You know…why is it that when you drive down the road 97% of Z owners will wave at you ..... but when you post on a Z forum they act like dicks? I guess it’s an “Internet ***** thing” Oh well….lol!

basically what you've asked is like walking into a college level calculus class and raising your hand and asking the teacher what is 2+2?

then when everyone tells you you're a moron and that if you did anyyyy research at all... you'd know it's 4, you respond by saying well it should be posted up in big bold letters on the door or something.

like any forum out there... there is plenty of information around, you just have to expend a little energy clicking, and you'll be fine. And you might wanna watch the attitude you're taking here as well, most people will be civilized to you if you don't go around making stupid posts, but what you've been posting is the perfect way to get the entire community against you. have a nice day.

Just tell me one thing…Does asking an administrator through PM not constitute “research”? (for which he never responded) Does making a “post” in a forum? not count as research? And where does it say on the forum that I have to become a “premiere member” in order to get an avatar? Hmmmm? I mean…am I magically so post to know that becoming a “premiere member” allows me to use an avatar?

So in other words….I’ve been on this forum way longer than most people in here (especially you) way more accomplished in the car scene than 85% of this entire site and its aggravating as hell to me that I can’t come to a site as an enthusiast, a fan and a member, without having to deal with post like this one. Most of us don’t have the luxury of sitting home all day, reading every post and being the perfect forum "researcher."

So on that note, how do you ever expect to promote this site and the car scene in general when you act like a jackass every time someone “anyone” asks what you perceive to be a stupid question?

I don't usually respond to posts like this but this is unbelievable.

For one, from the response to this thread, i'm not the only one who thinks that it's a question that's easily answered with a little searching... but if it takes you a whole day of sitting at your computer to find out why you don't have a custom avatar, then i feel sorry for you.

Second, I don't care when people join. Join date doesn't distinguish the douchebags from the good members. And how exactly did you come up with the 85% thing? i'm really curious. So you're more accomplished than us... at what, modding? There are many aspects the the "car scene" so i'd watch out before posting generalities like that.

Lastly, you said you pm'd an admin with this question. Again, that's like messaging one of the Head's of the IRS asking what tax form you should use. Would you really expect a response? But good luck on this forum, i'm sure you have a bright future.

Well said Chishi. Well this is me saying, "Look at my join date, I am about 90% more accomplished than the other board members."

No it does not in any way, shape or form.
Think about it for a minute. What if every member who didn't feel like expending any of their own valueable energy by finding info on their own just PM'd a mod/admin everytime they had a question to ask.

And what is wrong with "unbelievable" btw?
That word pretty much sums up the attitude and/or laziness and/or ignorance of some of the noobs on the site.
I am starting to feel you belong in one or all of the above mentioned categories.

Ha hah ha!! You are hilarious! Dude look…. I asked a question that was NOT noted anywhere on the forum and especially not in the avatar section where it should be! If you guys are soo “super” cool that you can’t help people out on an enthusiast forum then why don’t you have one of your “idol administrators” add the “custom avatar / premier” member info under the “user cp” section. Makes perfect sense to me, oh and maybe actually have the people that are so post to keep this forum running smoothly actually take a few minutes from their busy forum lives and answer a few questions. Would it hurt? Come’on dude…

If you wanna act like a badass on here, call me names and what not, go ahead dude, good luck with that. I mean ****…it seems like this king of the forum complex is workin for ya…

Just keep Pm'ing mods/admins with every little question you have. You will learn a lot that way I am sure.
Btw, calling them "idol admins" probably won't increase your response time much.
And I don't think they are so much idol, it's just that they don't have time to spoon feed and babysit all the noobs.
You need to quit suckling on your mommas teat and try to walk on your own someday.

You are right! I am tried, will you help guide me oh masterful forum god? Actually do you think you could proof all my posts from now on? That way I don’t say anything that might “waste” your abundant amount of forum posting time. Actually, that’s a good idea. Besides I defiantly don’t want the “community” to get mad at me for wasting the endless supply of forum real-estate for promoting the use of this site and trying to protect “friendly” newcomers that actually still carry a passion for this scene; from having to deal with forum high dicks such as yourself.

Oh and…do you think you could pay for my premier membership fee? I really want a custom avatar
