why dont people bloody ask extreme??
This is a site for OWNERS.
Stupid tyre kicking kids, pick up the phone and phone Extreme. Nobody on this site sells anything for Extreme.
wow, have a cry!
due to the popularity of car owners clubs, prospective owners can come to the club seeking information, parts, advice ect. it usually makes for good community relationships, when people help each other out like this.
why be on the offensive when this happens, its not like these forums are the only place where non owners come, I am an active member of a couple of different owners club forums, and never encountered this type of attitude.
besides, if noobs didnt come here asking questions, these forums would be quite..... bare to say the least? what would the conversation go like? "I have the Murcy replica..... do you?"
If a website is for general info or lots of kit car chat then great, 'noobs' do provide good conversation and keep the forums busy. This website was however made for owners building the kits to keep in touch, organise meetings and share ideas and build tips. We dont have a problem with people asking questions about the kits, but asking where you get the frame for under the body just shows you havent even bothered to look on the extreme website.
Apologies if you got a slightly frosty reception, but as the kits are getting really popular there are lots of newbies asking really basic questions that are answered on the extreme website. At the moment we are trying to work out how to keep this forum on track and keep it useful for the actual extreme owners using it. There are lots of non owners on here that clearly have taken the trouble to research the cars and which contribute information and are definetly part of the forum, so its difficult to know what to do, but we dont want the actual owners to loose interest in the site due to constant basic questions that should really be directed to the extreme website e-mail.
I think it will just be a case of adding more prominent links to the extreme website and something that requires newbies to access the extreme website and confirm they are aware we are for owners and all sales questions should be directed to extremes mailbox.
Sorry for the thread hijack, but I felt this needed saying.
