How much do you pay to the forum?
I donate to the forum, shit tons of my time. Cleaning up spam, answering THOUSANDS of questions (most via PM or AIM), merging threads, moving threads, conversing, and giving people a hard time.
What would you define as "needed". Going off of example I am thinking that your opinion on needed is bashing the noobs and making sure they know that around deez parts you are god and they are nothing but a reason for you to ban.
I give people a hard time, cry me a river. It's all sarcasm, and I'm quick to answer any question a person might have. Please show me examples of "n00b" bashing... and if you can find one... then tell me if it's sincere... or a sarcasm filled welcoming...
I have done multitudes more help... and post/PM quite a bit of help... and would be very open to seeing what you view as "n00b bashing".
It really is no wonder that this forum basically has endless posts on what do you do for a breakup and how many tickets do you have instead of the other forums which are getting group meets together, and supporting the members.
It's a forum, the off-topic subsection alone is just as active as the collective rest of the forum almost. Also, there's plenty of group meets... and we all support/help eachother... this really shows in the world of SPL.
In fact, there's been PLENTY of Ohio meets... many organized and support by me. I've even offered my own place to stay at... if needed. Have you ever show up to one?
Not to mention the countless installs I've done for forum members.
**EDIT** on a side note, you do have a tremendous knowledge of car audio and installation. I just think your a punk *** hole kid
