There are still lots of good people on this site
However, I agree with the OP.. there are some members that have been dragging this site down.
Too many negative threads and people shit talking in other's For(d) Sale threads.. etc.
Also, instead of posting useless youtube links in the General Talk it would be nice if people would share their car projects, etc.
Also, lot's of bad/useless advice in tech talk..
BTW.. it is not the moderators that will make site good/bad.. it's the members
my 2 cents

I really like this site and think people who have nothing positive to provide should GTFO...
Who runs this site anyways?
Isn't there somebody making money off this site somehow?

It all started when the various other clubs flooded into this site. I remember one of the first car shows which gave out prizes, the "car clubs" grouped their voting together and rigged it so their buddies would win. And, the sponsors we had gave out some pretty nice prizes! I doubt any sponsors would go near us now. It went from a bunch of cool guys (and girls...yes, women were even on here at one time before leg-humping douchebags drove them off) to a bunch of wanna-be thugs who care more about chest beating and showing off their burn-outs than developing a community of car enthusiasts.

perfect
as for who have said that bout don hiddennos...ok not every member is perfect not everyone is going to like each other...but don has been a long time member and pretty much has his own personalty just like anyone. he is a cool guy and keeps a cool head on bussiness with people from what i know. i havent heard much of him doing ne one wrong or for that matter never heard someone complain bout being ripped off or done wrong.
to each there own but he has a plus vote from my eyes. yes ive had my bitch wars with him and hate his billion plus post and all the rolleyes... im sure if he rolled his eyes like that in person hed be blind lol. as i said everyone is them self and hes a vet on the site and is a chill guy all in all
as for who ever said that...should be banned its morons like you who have to come in and mess up a topic and start a bunch on non sense. keep your shit to your self for real. i wish there was a test to get on this site and make it more legit.
as for the admins on this site i dont know if it was sold out or if there making money but i doubt it. i sure dont see them on or making much effort to controll the public view of this site...but im sure they dont care.
as for who ever said that bout the cars shows and all the clubs coming in and sponsers get tooken advatage of.... your right {as far as i kno} this site has gurls sponsers deals all kinds of gud shit... now its sideshow internet thugs and drama drama drama
i know alot of sites did come into this such as sacstangs, wcfords etc yes that did kill it as there was always a fued going. i dont know where im going with this so yea
admin please take controll of your site and ban ppl make it harder to register. having lots of members is cool and is gud for the server {in a way} but get the site back on track

I am by no means considered 1 of the old school members of Cafords, but even back when I registered in 2007, this site was much better than it is nowadays.
The donut videos don't bother me at all, because after all, it is part of the muscle car hobby. What bothers me is all the drama & how the mods just let it go on & on....
What bothers me more than anything is the For(d) sale section. When someone posts up a car for sale, the thread gets cluttered up with multiple pages of useless posts of people bashing the car or stating their negative opinions. If your not interested in buying the car, don't post in the thread, especially if it is to state something negative.... [ March 25, 2010, 12:01 AM: Message edited by: EPIK ]
