Sure you are buddy.
inorite? ****ing ridiculous that the calvary has to come in to save the day. Even then they fail. It's like you are in a cage match against 20 midgets bro.

Wait, they have 20 midgets over there? If that's the case then CT > Ca.com for sure

I hate that you feel that way, and we're doing everything we can to get it back where it needs to be. However, if it sucks so bad, there are plenty of other forum sites that would love for someone to post on how bad they ****. So if you could refrain from these posts, it would be greatly appreciated.
FYI, maybe if you stick around, you'll see that this site gets a little bit better everyday.

Thanks,

Gonna take years, kid. Which you probably won't be around for...

its amusing how people try to stick up for this site as a caraudio reference forum. no, if i want facts and not some retards babbling on about spl and jensen equipment i head right over to DIYMA.

you can bash ct all you want, but its never claimed to be a caraudio site.

the new admin can ***** about being bashed himself and ask users to leave. but the fact of the matter is hes talking out the other side of his mouth. because those are the same users that made this site what it is was and the powers at be sure didnt have a problem with the users then.

and you can defend this site saying the robust userbase is where the server and bot issues stem from, but i would imagine the issues are proportionate. they just have admins who actually lead and are proactive. vw vortex, honda tech, ot.com... i dont see them with near the issues and they're larger by far.

This.

The neglect, lack or necessary tools, and plain disrespect is why this site is in disregard. If the moderators were actually acknowledged previously, all of them would have cared more. We could have done a decent job, given the correct tools, and the feedback, interaction, and respect from the inactive admin. Hell, if we would have been showed more appreciation and feedback, he'd be making a hell of a lot more money.

Like it me or not, I've been active here for coming up on 8 years. I've seen the hater/whiners come and go dozens of times, it goes in cycles. All the kids up in arms or excited about the site and the changes, more than likely won't even be around in a couple years. Sure, this site has a large volume of users, but active users and retention aren't nearly as large as the user database makes it seem. Would actually be nice to see a prune.

I just find this new "micro-revolution" to be quite amusing. We'll see where it goes, haha.

I could have sworn I read some dusty threads dating back to 2003 where folks were complaining about the "quality" of this site, and how it will never amount to very much. So here we are in 2010 and the same statements are being said. I read the threads back then and compare them to now and guess what? They are the same.

As long as the site makes the owner money, nothing anyone says or does will "change" things here. Time has spoken.

Awesome, feel free to head right over to DIYMA, or CT. Im glad you found places you like. I just have to wonder why you feel the need to come here and tell us.

Nobody here claimed CT claims to be a car audio website, in fact quite the opposite in my case. As for bashing it, that's is a laugh. Again, its the CT guys that love coming here to bash this site and try to recruit new CT members. That in and of itself is silly, but then also piss and moan that you guys think ca.com members are bashing CT? Amazingly short sighted of you Eugenics.

Lastly, it seems some of the CT guys have an ego problem going on. Whom of them are you referring to when you suggest it was they who made this site what it is? lol If that's so, great, let them go make CT the well over a thousand visitors at once site this one has been for several years now.

Ive not said this forum is perfect, that the server is protected as well as it could be... Ive simply said comparing its speed/performance and bot population to a fly-speck of a website like CT is simply ridiculous for anyone who understands the topic.

You are exactly right. Ive been on this forum even longer than my current join date suggests, and Ive seen these complaints of 'this site has really gone down hill the past year' virtually since day one. Let the CT guys think they ruined this site by pulling their awesomeness out of it. I look forward to seeing CT's population over shadow ca.com's any day now. After all, those guys are what made this site what it is, and all that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I really must say that the major population of CT, the core group of us that spend a good amount of time over there are the ones that posted most of the post on this site and helped it to grow to where it is today. Disagree all you wish, it doesn't change the truth. If CT were a popular subject in the world today similar to car audio, im sure the volume of traffic would be comparable in 8 yrs
