ITRCA

So post damnit!

You're killing me - hehehe

I hadn't noticed it had been that long.

I guess it's time to bring back the regular Type R forums...

Hey I was here just 2 days ago and this wasn't here..AWESOME!!

NICE!!!

cause HT is pretty much done.

So how is the weather in FL Dave?

finally

what do you mean HT is almost done Bbasso ??

All the retards have found it and taking over
Same things over and over, 90% of the new people just have no brain power and refuse to put any effort into what they need. Basically they need to use the Search button.

nice to have it back

HT down?

I think it was more of a comment that most of the HT ITR forums has turned into uneducated Type R owners who think they are better than others, but don't feel like actually looking up any info thats been discusses hundreds of times.

Rely Net came under an intense attack. It can be easily solved if someone's at the console, but it was at a time that Mike was off and it took him 45 minutes to drive to the site.

It's nice to have the ITRCA specific forums back, because the relationship with HAN never did work out very well.

However, Bbasso must intend to use some kind of magical witchcraft if he thinks that his simply saying a few times "HT is done" that it's anything close to being done.

Any perceived attitude in the ITR Forum there is because of older members bashing brand new membes who simply do not know any better.

It's not a fraternity and it sure as hell is not the Country Club of Virginia.

It's not a restricted, closed club and we cannot keep the world from changing!

The OG just have to be prepared to help the new guys, and that's all there is to it. Telling people to search doesn't do a lot of good unless you're willing to show the new guy how to do it, and list a few of the helpful threads that he would have found if he did search.

This poor kid's standing at his notebook with grease on his hands looking for help with something he just screwed up and all he gets is a bunch of smart remarks from the fraternity hazing committee.

If the ITR Forum goes down, it will be because the OG cannot be bothered to help, or they are so angry at their own circumstances that they take out their anger by hazing the new guys.

Don't make no sense. None at all.

And if you bring that attitude over here then it sure as hell won't be any better over here.

And another thing: Before you think it's wise to embark on any kind of orchestrated attack on Honda Tech, you should be aware that it is, in fact, doing better than it ever has. Rely Net hosts two of the most popular Web boards in the world, namely VW Vortex and Honda Tech.

The little red blip at the bottom is the occasional impact that ITRCA has made on those rare occasions that there has been a good Expo thread or some unusual classifieds and regional activities.

I think ITRCA is a great adjunct site to Honda Tech, and it's great to have some of the old articles accessible and still have the ability to bring them up and ask new questions.

However, it's folly to act like there is any "problem" with ITR Forum that isn't solved by the people who complain about it.

Honestly George, it really doesn't matter. This site is focused on 1 type of vehicle. HT is trying to serve an entire brand (I post in the TL section occaisionally as well).

The red blip is bigger than I expected considering that the main forums haven't been turned on for 2 years

Anyway, we're glad everyone is coming back. Hopefully, we can maintain a solid group of informative posts, have some fun & most of all, avoid the crap that continually ends up covering most of the HT/Type R site.

Enjoy

I still feel that we all fail to realize that we were all noob's at one point. I remember when I refused to post in the ITR forum because of 1, I didnt have an ITR, and 2 I was too intimadated to do so. I read and read and learned alot. Thats one thing I see a big change in is the amount of tech in the forum. Granted tech comes from testing waters and exploring what the car can actually do. I have no desire to do what some of these people do to there cars. I've watched and helped Steve Sakai, Gordon Mack, and Warren build, drive, and explode multiple motors and cars. They have helped me do what I have done to my previous cars which is peanuts compared to them but I dont have the income to play that hard.

Nowadays there is alot of non tech stuff. Fine, but the ratio between tech and non-tech stuff has fallen far.

To all of you I am still a noobie and you have no clue who I am, some have met me some not. So take this with a grain of salt, I'll still be around in the end playing and tinkering with the R

If it was up to me (which its not) I would just want more tech in the forum. The people are great! The car is great!

Don't worry guys, its happens in every community. Club4ag has ran off most of the knowledgable people b/c of all the "fan boys" wanting to get into drifting with AE86's.

Most got tired of seeing, "What do I need to turbo my car?", "4AGZE or 20v?" and the best of all, "Why can't I find a GT-S after searching for 2 weeks?"

Honestly, even now I only skim posts when are progess posts, or how tos b/c no one ever post anything information b/c the first reply is usually a link to the search function.

Just stay here full time, this place is so much nicer and less flaming

True, but no where near the traffic.

Traffic, Who needs that? We have the answers for 99.9% of the questions asked. It might take a few hours to get answered instead of minuets... Big deal.

lol, true. But I can sit on HT all day long and see new threads start all the time, and get responses all the time. Here you wait and wait and wait. Take this thread for example, we have 22 posts and it was started in Sept, if this was on HT we'd have 8 pages of posts. There would be alot of BS in there but sometimes that stuff is funny.

I dont know what we would have to do to get this place that much traffic, Sometimes HT gets on my damn nerves especially with all advertisements and crap but it still gets my first click when I get on the net. This site is great just not as "happening" as HT. For the things we hate about HT, we love it for.

Ok where's my cookie?
