The Forum is fun! And, I don't even go on facebook. Check out the different forums. I do agree 'tho that the C7 forum is not the place to attack other posters. Ken gets attacked all the time for his Avatar. It is mostly for the PR&C forum, and why should he change it?? It is his belief (and mine)
And, the different opinions are fun! Most Vette owners seem to be Conservative, but the libs are very vocal!! Everybody has their opinion and have their right to voice it!!

I own a C7, and joined this website forum to seek help and advice, read useful information that will contribute to the enjoyment of my car, and in time, share information based on my experiences that might help others.
However, I have been absolutely disgusted with the plethora of juvenile members here who do nothing to add value to the community and who seemingly enjoy slamming other people.
I know that most Corvette owners must be good people, but the sheer volume of negative or immature posts on this forum is not representative of that population.
I really wish there were moderators who would kick the "usual suspects" out of the forums- we all know who they are- and unfortunately they often seem to have the most posts, and the most gold stars next to their avatars.
Love my C7, and wish I could interact more with the good guys here, and somehow block all posts by the jerks. Wouldn't it be great if we never had to see another post by INSERT NAME HERE?
Godspeed,
CATTMAN

It may take a few generations before the sophistication of most owners catches up with the sophistication of the C7.

The occasional short-tempered responses and miserable attitudes seem to worsen over the winter months when we're NOT out driving our cars and have nothing better to do than sit in front of the computer reading CF. If you think this place is intolerant and provincial, check out some the motorcycle forums during the deep freeze months. They'll make your hair turn grey! ….Oh wait, this is CF….we've already gone grey.

I'm crushed. 
I can't imagine going through life ignoring anyone who disagrees with my opinion on something. That would be terribly boring and narrow minded.
I recently traded up from a C6 to a C7. I have noticed a marked difference between the C6 forums and the C7 forums here. I'll leave it at that.

Did you buy the car to drive and enjoy yourself, or to make sure you can impress everyone on an internet forum? If the latter you might be in for some disappointment, as no single car is going to be universally loved by everyone.

I am a one-year "veteran" of this forum now. I have found the C7 forum to be somewhat testy and contentious, by and large, compared to other automobile forums in which I participate. I honestly believe that it is somewhat indigenous to this sub forum.
Anybody have any ideas as to why?
Is it because the C7 as a totally new vehicle in the Corvette line, aimed at a different audience, has attracted a new and different population/culture of forum members?

I beleive that could have something to do with it.

In a few years we'll have the same silliness between C7 and C8 owners.
Every model of the Vette is a unique and special car, and we're all lucky to be part of this "club". To quote the 10th Corvette Commandment:
10- Each Vette is an individual work of art; judge not lest ye might be judged.

Scraping the splitter.
I don't necessarily disagree with the OP. There are quite a few people who contribute absolutely nothing to this section and simply are here to stir up discontent.
His intention to put those people on ignore reminded me of this...

Thats any forum not just vettes bro... actually the euro and import car ones are even worse.
You will realize certain members to listen to and certain members to ignore.

One ceveat with the ignore button is that once someone is on your ignore list you have no way of knowing if they provided "unflattering" replies to any of your posts, thus you've forfeited the opportunity to provide a rebutal. However, there are still some people that are not even worth a rebutal.

Sorry brutha, I try to be respectful on here. I try to conduct myself as I would in person. I am also a moderator on another forum and we have the exact same rule. Listen and learn and try to play by the rules...especially after one of the moderators was kind enough to cut and paste it for your consideration and consumption.
I hope you enjoy the car!!! And I hope you enjoy this forum!!! There are some good folks on here!!

This.
I must say that I find very new members (OP has been a member here 6 months) who feel the need to post about what a horrible place it is and how it needs to change to be a bit egotistical. If you don't like the way the forum has been run for years I'd suggest that you find another forum instead of ranting about how this one needs to change to suit your tastes.
