MarkyMark Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Read this the other day, generalised i know but it proves that most forums are experiencing pretty much the same as to whats been going on on here lately. The article was written in relation to a guy called richie who got slagged off for the mods he wanted to do his saph, goes a bit like this - "Richie has endured all manner of abuse (both personel and aimed at the car) for trying to do something different. While most of the abuse can be taken in good humour, car forums are encouraging extreme peer pressure, with users handing out scorn for no other reason than that they can. If were not careful, we'll all end up building identical cars for fear of having our pride and joy slated in public, or worse, not bothering at all. Fair play to richie for sticking to his guns and to all the keyboard warriors out there, for your own sake and the scenes, turn off your computer and go and build that car you're always bragging your going to do"Moral of story is - Do what you believe is right and not what everyone else thinks is right I personally thought he'd done a good job of modding his car, good enough to get a mag feature anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboyclub Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) i can see what he means everyone tends to go the safe route these days with a gti rep or something not slating anyone that does as its your choice but i like those who try to do something different and not something you see everywhere you go its good to see a bit of variety ok some people have some weird ideas that look just wrong but those that work out right can look good and even better unique i hope more cars on here start to use thier imagination and try something new Edited July 10, 2007 by badboyclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The thing is, it doesn't matter what kind of car you build someone will hate it. Some people hate GTI reps, some people hate cossie reps and some people hate crazy body kits. Personally I just hate people! Â The thing is, there is constuctive criticism and there are people who are just w@nkers!!You can't please them all, but you can take what they say with a pinch of salt!
