Default Other car forums you can't stand.

Scoobynet I have to say is a great place compared to other car forums, I have always found it helpful and the members always have lots of knowledge but what are the car forums that just seem to be full of well ***** and keyboard warriors?

MX6OC. Run by a fat benefit cheat who charges people for technical advice and waves the ban stick at anyone who dares to question him.

The site has died because of the people in the community that he's upset and i'm pretty sure that potential owners have been put off because of the lack of a decent forum or community spirit too. Keyboard warrior is an understatement!

Pistonheads gassing station. I always find if you're not into their way of 'modifying cars is blasphemy' they take a disliking immediately.

+1. One that stands out for me is BliarOut. That c*nt still owes me an apology for suggesting I called someone a racist. Bellslammer.

He was for real and I would like to say that Craigo and myself lead the way in order to get him banned. If it wasn't for us bringing up a particular topic in the 'cars for sale' section (I could have just ignored it) he would probably still be here today p!ssing me off with his 12 year old immaturity even though he was apparently 40. Also what happened to that Hamster guy who was pratically licking his ****? Haven't seem him around since Jimmy got banned.

I 'feel sorry' lol for MLR members that wish to post regularly i.e. more than 20 posts pcm. As you HAVE to pay the full £36 or whatever it is - per annum! - to do so.

I know the MLR do a lot of meets and trackdays, etc., and that is what that fee funds, but still a a bit ****ed up if all you wanna do is use the forums!

But the MLR members defend it to the hilt spouting it's still great VFM just for the 'advice' alone, etc.!

My mate, "The Seer", posted a thread questioning precisely the above, but only one poster 'got' his point.




And yeah, generally speaking, a lot of PHers are a tough - read largely pious - bunch of ***** too.

PH can be funny but it's a forum where you need to be able to take **** however be careful when giving it back as the middle class mummy brigade is strong on that one.

I never bother questioning anyone on PH... Simply ain't worth the 'dummy out of pram'-based vitriol you'll receive back.
