I dont think its a matter of a site family. I normally get good answers to anything I ask. I did learn a while ago that folks just dont like answering the same questions over and over again. How to set timing, how to adjust valves, how to remove springs, horsepower estimates, etc. etc. I thought the same thing as you at first, but then I learned to use the Search function and found that most of my questions have already been answered before. I also believe that if someone knows your answer you will get an answer. Its better to get nothing at all than get loads of incorrect info.

 

3/4 of your posts are asking for help, 1/2 of whats left is bitching about not geting enough help. I have asked for help many times on this site and have been nothing but gratefull for what I got, Not everyone knows the answer to all of your qustions, Some questions get alot of response some just get the one guy who has had a similar problem. I know this is sure not the way to get people to want to help.

So heres a reply for you :thumbsup:

 

I know this is sure not the way to get people to want to help.

I could careless. Not bitching at all Buddy, You would think there is enough people on this site that
A might know of someone
B can help...

I guess I was expecting more from this site.. Oh well

 

I got nothing better to do than look at every thread.And this is an honest reply.

 

Come on gary you can drink beer.

 

I looked and replied . I look at a lot of posts just to learn and compare. I'm a relative amateur on a lot of these subjects. I have also made posts that didn't get a lot of replies but am happy with the info I do recieve whether I find it useful or not :thumbsup: :beers:.

 

If I can help I will,regardless of how many times its asked,but remember I am here to learn as well so my knowlage is limited

 

So I know that I don't come on here a lot and post but whats the deal.. Yes I have had some good responses but I mean come on. One post that I put up a while ago had 400 something views and very little replies. Also post a question last night 36 views. And one response,(Thanks for that I have looked into it and knew all about it).

I get the whole "site family thing" as I am a long time member on a bunch of other sites, but REALLY....

Oh well thanks for all of the views!!!!!! As I am sure that I will get a TON of views and a few replies...

Rest assured, you ARE a member of 'the site family'. As a matter of fact you remind me of my whiney baby sister when we were growing up, I ignored at every opportunity.

Seriously Jesse, I looked at some of your other posts, and you received good information to your questions. As far as finding someone to re-wire your car for you, that specialty isn't widely practiced, probably because you couldn't charge enough for the amount of labor involved to make a living at it. I recommend you purchase a factory wiring diagram for your ride, and find an electrically savvy gearhead buddy who'll work for beer, to come over and help you get it done. As you've probably discovered, if you're not a competent electrician it's not wise to rip out all your wiring and start over from scratch. If you want to deliver the car to Alabama, and leave it here for the winter, I'll rewire it for you for just the cost of the materials.

 

That would sound really good but The whole "whiney baby sister thing", doesn't sit very well.
Soo thanks but NO

 

Pretty much I found all my answers in this one post, I just wanted to prove my theory.

Im done I got better things to do.

 

That's post #15. He's done, he's got better things to do.

If I want to be surrounded by negativity, I'll just go to work this morning.....

Oh well, back to pushing Grandsport around.....:hurray:

 

Dang, you'll be missedl:waving:

 

thats not cool, even as a paying member i realize not everyone on the site is obligated to see that my needs are met, if i ask a question i usually get an answer and it is either "this" or "this is what i did, it might work for you" but this is a pretty jovial place, just look in Bench Racing about the Razor i got, these are good people, its not personal, unless you goat them into it.

 

Now that is a sharp reply.

 

What exactly is your question Jessie?

 

what exactly is your question jessie?

mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom

 

And it is care less, not careless. Yes, I am the spelling police, you got a ticket.

 

l If my mom was still around you would have a sheet of peanut butter cookies in the oven right now!

 

Ain't this a great place to expose an open wound?

 

Ain't this a great place to expose an open wound?

Yeah, and it's a great way to use sandpaper too.

 

Damn, was I this abrasive when I first came here? No wonder nobody liked me. :clonk:

Then again I guess it's possible not much has changed.

 

I still dont like you.

 

I've had my SS for 2 years this Christmas. I have asked a lot of ignorant (as opposed to stupid) questions. I have always got so much help. I thank all of you for your effort.
Everybody except Grandsport !!! Just kidding Gary.

Thanks,
Randy

At least I try to help.

 

Over the years this place has seen more refreshes through my username than I can begin to imagine... any time I have ever needed help through any mechanical problem, Chevelle or otherwise I have always found help here. Looking back I can't believe how stupid some of my first posts sounded. This site has helped lead me through my first engine build (complete from top to bottom) along with more troubleshooting help then I could ever dream of. Hell a lot of times I just sit and read through the threads out of sheer boredom until I see somthing to add my 2 cents to... Although I think I should steal back my crumple zone comment someone snaged....

 

Jesse,
Sometimes you have to bump your threads to the top. Thats what I do.
If you dont get any replies, "search" is an awesome tool.

:yes: :yes: :yes:

 

First yr it seemed I had a hard time getting replies also but there are topics that are more popular than others, also depends on the site traffic some sites are busier than others.

For kicks I started a "bolts" thread way back and surprisingly it got a lot of replies. Pets give you a lot of attention if thats what you really need

 

definitely the best Chevelle site on the net, and I think a great group of members.

You might spend too much time here when your startup page is the whats new on the team sites page. You can really tell when someone is having a boring night when you see how many posts they have made in the past few hours...

 

Some of this can be attributed to those that click on a thread and read it but dont have an answer for it. Not every view you get will automatically mean those viewers know how to help or give you an helpfull answer. Its not worth getting frusterated over really.

 

Hey yinz guys,easy now.:boxing: :waving:

 

that's the way it goes, Jesse. The car threads get 6 views and no responses but the thread you post about your new mole with the hair in it will get thousands of views and several dozen responses

As usual,Andy is right.

 

Most of my questions have been answered by doing a search .I look at most all posts but if I cant help I dont try to offer an answer because a wrong answer is worse than no answer . I have always received plenty of help when needed here but if you have an attitude someone will call you out on it .

 

Most of my questions have been answered by doing a search .

Most of the first answers to a question is "Did you try searching?"

 

I think he may have joined up with Stuart Griffin in the search for information rich with details and free beer.

 

ummmmmmmm, beeeerrrr

 

One of my favorite topics.
