Vent about NASIOC

[rllyrckt]

alright as some of you know, i am organizing a "rally", so i wanted to spread the word about DI and the "fun" factor of our cars. well i got a nasty "smack in the face" i posted a forum, and it was closed because they beleive it was takin "street cars" and wanting to raise hooliganizm. actually heres the exact words. ""Seems like your intentions are hooliganisms on open roads w/ streetcars. Not a bright idea and not rally."":machinegunleft::pissed::bs::angryfinger::punch:. ahhhhhh im a little irrate about it and why this thread was treated this way, but when somebody organizes the "nautilus run" which i would have loved to go on, anyways, what would you call this. perfectly suitable/legal, but when you take it OFF ROAD its hooliganizm? WTF:roll: anyways, i dont know if i offended anyone on here with what i think of NASIOC on here. i beleive i posted it in the correct area. if i didnt, then please move it. anyways i guess subaru's arent capable of handle off road. new news to me, did any of you know that?

[RS-ti_Andy]

what the h*ll!? they should burn in he*l!!!!!! arg!! they are so bias! thats not even fair! they think they know everything! and own all subarus..grrr

[kevinblahh]

i want my exhaust to hurry up and arrive:pissed:

[Blix666]

dude...we all have similar opinons of Nastysock. the site is mostly populated by "tuners" who would rather rub thier cars with a diaper than use it for what it was meant for...also, it sounds like that mod is on a power trip.

after viewing the thread, you prolly could've worded a lil' different so as to not attract the negative attention. i would just change the whole thread to a "meet & greet" and leave out any connotations of rally. i'd open another one under the subterfuge of a "backwoods cruise". they'll prolly just close it again though...

....wrong thread???

[BorkedWRX]

I havn't really been a fan of Nasioc since the I-club split years ago. I thought it went away but they had a lot of complaints about mods being insane and locking/deleting threads for no apparent reason.

DI and I-club are just about the only forums I visit now, though I havn't really been on iclub for a while now.

[rllyrckt]

yeah i thought about reposting it but when they see that it was from the same poster and the same type of thread they will prolly just close it. i know why they closed it, i left all of them out because like it was said before they dont wanna get their scoobies dirty and make them look very good, oh well, i htink i will get a good turn out on here, and at least everyone on here has the same attitude as i do towards THEM!!!. thanx again for the support, oh well their loss their cars will never fell as good as ours will hehehehe

[carl]

I don't mind nasioc - there's a lot of good info there once you sift through all the bs

[Blix666]

there's a lot of good info there

all NASIOC's good for...finding previously posted information...god forbid you ask for any though..........just fahget abaaat it

[Drew84]

I only use the New England Section for local info

[rllyrckt]

yeah i found some good info, but anything besides that yeah forget about it!!!!!

[kevinblahh]

....wrong thread???

just aggrivated :shootsself:

but i do agree about nasioc, alot of them do put out alot of bs..

but some good info also

[BlackParis]

I only go to Nasioc if it shows up in a google search ... OR I am looking for used parts ;)

[rllyrckt]

Nabisco can be useful provided you are aware of its dangers ahead of time. If you keep your arms and legs inside the car until it has come to a complete stop and follow all of the manufacturers directions then you too can have a safe and enjoyable experience. My advice is to know your purpose for going there in the first place, stick to your mission and search like there's no tommorow prior to posting a question. I've been on the boards there for over 5 years lurking/learning for the majority of the time and am amazed when I get called a newb by someone who's been there for less than a month simply because they have a higher post count than I. I am not a post whore by any stretch and could care less about my "rating" on any board. I ususally refrain from posting unless I feel that I have something relevant worth sharing and I find that the vast majority of my questions can be easily answered by searches.I do find most of the boards to be quite informative and rewarding. This one I am proud to be a part of and hope to play a more constructive role here in the future.

lol wow.. you should be a journalist! haha i bet your IQ is a little higher than most on both threads! haha

yeah im a post whore.. but just because i have over 600 posts in a short time doesnt make me better than you.. and thats why we rock here at DI!!

[dppaladino]

I agree nasioc is full of alot of *******s and pavement princesses, but I like how much respect they give to GC owners, regardless of turbo or NA. And the OT can be pretty epic sometimes.

[PSG STI]

Hm, we've posted about our rallycrosses on NASIOC no problem...

- Matt

[rllyrckt]

yeah i dont think they have problem with the "sanctioned" rallycross, but my problem came when i posted up about my meet and get dirty meet....i guess they figured goin off road was bad, but having a "meet and cruise" on the pavement on roads with traffic was o.k. or the mod might have just been on a power trip? i dunno, thier loss, that all i can say

[rollo]

I agree that NASIOC is too big and too cliquey for its own good, that the mods can be heavy-handed and that they tend to focus on 'the street'.

But.. I know why they closed you down the first time. It's a terminology and a CYA thing - on one hand, you can't say that getting a bunch of people together and hooning it up on a dirt road is "rally", and on the other, the site can't be seen as condoning something which has the air of illegality about it.

Barrett posted about it here before:
http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/showthread.php?p=17908#post17908

And Mike, the pre-eminent rallycross organiser round here posted on our local board actually yesterday along the same lines:
http://www.rallyxportal.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=7005#7005

So yeah.. I know what you're saying about NASIOC. But we have our reasons for wanting to get dirty and they have their reasons for staying clean. No need to take sides.

[belladonna]

i wouldn't worry about those idiots over on nabisco...you should be fine with the thread in tri-state though...

about nasioc is good for is buying/selling parts IMO...at least that's all i do on there mainly

[lminette]

Yeah! I typically only use Nazic@$k for the classifieds as well. While I don't hate on street guys it seems like they really have no respect for the guys who want to get dirty over there!!

[409industries]

This one I am proud to be a part of and hope to play a more constructive role here in the future.

Amen Brotha!

I do feel like i push the limits a bit when i post videos on Nasioc that are whored out with dirtyimpreza stuff in it. But thats video content... no harm no foul.

Where things run the risk of being locked or closed is when you blatently try to refer people to other websites (ie dirtyimpreza.com). Just be very mindful of the wording you use and you wont get your thread locked. Also its a good idea to do things like "more information can be found here (http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/#)" and link the "here" word to your target link rather than posting:

Leave NASIOC and visit DIRTYIMPREZA because its so much better than NASIOC (http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/#)

but whatever, nasioc serves its purpose (FS classifieds and local events only for me)

[lminette]

Amen!!!

I'm officially pissed now. So I went into the vendor reviews thread to give Corrupt Motors some props and the f-in cocks deleted it.:machinegunleft::angryfinger: Wtf!! All that I said was they are good guys with good products and that I was happy with their service! There is no reason that they should have deleted my post. Guess I'll just have to make a build thread for the RS over there so that I can give them recognition. F-ing bastards!:FU:

[rollo]

Yeah right.. the Evo guy as the liaison between two Subaru sites. HA!

Anyway I have about 5 posts on NASIOC, I'm a nobody over there :D

6 more posts Lou...

[lminette]

Make that 3!! Well 2 after this one!!!

[pigpen]

until now, i had only used pm at nabisco...my first post is for you, rllyrckt!

i've found what most others here have already said...classifieds and previously written information are about it. however, i have to say i found the 12/21 philly region rallycross posted over there first...;)

but if your post got shut down and this one (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1409677) didn't, i really have to tell everyone how thankful i am to have this community instead of that one...

[wolfman79]

I'm on there too now.

I read that "weapons" thread and some of those guys just scare me. I guess Denver isn't as bad as I thought. The best weapon I've got in my car is my right foot and the steering wheel. I've got a leathrman and a mag light in there under the seat but those are more for the emergency fixes on the side of the dirt road out in BFE at 1 in the morning.

[kylelikewhoa]

I have alot of problems with Nasioc, and the people on it. I've been on Focus forums for the last 5 years, and I've had more problems with people on Nasioc in the 3 months I've been on it than I ever had on the 5 years on the other Forums. I dont get it over there, it seems like they just like to be douche bags. Not everyone ofcourse, but a whole lot of them. And ofcourse, the normal retaliation for them is "it's a forum, you have to expect to be criticised, or flamed, or blah blah blah...", well, no I dont.

I've only been on this forum for a little while, but so far the only thing even close to any kind of non-positive comment I've read is "your car is to clean", and that's what makes this forum so much better. I'm really glad I found this forum. You guys are chill, and I like that.

[I Like It Sideways]

I totally agree with you about the general attitude of this site versus others. Thats probably why I have nearly twice as many posts here in the last 3 months as I do over on Nabisco in the last 3 years.

[wolfman79]

Well I think some of us might be taking this aversion to Nabisco a little too far. My feelings about that site and another more local one(for me) is the difficulty one can experience in trying to get real answers to honest questions. The primary frustrations I have are the inevitable flaming/newbie-ism responses and the inability of certain mods to keep things under control. As I've stated previously I still feel it is a most invaluable resource to the Impreza and Subaru community provided it is used properly. The amount of information available over there is greater than most other sites combined, including our beloved DirtyImpreza. This is not a knock on DI or any other site, just my recognizing that nasioc has been around much longer than most other sites and the sheer volume of members means a much greater pool of experiences. There are a plethora of posters over on nasioc for whom I have nothing but the upmost respect, and I suspect that some of you do also.

I spend more time here on DI and post more here due to my feeling a greater sense of community. This is primarily because of the similar methods that we enjoy our cars in and the goals and dreams that we have for them. If we begin to act in a manner similar to that which plagues some of the other respected sites in the Subaru/Impreza world then we are no better than they are. My previous posts with regards to nasioc(Nabisco) were meant as advice to new and unfamilar users with the hope that they can use that to avoid any unneseccary drama which might dampen their new found appreciation for Subaru.

I understand and empathize with the OP of this thread in regards to his frustrations and am happy that we are able to provide an outlet for said frustration. However we should keep in mind the reason why a post like that needed to be put on nasioc in the first place. The numbers.

/end rant/ again

PS Happy Christmas Eve everyone.

I have learned tons from the site, especially the ones who contributed to my huge post about the issues my franken motor was having. I was sure to thank everyone who contributed. When the right people read and respond it can be an amazing site and a great resource. Anything and everything i research leads me there in some way or another.

[Not All There]

UP2, thanks man, wish you did too! I have been spending so much time on the car I have been slacking in other areas lol.

Speaking of your frankenmotor, do you happen to have any links for some good info on it. My favorite list on IE was wiped courtesy of my 3yo and I apparently forgot to subscribe to the threads I had my eye on.

Thanks. It's not for me but a friend who as yet I've been unable to convince to join the boards. He's picking up a Leggy OB with a borked motor and wanted options on how to fix it. Normally I'd do the grunt work myself and dig up the threads again but I ship in 2 weeks and time is sort of at a premium.

[rllyrckt]

wpflman, thank you for expressing my feeling towards nasioc....yes i was angry abotu the contradictionism of the site on certain issues, nut on the other hand...it has been an invaluable resource for myself....so in a way i am mad, but in another, i am content and pleased with other factors of the site...

[wolfman79]

Not a problem. In case we didn't realize that damn english comp course I took last semester must've paid off because I can't seem to stop writing sometimes. And if I was up in the PA area I'd definitely be down for a meet&greet on the dirt/snow. My mom grew up in PA and I've been there a few times and absolutely love it.
