    It may help it would separate the hopeless noobs from the noobs with potential

    Ive seen a couple site that have threads that are sorta in the ball park of what im talking about

    lists common repair links That would just be a link to the how to's
    basic info
    mods
    body mods
    links to parts and suppliers of after market go fast stuff
    the basic good stuff to know

    Out of over 20 forums im on ive only seen it on a couple of them

    a thread like that takes a lot of effort to create. im not saying we can't do it, but im saying it is going to take a decent amount of time.

    i think too often a noob is unsure of how reliable some threads are. They have no idea of the reputation and more often visited threads. It's reassuring to them to hear a personal response of "go read this thread"

    I think noobs need to be redirected on their first post... to a FAQ section. To prevent these one post questions we see all the time.

    Ill admit Im passive and will answer most any question no matter how stupid
    being i was taught the only stupid questions are the one that you don't ask
    But Ive seen alot of questions asked over and over and over some times by the same member
    then theres the ones that are just knuckle heads that cant be helped

    A prerequisite (SP) before you can post you have to have viewed those threads and answered 10 questions per thread. I felt like an ass every time I asked a question and the answer had already been posted.
    2001 Grand Prix GTP - Daily Driver12" front brake upgrade ('05 Monte), Raptor tune, Open cone, Front and rear strut tower braces, SS brake hoses, BMR trailing arms, ZZP 3" catted downpipe, Dorman front sway bar, GMPP rear sway bar, solid trans and engine mount, flipped dog bones and Borla exhaust.

    the dont actually read things, if they did we wouldnt get asked how to post a thread/reply

    this gp is my first EVER car (sad to say considering im not a kid lol)
    im sure i asked questions at first, but i knew that Reading would get me where i wanted to be and could go from there.

    there is the faq etc, but they dont read it, the google search their issue, find this forum, join and post or ask how to post lol

    sometimes its worth taking a deep breath and remembering we were all noobs once too,

    ^^x2. the only reason i didn't have the genius idea to find out if anybody here had been able to bolt a supercharger onto a gt is because i asked some facebook group lol. if somebody really wants to learn about a 3800 then they're going to go to the links we post when we get asked the questions for the millionth time and read them like the bible they are. i know i've learned about everything i know from this forum, and i'm sure i asked my fair share of stupid questions

    But if the basic links were in a "noobs" thread type deal
    with the basic auto parts and performance places zzp , intense,wbodystore,3800 perf, thrasher, rock auto, gmparts direct
    and so on then they have an easier time getting to the info

    Hell maybe it wont work was just a thought Im very logical i guess i forget most arent

    thats the problem, you're applying logic lol

    if it was in a noob thread, they wouldnt look there, becuase they are not interested in that, they just want their answer and then gone agian lol

    i kinda like the idea. if they're serious about modding and/or being here then they'll read it. if not, they're just gonna ask their question anyways and we'll still be annoyed. maybe make everything like the for sale section, 25 posts before you can start a thread
