Juggular 4964 Posted April 12, 2022 I remember posting things for the first time several years back. That was like the first day of kindergarten almost half century ago. I was really nervous that somebody would say things like, "you don't even know that?" But nobody said that. Everybody was nice. Of course, nobody would agree with everything that's said. If everybody thought the same way, the world would be a terribly boring place. Besides, the very nature of learning is to hear what others say. No two people would say the same thing exactly. But occasionally, hearing the feedback on what people think of Tamiya Club is a good thing. The admin got right on it. And we are reminded that it takes everybody's efforts to keep the site nice. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmelczer 100 Posted April 12, 2022 I've gotta agree with Juggular on how nice everyone on this board is. As someone just getting back into the cars after a 35 year hiatus, I've asked more than a few questions here that anyone would have been well within their rights to respond "just read the manual" on, but no one did. Everyone has been incredibly helpful, insightful, and has always pointed me in the proper direction. badword, a member here even offered to send me parts for my Falcon for just shipping costs (calling you out BeetleManKurt because that was an incredibly kind gesture! You're the man!) How many other places would have members willing to do that on hard to source parts? The one thing I will mention for Ironfather's benefit is that I did notice that in both of his responses, he mentions how "easy" the fix is. What may be easy for him may not be for someone just starting back into the hobby or someone who is just starting in the hobby for the first time, and he needs to keep that in the back of his mind when responding. Perhaps if he provides the advice without the "it's easy" commentary he might receive more friendly responses, although I will admit that personally I didn't see anything wrong with any of the responses in the threads he replied to. Certainly nothing that would warrant his creation of this thread. From my brief experience over the last year or so, I think this forum is incredible, it is run by a very responsive group of individuals, and I personally am very grateful for having found it. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kol__ 3377 Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Got to say I'm a bit bewildered by the OP's post. I've never seen anything on here that I would relate to that kind of behaviour. I must've missed some posts I guess that in general everyone can be a bit of a nobber at times. Maybe it's one of those things where if no one else is being a nobber... then you are the nobber! Edit: to be clear I'm not saying that ironfather is a nobber, or anyone else for that matter Edited April 12, 2022 by Kol__ Nobber clarification. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikko85 3454 Posted April 12, 2022 Honestly this site is fantastic. Very rarely a bad word said, and people are as supportive and encouraging with a first time with GH as a veteran with something super rare or expensive. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeWings 2830 Posted April 12, 2022 I only joined last August and really enjoyed the site and most of the people on here seem great. I co-own a large gaming focused forum and the behaviour there certainly makes me value the general civility and camaraderie here. However my experience here has been spoiled somewhat since a very prominent poster took offence to me. Apparently I forget to say thanks after he answered a question I had posed and rather than engage me he decided to just block me! Strange behaviour and even more baffling as the user in question recently wrote a post which I took real offence to (he made a joke about a condition my son struggles with). Mods here have simply ignored my reporting it. I have much bigger worries to deal with in life at the moment but it is a shame as it does directly impact my enjoyment of the site which I had used as a bit of escape. At the end of the day forum users are human and humans are a strange breed! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moffman 5752 Posted April 12, 2022 I've always thought this forum is the most interesting and informative as well as definitely friendly of all the forums I've joined in the past! Some I've not visited in years because (and it doesn't thrill me to say this) they just got uninteresting! But this forum I go to practically every night after work because the topics of conversation help me to unwind! Quite a lot of the time I just browse but enjoy what people have to say about our brilliant hobby! But I can never remember anyone being disrespectful?. Jeez I belong to a work forum for work colleague's up and down the country and that is unbelievably (want of a better word) rotten you give your opinion on that site and a torrent of abuse you get is bordering on illegal but I suppose you can't legislate for the stupid 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
