why that was nice

Then wouldn't you be part of the problem? Those questions are the ones that all people ask when they are getting started. Are you suggesting a forum where everyone already knows all the answers? That would be a grave yard.

But did you happen to see how much time he spent on his post?????

Totally agree , I have no idea how or when this forum turned for the worse, but surely it has considering a few well known members actually LEFT (Rangerman, etc...)
The truth is the lounge plays just as an important role to our reputation as any other section. I think its a chain reaction as follows:

• Stupid posts/threads in lounge
  
• Sets reputation of CA.com as a clown house
  
• Knowledgeable members therefore refuse to post any of their knowledge or even join
  
• We get the rejects from other forums, diminishing the knowledge in other sections
  

GOOD car audio discussions are RARE these days. Seems most of the threads are about which subwoofer/speaker/etc is better, why eDuh sucks, or trying to convince a ignorant member something very basic.

There are virtually no posts involving:

• Tuning
  
• Speaker positioning
  
• Sound stage
  

The list goes on and on...Only thing good now, car audio related, is the classifieds //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I still try to help when I can, but it gets annoying when the questions are basic...

So now you expect new people to understand how the basic functionality of a forum works and also already be knowledgeable in the area of audio?
I have an idea. Shut down the forum.

Ignorance is no excuse, buy a book, read a website, whatever it takes to learn all the basics. Its not hard at all, there are dozens of books for 20 bucks that will teach you nearly everything you need to know to get started. And like I mentioned, BCAE1.com.
People just love to be spoon fed around here, and on almost all forums. CA.com is the mother of all spoon feeders.

I second the notion of shutting down the forum, better yet, leave only the classifieds and lounge open...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

lol how true......

sane person: "if you don't like this place.... just like a bad bar or restaurant you can leave and not come back"

whiner: "i hate this place but i can't go anywhere else to feed my ego for attention on the itty bitty sites.... "
