- Most forums are pretty generic in general, lots of the forum sections are similar on any car forum whether is be the GC or something else.

- There is less clutter here and with less members you can get to know people, which is what makes up a good community.

Thanks for the insight

This site is way better then gencoupe, sometimes smaller is better plus i never get reponses on gencoupe, I just get flamed for asking a question that someone else might have asked 3 months ago

Yea flaming is the biggest problem with these things. We should probly try to keep flamers out of RWDCoupe...

I think the tone here is more civil than over at GenCoupe for whatever reason. I would guess because many of us have met or know others on the forum in person. After the meet tommorrow we'll have met quite a few people who are regulars here.

I don't think we should bash on GenCoupe.com either though. That site isn't worse because its less personal. The amount of knowledge over there is, by virtue of more people, more expansive.

I visit both sites but find this one to be more fun on a daily basis since I can keep up with it.

To all replies - thanks for your comments, some of which hadn't occurred to me. Appreciate the variation of thoughts

Glad we were able to help

I agree that its because of numbers.

More trolls to argue with also, and I am as guilty as anyone lol.

I was asking the same thing over at gencoupe.ca.

Gencoupe.com has the tec section as well.

Dont feel bad, this is a desent forum and alot less idiots. gencoupe.ca is similar to here, alot less members so it is way friendlier and any bickering is usualy in jest.

The diference is gencoupe.ca is all Canadian. Not that we dont welcome anyone, but for the majority all the members are Canadians. We are talking to some vendors and sponsors, however the one requirement is that all pricing HAS to be in Canadian dollars, cause I friggn hate tryn to figure it out. What seems like a great deal on parts isnt so great when you figure out the xchange on the dollar, shipping, duty, customs and wait times.

Anyhow, I like this forum too.
