Great post, but it's "je ne sais quoi" hehe. 12 years of french immersion finally paying off.

Forgive me if i ramble a little bit

I joined TW in April of 2008

i'm member #5966

in 20 months since then, we've gained roughly 20K new members

that is INCREDIBLE growth

TW has a certain...atmosphere...or je nas se qoui...Out of the MANY forums i visit on a regular basis, this is the ONLY one i have broken the 1000 post count mark...which i surpassed a LONG time ago...TW has members ranging from 15 all the way to God only knows how old...We have members of every branch of Armed Forces, law enforcement, fire fighters, medics, and just about every other profession under the sun...We have members who are Christian, Jewish, Agnostic, Atheist, Muslim, and im sure there are many others...Bob has created, and we have, a very active community in which we all keep coming back to and enjoying...a place to BS and chit-chat...and NOT just ask questions about our trucks. This site is not geared just to offroaders, or street trucks...its open to the Tacoma community as a whole. We've always been very welcoming and open to every member that comes here unless they just absolutely give us a good reason to leave. TW is the only site i ever promote and introduce people to

BUT

I've noticed lately several things that just dont sit well with me...and i want to bring them up so that everyone can take notice

This site is what it is because of both the members and the moderators...we have a LOT of new members who join every day to find out new information about their trucks. Many people arent as well informed as some of yall out there may feel you are...or how you feel they should be. Not everyone who joins has ever been a member of a forum before, and many have never owned a truck or wanted to modify or work on a vehicle theyve owned before.

It used to be that there was a "race" so to speak between members as to who could correctly answer a post first...regardless of how many times that post had been made in the past. It's becoming more and more evident that this has fallen by the wayside in favor of posts such as

This is a bullshit answer that will, if repeated too often, turn this site into every other toyota forum on the net. I dont care HOW many times someone asks if a tire size will fit...or where they should buy Bil. 5100s or whatever it is thats asked a million times in a million ways by half the new people that come on here...

TW has a tendancy to take threads off-topic...which i enjoy because many times, several other questions may get answered or someone else gets the help they needed. Because of this, asking...no...demanding that new users or anyone who posts a (God forbid) repeated question...is silly...a search is going to yield a bunch of us yakking about God knows what. Either answer the question, or dont post unless the question has been sufficently answered by a party who DOES know. Its not like its your server space its taking up room on...its Bob's

We're also becoming increasingly intolerant of others who think differently than us and theres an awful lot of personal attacks or attacks because of a members age. Just because I like functional offroad trucks doesnt mean i need to go berate the new guy who likes lowered show trucks...and just because a member is 16 doesnt mean he doesnt know what he's talking about.

FUCK THAT

im NOT saying we need to all hold hands and sing kumbayah because we're going to disagree about things...but damn guys...lets be a little more like the TW that drew us all in instead of the other sites that we dont visit as often. Do we give each other a hard time? absolutely...but lets let the members get a little more established before we start giving them one too

Keeping TW the way it was that attracted so many of us to stay and post whore is gonna be a group effort...lets work on it

If you have a problem with a post, or member...hit this little button and send a message to a moderator

if you still want to be an asshole...feel free to join another board

Let's bring the whole thing forward and run it through home page one more time.

Here we go ... One more time.

Cape Codder · Jul 26, 2015

Penance..................

MQQSE · Sep 11, 2015

From the looks of things, it's that time again ... Send it across the homepage a few times.

MQQSE · Sep 12, 2015

One more time

MQQSE · Oct 12, 2015

In view of the that every 3rd Gen thread seems to turn into, how about we run this across the home page a few times?

I mean come on folks, I've stated my opinion, and I'll honestly be torn between a 3rd Gen Tacoma or full-size Tundra when it comes time to replace my current 2nd Gen. But that also means I'm interested in actual owner's reviews and experiences with the new truck.

Reducing every damn thread to name calling and shit stirring does no one any good. Let's try harder to show a little respect for each other. Rant over.

As usual, you're missing the point ... But it's ok, I'm used to it by now.
