Default Bad experience with www.my350z.com

I signed up for my350z.com to sell some parts I have laying around. I did not know that I had to be a member for at least 90 days,have 500 post or more, or be a premier member. When I tried to list it says i'm restricted, contact a mod. I did just that and he was not very helpful. I lurked around the forum just to see what goes on in there, and they flame on each other, espcially new members. Some asks a simple question, and instead of giving a simple but helpful answer they flame again. I've always thought "Z" owners were kind of cocky on the road, I guess they're just str8 cocky

PS: If we have 350z owners here, I don't mean any disrespect. I have a few buddies with 350z's too. I guess i'm speaking towards the general "Z" crowd

a lot of car communities are like that. heck, i even run one that flares up once in a while like that. its called being able to hide behind a computer and saying whatever u want because the screen name isnt your real name.

The only reason CL is not like that is because we have great Mods that handle their jobs in a timely manner....although sometimes I do feel like flaming on newbs..

If everyone used the philosophy, "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all" most of the time you wouldn't have that problem. I mean if someone asks for opinions and you have a negative opinion well then that's different. But if someone asks a dumb question, sometimes it's better to just move on to another thread.

Had one of the first track edition Zed's in the states in `02 and was one of the earliest members on that site.

Don't miss it a bit. Let's hope the 370 iterations don't end up so bad.

You do realize that if you've bothered with the stickies or announcements you would have gotten your answer right?

I have a GS300 and a 350Z roadster. I use both sites and I’m always impressed with the CL interactions, my350Z.com is just different; not good, not bad, just different. It seems to be not as technical or involved. I personally feel more “connected” on CL.

Just my two cents.
