I post somewhat a lot here, but hardly post on the NSX forums unless it is for something specific. What you will notice about the NSX forums is that most of the time they are not interested in chit chat. They are specific and to the point. The only time things seem to go on and on is when there are misinformation about the car. Same like here. Otherwise for the most part it can be considered more of a technical site rather than a social site. The Admin and mods are exremely strict about where posts go and how you conduct yourself, so often questionable posts will get deleted very fast. Take a look in the regional sites and I think you'll find it a bit more social.
As for people being flamed for postsing pics if their cars? I've never really seen that. You have to look at who is responding though. There are a lot of non NSX owners on the site just like how Ferarri Chat gets so explosive, but most of them are not owners. You will learn after a while who is the so called bad appples, the non owners, and the real core members that are very helpful. Most of the owners of NSX's use that car as a weekend car and owner's Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and many other types of cars and I've seen other cars posted up during my 5 or so years there with no problems, do it does surprise me that people would get flamed for it. Unless it was posted in the wrong section, which again, I have to say they are very strict about where posts go.

You have to show me your hook up. I got ripped as I paid $89 at Costco for mine. I''m kind of bummed about my power adder now 
Not as much bang for the buck as I once thought

If you got it from Costco, return the battery after a couple of years of usage and get a new one. You will end up saving more that $29 bucks

You know even though on paper, it has the least power of most competiton, the NSX has always had very good acceleration.

I have trouble connecting the term outdated to a car with exotic looks and since it's discontinued, is still in the current or most recent style. To me, outdated is a car that's severals years out of style. What's your definition?

BTW I love costco batteries, the marine battery to be specific. No joke. I almost bought one for my GS, but it wouldn't fit, so I had to go with a duralast battery 
. I had the Costco battery in my old car and that battery took a beating without wanting to give up. Easily the best $40 battery I have ever bought.
