The thing I like about the Stagea forum is the welcoming attitude of everyone involved, it's a bit like hanging out with a group of mates in my garage or at a barbie.

There's some good natured shit talking, and sometimes some pretty harsh shit talking, but again; like hanging out in the garage; the combatants are known to one another.

If I was talking shit in my garage, and my mates were hanging some shit on me, I'd grin and cop it. I'd then proceed to hang some shit on them.

If some guy I'd never met walked in off the street and started hanging shit on me; just because everyone else was, I'd tell him to get f**ked.

That's how I treat everyone on this forum.
If I know the person, and I know they'll cop it; I'll hang some shit; fully expecting to get some back, because that's the way I act with my mates.
If I don't know them, I don't hang shit; then cut up rough when they tell me to f**k off.

I'm old so I don't really know how young people act on the internerd, but I reckon I'm pretty close to the mark.

I also know this is why the Stagea group is so successful, and has spawned so many friendships, and has amassed so much information.

I'm interested to know what other people think.


Cheers, Dale.

With only posted words its hard to judge how someone will take 'sledging'. If anything is posted in a online forumn it shall be expected that you are not always going to like what you read as ones opinion differs to another. If offence is taken the telling someone to "f@ck off" is not going to deal with the issue. Then it shows that person's inability to deal with threads or immaturity to comprehend what is being said. To say it frank "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"

Agreed Dale. The stagea section is very friendly compared to other parts of the forum.

I like to use two rules. Would you be okay seeing what you have written on the front page of the paper? If no, best not post it. The second one is, are you unsure a joke will be taken the right way? Yes, dont post it.

But what do we know Dale, we drive volvos and are old.

+1 Dale...

This is the only forum I bother posting anything on because it's the only one that seems to get (mostly) intelligent responses.

That's also the reason that I organise the occasional Stagea meet, and have made some good friends in the process...

Hopefully this tradition continues with the ever decreasing entry price, and therefore ever increasing number of owners/members: It would be sad to see it turn into some of the other "popular" forums...

Did some war break out here or something? I would have to say that the type of vehicle sets the demographic. A few years back I still used to peruse a few international forums, one where the types of vehicles could be purchased by 15-16 year old Americans, and the influence that had on the atmosphere of the forum was noticeable.

^^ pretty much.

I know this thread is aimed at what happened in the stagline thread but mark was soon informed of what was going on and is all sorted.

And I know daleo was basically giving me the big "f**k off" as he described in the op of this thread, but.. I was expecting it so i don't really mind. Dale knows I love him, mark does too.

In saying that, if you don't like what someone says, don't even acknowledge the post. Not one person here (other than mods) can control what someone else is going to say. And the only (mature) way to deal with it is to ignore it.

If you choose to retaliate, expect it to escalate and rather quickly, although I had a stageA, and had a fairly decent input to this forum, I still enjoy irritating people, and by retaliating you are just feeding it.

I used to organize all the Vic meets and to say the least the men an women that attend are some of the best people I've met, few of them I consider family. I'm happy to say I was apart of this community.

But c'mon, if you call me a fkn pinhead. You've swallowed the hook!

TL;DR - make love not war.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
