Lex,
Too true. Although there are ppl like Doug, Smitty and Junedog who are valiantly holding it together (read Doug's latest salvos in the Parking Lot).
I'm gonna start getting ignorant with them who'd hijack is300.net--Those three are good teachers.
You should, too.

This board is much more mature and mellow. You don't get jumped on when you say something. It just is not as busy here though.

I visit the IS300.net forumn occasionally and, while it is a great site, I also found there to be a lot of bickering. There seems to be a trend effecting the Acura TL-S site, and some BMW sites too. This is so commonplace on forums and it angers me so much to see people arguing over such endless wars over cars. I am proud of the quality of ClubLeuxs, very much maturity. You guys are great!

Hi,

We have quite a good group of members where we share our experiences with one another. I know that I've learned a lot from the members.

We actually have a ton of traffic just not yet here on the IS board. As I am in the process of buying a manual IS as soon as they are available I hope to learn from other IS owners here on what is the best way to increase the handling and any mechanical problems that might arise.

wow...was there a mass exodus today from IS300.net? i just decided to post here since my parents got an RX (instead of an IS), so I've got questions. this board feels like IS300.net since you're all there too, and I hope people like pure_azn stay don't lurk around here too.

TRDRAV4 - Don't worry about that. We have great moderators here who know how to take care of trouble makers

Yeah once in a while. Few weeks ago we had a little boy talking smack in the RACING forum. But 1niceride made a good point about moderators, so no worries.


IS300.NET is very similar to the Acura-TL forum. They're very busy, yet filled with people who just flames and messes around. I prefer ClubLexus alot more!

i still like IS300.net more (no offense) because its wayy more informative and theres alot of knowledgible minds over there. also the fact that it is purely dedicated to the is300. this site doesnt get mu[ch traffic in the is300 section.

I love CLUBLEXUS.com!!!!!!

I've checked out Is.net a few times and it seems to me like most don't own one or have any plans (or ambition) to get off they're a$$ and work for one, how unfortunate for the real playas over there trying to bring Lexus enthusiam to another level (like here)!

actually alot of those people do own one. just that the ones that DONT are the ones that are causing trouble most of the time, aka trolls.
