    Moparts is a trip
    « on: December 24, 2008 - 10:40:30 AM »
    I troll over there often and it always makes me appreciate this place. Threads get out of control fast. I was reading a thread about taking a car to the "new" next level and 3 or 4 replies in it had already gotten ugly. I am glad we tend to treat each other with more respect over here. Kid gloves are good.   :bigsmile:

    I hear you. The general is the area to avoid unless just reading all the bull. They can beat you up n down in that room hard n quick. But the restro threads, questions, forsale stuff, unlawfull and tech areas are good to use.

    Same groups of people bunch together and just jabber about nothing all the time. You can skip through and get good reads even there.  I have been a member there for about 8 yrs maybe.

    Say posi in there and feel the welcome. Say surviver car and feel the love.   I do see lots of members here posting same questions on moparts and here at the same time.  I also see some members go there and see info on like the general posted by another member, then make a post here.


    Here's a funny...Ask what a used 440 core is worth. They will say around 150 to 250 bucks, then go look at the engine parts forsale from same said members :roflsmiley:

    LOL, I would buy 440 cores for that price all week long. Funny part is Al, the thread that got ugly is in the resto/A12 forum lol.

    I really don't like Moparts.  Lots of condiscending guys there.

    I prefer to spend my other time over on DodgeCharger.com.  Those guys are much nicer to talk to.  They seem to have a little more respect.

    Save for the occasional closet bigot and the Gestapo wannabes who moderate the place, there's mostly good people on moparts, which is why I keep going there. Besides, it's amusing - it's the only place where one guy will be ranting about "communists" and "socialists" in one thread, and in the other whine about CEO's and athletes getting paid too much.

    I agree with Al in that there are a lot of good posts with usefull info but also a lot of guys who have nothing better to do than start arguments every chance they get.You just need to ignore all the bullcrap and laugh at the idiots who post it.

    Not a big fan of Moparts or For B-Bodies only either. Moparts obsession for penguins is just dumb. Every second thread is about penguins...it gets really old after a while.


    I spend most of my time on dodgecharger.com, here, and For A-Bodies only.

    A trip to Snootytown!

    If you're not "in the clique", you'll generally get ignored. There are still plenty of nice folks there, but they are not always easy to find. The mods should open a Soup Store in NYC.

    I love when the mods delete your posts if:

    A: They don't like the subject
    B: You don't have a price in a for sale ad (Whack with NO warning...how about a curtesy e-mail or PM first, eh?)
    C: You are discussing or advertising something that directly competes with a business that has a banner ad there or is a Mofarts "Sponsor"
    D: You disagree with them
    E: They are in a bad mood and just want to whack a post for fun. In other words, for no logical reason.

    I've gotten/given decent advice there, but it's much nicer here, DC.com, 71-74DC.com and FABO. I like the Road Runner Nest, too. My friend Bruce is the co-creator and those guys have a twisted sense of humor! I will not comment on anything regarding A12 people.

    Two more for the penny jar!

    I used to hang out over there until I found this site. I very seldom drop in there anymore. Like everyone has said, you have to be one of the "clique" or they ignore your comments. I hope this site never gets that way.

    In the cars for sale section I saw a post that was deleted and it read "either ebay or here but not both" So they will not let someone post a car for sale on ebay and there at the same time?

    I hang out a little over there. Not nearly as much as I used to. I'll chit chat on the general board a little. I find them pretty helpful if you have a straight Q&A question if you can keep any hecklers out. Race forum is dynamite as well.

    You are correct, sir!

    Can't tell you why.
