Go and look at the posts on this site....or any other internet auto related site for that matter and try to find out of the 1million posts, a part where an OG actually put forth the effort to help one of the little high school kids with an honest question. Try to find the post where someone offered an opinion instead of attacking someone in a degrading manor.
Many of the older people on this board CONSTANTLY bitch about the way the scene "used to be" but some of those are the same ones sending requests to admins about "can I get my post count back up" and flaming people needlessly. I remember people on this board saying "i'm not going to that show because...." and then flaming the show afterwards even though they didn't go. <-- same person then cries about not having any shows in atlanta later!
I've seen people have show cars, then bash people about having show cars, then try to get back into it. What i know is that when everyone realizes regardless of what you are building, how you are building it, why you are building it....you are still MODDING! It's what MOST of us are into (the lesser part being completely useless people that know NOTHING about cars and DON'T CARE to LEARN) and it's what SHOULD be keeping us together as a group.
What needs to happen? No idea. The scene will change many many times over the years just like it has with every other form of modding a vehicle.
I'll be in it one way or another and will always try to do something to support the scene. How many of you (NO, POSTING ON IA DOES NOT COUNT AS SUPPORTING THE SCENE) have done anything to help?
