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'm with you about this. :cheers: I also am on the Darkside daily so if I get out of hand just let me know. :brows: This site is at a totally different level and I hope it stays that way. I crave to learn hardcore tech so I am all over the web. Most places I need to weed out the BS posts to learn and broaden my knowledge. Lately I'm studying desert rigs and their suspension designs. :D I just hope this site stays the way it is now,but with even more tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I also am on the Darkside daily so if I get out of hand just let me know. :brows: Me too. I'm on NAXJA every day. It has gotten out of hand, but I consider a lot of the guys good friends. Funny...I've heard a couple of people say, "What ever happened to Eagle?" And I say, "Oh, he's still around".

JeepcoMJ Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 :D i couldn't agree more to this whole post...Pete (with Eagle's help of course) has given us a GREAT site to learn from, and a great family atmosphere. i was using camarov6forums or something like that for the simple fact that i've got a camaro v6 (go figure :roll: ) in my jeep. their response was less than enthusiastic and along the lines of "go back where you belong". this place rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I've been here awhile, and agree with all the above. There's a good blend of old-timers and new-comers here, the old-timers willing share their experience; the new guys suck it up and often show a better way. It's a specialized forum dedicated to the improvement of our MJs, and although we all choose to go in many directions to improve/modify/upgrade our respective rigs for our own respective goals, most every CC member listens, offers suggestions, and/or rags the posts (in a constructive way of course :D ) for the common good. I'll always be here, and will do my part as best I can to contribute to the common good of this super forum. :cheers: And hey CW of-the North, thanks for starting this thread mate.

I'm on NAXJA daily also. Like Eagle said it was much better in the begining. I was a member in late 1999, in about 2002 the server crashed and lost 3000 posts of mine. It was much better back then... Thats why this is my favorite board for general discussions and everyday use. I feel like I know some of you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 :cheers: nothing more to add than what's already been discussed...... all of us on here are screwed up in our own little ways, but in a good way Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes just as long to answer as it does to post that lame response. I don't know how to or if you can, multi-quote :hmm: ,......... anyway.....Yea, one site I WAS going to for my car, I got slammed/flamed by one particular individual every time I posted a question or comment (isn't that what the site was for anyway??) or was told to search (even though I had mentioned that I had done a search). NEVER has that happened here. Hey Jeepco, you gave me an idea, a HEMI powered MJ :brows: in honor of your Bowtie MJ.....lol. I doubt it would fit but the neighborhood Jeep-Chrysler Dealer SHOULD have all the parts needed (including the bumper sticker)......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Thank you Pete! I agree, being a car enthusiast and having been part of MANY different forums. This one has the most genuine people in it, you should be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ill be honest, I use several different forums, and the best ones are the ones that do not show a post count and do not charge much for membership. One of the ones I am on does not even note the difference between a paid member and a subscriber. Keeps people from judging intellect based on post count. Here I have like 30odd posts, on Naxja I have over 800. By most peoples forum distinctions, here I know nothing, and there I am a pro. I prefer this forum, but the volume is a lot higher there.
