@alta
my sentiments exactly !
i joined about 200days before you did and have been reading pakwheels as a non member from even before that.
i joined because i very sincerely am a car enthusiast. i eat sleep and dream cars. so the FIRST opportunity i got to discuss with fellow enthusiasts i grabbed it.
it was AMAZING to be a part of a family that shared a wealth of knowledge.
but like ALL social forums be it online or physical, it got polluted. what started out as an "elite enthusiasts forum" turned out to be a medium of showing off whose mamoon chacha phuppa is richer, whose car is shinier and who can shout and abuse louder than ones counterpart in the EVER INCREASING arguments we have on this forum now.
just like any new social place in Karachi, it starts out great with only a select few regular people, then the masses join in and unless controlled, ruin the experience for even the regular visitors.
my total number of posts are 100 because my heart just isnt in it anymore. i dont want to contribute to people who're only here for bragging rights and cant even maintain decent decorum during a discussion.
i mean fighting over the MINUTEST of issues like a couple of 5 year olds when their ages show them to be in the mid 20s !!!
i could spend all night pouring my heart out about this but what is the point. lets just hope this new "exclusive club" that panicslayer mentioned has a stricter entering and monitoring policy.
from a serious car enthusiast to another enthusiast...i know where you're coming from, but there's only so much a mod can do. i feel it is the responsibility of serious members to report "assets" until the mods are bound to ban them...for life.
