This forum is a great place to share ideas and get some feedback. Over the years we have built up a broad base of 'common knowledge'. The problem with common knowledge is that it can stifle creativity. For example, we just had a thread about large bore four cylinder motors, and it immediately received the standard response (myself included). It was also suggested that the place to talk about new and experimental ideas for these motors is another site.
I'm just worried that people are afraid to post about their new ideas, for fear of being told why it won't work, why they should have done something else, etc. In fact I know of one person who sent out a really cool email about some 914 work he did, but didn't post it here for exactly the reason above. What's the 914World like from your perspective? |

ok guys, timeout ...
you need to put things in perspective. with almost 8000 members, no matter what you post, there will most likely always be someone in the mix who doesn't like it! you post, you get 10 replies and one of them is telling you something you don't want to hear and you take that one response and make it the sole reason for not coming here anymore? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) i mean, come on, please ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) bashing someone for no reason is stupid, but stating your personal opinion about something should not get everybody's panties in a bunch either. i've had several people tell me that they don't like the 916 frontend on my car. should i not post here anymore? after all, somebody just told me they didn't like my car! on a public forum with 8000 members! what a outrage! btw. that was my feeble attempt in sarcasm ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) ya'all need to grow a thicker skin and not take everything said here so dam personal. nobody should be afraid to post about what they are doing and how they are doing it and nobody should be afraid to post if they dislike something they see.
