No surprise, I guess.
The website below ranks internet forums by number of posts. In the category Video games message boards, PSX2Central is not even on the list. We don\'t have enough posts to even unseat the forum at no.100, "DDR Freak" :mad:

On a side note, my primary auto forum, s2ki.com is number 7 on the Cars & Bikes list. :)
-
When it comes to really HUGE internet forums were just not one of em.
Some forums have 100\'s of people browsing them at any time of the day.
-
Hmm VW Vortex is #1 for the auto forums. I have been a member there for 3 years.
-
I\'m glad we aren\'t that big. Things around here can be a little slow at times, but I can\'t keep up with forums that are too big. I like that here I can actually read every topic, and post in all of them if I choose to. At a forum on that list, there\'s no way to do that.

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that. Maybe I shouldn\'t have been, because VW does sell a huge number of cars in the US. On the other hand, S2KI.com has a total number of posts that is WAY WAY out of proportion to the number of S2000s sold in the United States, or the world for that matter. Only about 9,000 are sold in the US each year, and ours is the biggest single market for the car.
-
Bleh....VW Vortex steals so many photochopped pics from the Subaru Off Topic message board, it ain\'t funny. :)
-
This place is fine as it is, some of them other boards are overloaded with spam.
-
If I have a computer problem I won\'t even post it Anandtech, the post gets lost within a matter of minutes.
Sometimes it\'s good to be small.

Yeah it isn\'t only VW owners who are on that forum as you probably know. Audi has another big following there.

Someone said once that it doesn\'t matter the quantity, but the quality. Word.
-
There\'s nothing wrong with slow/boring forums.
cheesecake anyone?
-
Yeah IGN is crazy huge but they have so many boards it\'s not funny.

Kinda like how everyone steals from clubsi and OT.net?
-
:laughing: how did monkly business beat us?!
-
Who cares, I like this place. Most people tend to think before they post here, unlike me of course.

I don\'t go to clubsi. Hells no. That place is like infested with civic driving Swifdies with Riceroni cars that like to drag race (drag racing requires no real ability to drive - my grandmother can drive fast in a straight line).
The problem with this OT Forum is there is very little activity and the mods are too delete happy. Especially ooseven, which has been brought up more than a few times. I said it before - Off Topic IS spam. It\'s a forum with about spam.
Speaking of Spam.....I hungry for some Hormel Spam!

Its obvious you dont know shit.
A wise man once said...
It is better to be a silent fool...
Then to open your mouth and prove it...
Clubsi is not much at all of what you speak. If you spent any real time there or have been there since 99 like some of us then you would know...but you dont.
As for OT.net...I dont know what happend to them as I havent been there in over a year or more. They had a ton of forums so it wasnt just spam. Even in the BS area, at least ppl talked about something. It may be different now if it even exsists anymore
So once again..you know not of what you speak.
-
but our per capita awsomeness is off the charts, it\'d be even higher if spudz and vapor left.

I\'ve been there since 1999. I DO know what I speak of. It\'s crap. Unfortunately, I didn\'t leave until 2001. Also, that place has more funeral announcements than any other forum I go to. Unless the place has changed since, I stand by my opinion. It\'s crapola.
-
funeral announcements?? you mean they have to pour their 40\'s on the ground type funerals?
clips- no offense taken, I am comfortable with my weiner, or lack thereof :(

Haven\'t been there since 2001. You ain\'t changing my opinion.
-
ok..whats your point since you were there in 99..you would know correct? I didnt ask if your opinion changed..i asked if you knew what the addy was in 99.
Care to try again..or will you just admit that you dont know?
-
That\'s what Favorites are for. So I just click. Just coz I don\'t recall an address like it\'s supposed to be important you think I\'ve never been there?
Get real. The place was full of posers. Especially the "Versus the World\' forum.
-
uhm..if you were there, you would know.
PS...it wasnt the "versus the world" forum either.
-
:rolleyes: Vs. All.
Who cares? What the hell was it? If it\'s so important to you. club-si.com? Wrong? Big Whoop!
I was there back in 99 before I bought my current car. I was searching for info about the Integra. One site led me to another and I saw ClubSi and I put in on the favorite list. I lurked until about 2001.
Why the hell would I bother to memorize an addy? I didn\'t post. I wasn\'t interested in Civics except to read their kiLLz :rolleyes:
-
uhm..its not hard to remember a URL..espescially when said URL only contains a few letters.
Ok then...can you even tell me the board format? The software used? How it looked...colors....hmmm
-
This is luckee....but with a different car. You get the point! :D

Not the best example Gman - I do see the irony, but -
I only see one person doing the arguing in this thread :rolleyes:
Who gives a damn what colors what were 5 years ago on whatever website...
Really, what do you have to gain by arguing if he was or wasn\'t there back in 1999? WHO CARES.
-
As a general practice, I stay away from all Civic / Integra / DSM / Neon / Sentra / etc forums. I can only take so many threads posted by 17 year olds asking what kind of 19" wheels they should buy, or how they got their license suspended for reckless driving, or how to install "lambo doors" on their ride. :rolleyes:
The quality of writing, posting, discussion, and even grammar and spelling is so much better on forums dedicated to cars that are even slightly more expensive. That\'s the plain truth, and it\'s blatantly obvious after just a little observation. I greatly appreciate all the cars these forums are dedicated to (except where they are disasterously modded), but I just don\'t fit in with all the Fast and Furious kidlets out there.
-
We really need an automotive forum here... anyway out of curiousity Core what other cars did you consider before buying what you currently drive?
-
first of all..no one was talking to you anyway..so mind your business giga. fact is..gman is misinformed about the mentality at a particular place. just like the assholes we have here..doesnt mean its indicative of the entire site does it?
core...the DTM..c5 and viper forums are all just as childish. its just a select few as with any place.

Owned. :laughing:
Of course, you\'ll just say that you were using the roll eyes as a form of satire, and not an insult... or some other bullshit like that.
Bottom line: stop spamming, you "moron." (Your own words) :D
-
You=owned.
I counted 4 rolleyes before. Excessive rolleys for teh win.
Who was I insulting...no one! Just because you said "Of course, you\'ll just say that you were using the roll eyes as a form of satire, and not an insult... or some other bullshit like that." doesn\'t make it true. :(

You\'re right, we\'re really talking about two different species of forum posters (with some overlap).
First, there\'s the teen age know-it-all F&F punk on the Civic / Integra / DSM / 240SX forums
Second we have the general ASSHOLE which some car models seem to attract like stink on shit. I don\'t know what it is about Vipers, but as expensive as they are, they generally seem to be purchased by the biggest assholes in the world. The same can be said, maybe to a lesser degree, about the DTM, C4 / C5, and Z28 forums.
Porsches forums, which are dedicated to cars that are generally as expensive as Vipers or even more so, don\'t seem to have any more than the ordinary allotment of assholes.
It\'s hard to figure. :)
-
I don\'t post on car forums but I can see that there are a lot of ignorant people that think they know what they are talking about (especially among the teenage population). Where I live, kids "pimp out" Civics and stuff like that. It just makes me want to puke. They think they\'re all badass and stuff. They are the kinds of people that post on these car boards.
