That site is just too frustratingly slow. Is it a conspiracy to get paying people to convert?

I am in- I want a more mature site, and I plan on paying the dues as soon as I am certain us3s is a good alternative.

Its the dreamers who ruin it for the long term diehard 3s owners.

The maturity here isn't all that, but everyone here is great. We like to have fun and don't to worry about always being politicaly correct. A lot of us here are members of 3SI too and are also tired of all the BS. What's your main peeve about 3SI besides being too slow.

Welcome aboard. I try to stay off of 3SI due to the same problem. I only go there late nights or early mornings. Research gets done then.

Welcome aboard. Glad to see you here. Contrary to what Eric said, there is a high level of maturity here. One thing is that we don't have any of the 14 and 16 year old magazine racers here. That makes for less flames and more knowledge being shared. It's still new but we are trying to grow. I hope you can help.

Just so you know, that is the original reason that US3S was created. Because of the slowness of 3SI, although it took me longer to get it going than I had planned and 3SI didn't have any more issues when I did get it up and running.

Here we go again.

Here we go again. What I meant was, we like to have more fun over here. There are very few if any 14 - 16 yr olds. It's people like me and Rich that act like kids sometime, but we do know when to stop and where the lines are drawn.

I pretty much quit 3SI too. This site is much quicker and like stated prior the maturity level is much higher here too.

I don't know about the maturity level but we all can take a joke or two. We know what is in good fun. We still act like the 12 y/o's we want to be.:D

IMO, 3si with 10000 users is ripe for irresponsible behavior. I.E. some mustang handle guy who has his whole profile dedicated to the defamation of vr4s.

How can someone spend their time doing this above, and make such an effort, when there is endless entertainment on the internet elsewhere?? It is serious boredom for folks like this...

I am an owner of 3s tts for 7 years now. I fell in love with them before I had my license. I appreciate their rarity, and enjoy their power. It's sad though, when they get in the hands of idiots that make us look bad. They also drive up our insurance rates as they crash these cars that have now become more affordable to the masses.

Shows he likes the car but can't afford it. Mustangs are cheap. Our cars are not. He spedns his time talking or thinking about our cars but secretly desires to be one of us.

I come here for socializing. But I admit to using 3Si for parts searching. There's just more of a userbase for that type of thing.

I like to use both forums.
You want another person with about 50% negative comments towards other people on 3si??
I will give you a hint. He is not a prodigal son.

:( :( :( :( I am a 16yr old "Magazine Racer" i guess... But yet I try and contribute "what I know", and try to learn.. to help others. Along with I have told the other 3 local 3kGT's i saw in the area about this site.. I really felt that the comment "espically coming from the site admin" really sets aside the fact that a 16yr old CAN actually be a contribution.

He is talking about all the younger members that want to do nothing else but argue and troll about crap they do not understand. Post something on 3Si and you will have some very good responses but you will have 45 "kids" who know nothing about what you asked give you some information or talk about how you are stupid for asking that question. If you contribute, as you have 91, it was not ment towards you. Keep asking the questions and providing us with usable knowledge, and you will always be welcome.

Amen brother. If you post anything, I mean anything on 3SI you will be flamed. Everyone is quick to call BS. 3SI is full of good sources, dont get me wrong, its just full of dreamers and wannaB's too. I have been a member there since June 02 but I dont even think I have 10 posts. I like reading some of the stuff, but when it comes to socializing, I'll come here first.

The bigger the population the more you will attract the trolls. If this grows as big as 3SI, you will see as many trolls too.

I do agree that 3si is really slow all the time. I do however still go there because there are so many more posts because that site has been around longer. If i need to look something up i go there; however if i need a quick anwser cause i can't find what i need, i post here because i can get on and people respond quickly to outreaches for help. Thanks to richard who seems to be on 24/7 for the quick responses

Just wanted to say, eventhough I never write, that this is a great site. Very fast and people stick to the topics. It's all about the cars. I don't understand all the flaming stuff going on. Mods or no mods people drive these cars because they are unique. That's the bottom line.

I still get error messages saying the server is too busy. The only reason I even go there any more is to check on the status of RIPP's supercharger.
