I never minded helping people and often look for the unanswered post even it if is......whats the best oil???? people have to start some where...like at church a friendly smile at the door goes a long way.
Well I don't post much but so far this forum has been very helpful to me and my car, except for showing me how to spend WAY to much money on it and too many options to spend it! The drama is entertaining and if it's not I just ignore it. Again thanks for the valuable information and the entertainment.
I’ve been on here very minimally for the past couple weeks.. must have missed something haha

I guess I missed it too Just wondering who might be "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"
He certainly could stir the pot, that's for sure. Seemed to know what he was talking about, though.
I just wish there was a forum that we could talk to adults like adults and not get banned because you offend someone, use certain language, or talk about things people have a hard time dealing with.
If you dont like the post then move on and pay it no attention. But people on this site and others can't mind their own business.

well if you walk into a bar and walk up to a guy and tell him his girlfriend is ugly what do you suppose his reaction is going to be? just because you have a voice as an adult doesnt give free license to insult people just because you can under some ruse that is what you are suppose to do because its something you can do.....it is ok to keep your opinion to your self. telling somebody something looks like **** is hardly a way to motivate some one. this forum is for fun....if all you can do is **** on other people at some point people get tired of it....this is not to be unexpected.....I bet he has a whole lot less friends then he thinks he does

This is the most sensitive forum I have ever been on. That's the culture here and always has been. Some forums will let you talk about street racing or off-roading where you're not supposed to and others walk a very straight line. This is the straight line crowd and it seems mostly policed by its forum members rather than moderators. But that's the culture and that's okay. There will always be the complaints from people that wanna curse and talk about illegal **** but there are sites for that. I still try to be a smart *** and joke around with silly posts but some members can't handle internet, take it too personally, whatever.
When I post a comment I fully expect someone to have a smart *** comment or a differing viewpoint, unless it's about oil...... Mobil1 for life beeeeeootches.
FWIW, the search function doesn't always find what we're looking for. It isn't always a case of laziness...
I use google. Type what I'm looking for and then "site:corvettefurum.com" with out the quotations of course. Gets really good filtered results. Example:

"calguy" was the one incapable of having a proper adult conversation. Not our fault he has issues.

No forum is perfect and this one is no exception. There is such a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures and opinions/beliefs here that when mixed together it can be challenging to keep things flowing smoothly. And I agree, civility goes a long way.
However, this thread had devolved into a discussion/criticism of former member(s) and that just doesn't seem to have a positive value to it. Therefore, time to say .
