ALL 2IS MEMBERS PLEASE READ: Establishing a sense of community in the 2 Gen IS forum

[cspec]

I really enjoy this community, but there is a real redundancy in the posts, people really have to use the search function before they make the same posts that have been discussed.

You really can't help but be annoyed at those people don't bother to use the search function and expect members to be helpful all the time.

I hear you about the redundent posts, however i think its really rude how people go about telling them, there is no reason to make someon feel stupid, they may have searched, and maybe they have not, but i think there are too many fourm cops here that are not mods who overstep there boundries, here is a trick about the redundent posts......... dont read them, ignore them and move on.

Much needed bump.........
Let me add, can we just stop with the IS 350 is bigger than your IS 250 threads? We are all Lexus brother and sisters. Lexus made 2 different models instead of just one like the previous IS 300 and the strategy is working.

I pray IS-F owners don't join here next year and say "lol at the IS 350".....

Someone is always bigger and faster.

This thread is an excellent idea and one I strongly support. I just joined up and I can tell you, being a veteran of Supraforums, the "mine is bigger than yours" disease will eat at and destroy the feeling of community and comraderie many seek in joining these boards in the first place. On SF, owners of MKIV NA and MKIII Supras are made to feel like orphans in the greater Supra community, to the everlasting detriment of the site as a whole.

I'm particularly interested in the forthcoming IS-F, but I'm a car guy first and foremost. If a guy (or gal) adopts a feeling of superiority because of the vehicle they own, what happens when you meet those with faster, more powerful cars, higher incomes, bigger homes and higher educations? There will always be someone with more, however you define "more". I can tell you from experience having a very cool sense of community is far better than the backbiting, bickering and fractiousness I've witnessed first-hand on other boards. Props to the thread starter for vowing to gain control of this issue.

well said~!
sick and tired of seeing all these IS350 vs IS250 threads
everyone has his or her own reason for purchasing certain cars/models
and
everyone knows that there will be always SOMEONE FASTER than you

I just joined here but I'm all for civility.

I'm a major contributor to the Steve Hoffman music forums and we are very well moderated. OTOH, we have over 10,000 members and things happen.

Most of our members play by the rules, but there are always a few troublemakers to be found. At first I was offended by a few of them, but eventually I realized to just ignore them.

Well I just join this FORUM a couple of days and so far so good.. I dont see much bad stuff going on.. But theirs a lot of beautiful cars in here, and its really helpful when I browse around.. It gives me a lot of idea's and to others also. Lets keep this forum running and be adults, but have fun at the same time.. Competition can be good and bad, but lets keep it clean.. And I do agreed with this "THREAD"!!

[IS-SV]

Also new with IS350 2007 too....

[Rashoodz]

[IS-SV]
