imoc, helpfull as ever.

is there some database on who to help and who no to help on this forum?



from what i can see on here, users will bend over backwards for certain users to help them out...


all seems a bit clicky.

the odd occasion i try this forum, it reminds me why i didnt renew my membership.

its a shame as there are a few people that really know there stuff here.

imo imoc is the most uninviting forum i have ever visited

[dansREV2turbo]

thanks steve. posting that at the same time.

i admit there are some people that are willing to help, but the vast majority of people wont even think of replying unless its a well known user

James

[dansREV2turbo]

thanks jamea, ill try him too

[Steve Horrocks]

Crickey, 2 responses of help in 2 hours for something thatpeople don't normally do. I'd saw that was a fairly decent response!

I'd recommend Mark (nightspirit) as well, great lad with a lot of experience.

[dansREV2turbo]

yes it ha go an ok response.

but in general from what ive seen on here in the past 3 years i still stand by what i say.

[Neil_turbo]

If thats your main experience i can't help but wonder why with posts like that! Not exactly a post that will make people want to help you is it

either way...

+1 for mark - used a few times.

Also only heard good things of wiggee

[dave_f]

You waited all but 2 hours on a friday in the middle of the day before you made that response...... . Theres no conspiricy out there to not help you.

Maybe just maybe the people who looked at the topic didnt have a useful answer, did you want them to post saying 'sorry i can't help you'

[Lewis Jay]

Thougth I would add to this unhelpful topic................

"I dont know"

[redmr89]

ive been on here a lot of years and yes if your a member that posts a lot you do get a better responce. but thats just life. its about building relationships. better relationships get better responses. dont rubbish this forum it is very helpfull and infomative.

[dansREV2turbo]

i know it can help, and is informative in some cases.

maybe a bit hasty to post that i agree, but that is what it seemed like on here for a while now, even when i did post every day. no i dont go to meets oh hum.

i guess i cracked from previous experiance, when christmas is round the corner, a headlight bulb is out on my car with no uk supplier and im looking at about 200 quid for a bulb that i cant get hold of, i think that would make anyone impatient and pi$$ed off..

If thats your main experience i can't help but wonder why with posts like that! Not exactly a post that will make people want to help you is it

read above paragraph.
not exactly much time on my hands, is there really much point in writing an entire page about it?
it was a basic question, didnt need alot of explaining, i did put a at the end as a please.
it wasnt as if i put 'tell me now where i can get this bulb from',


did me asking for help not come across polite then?

[-:[KM]:-]

£200 for a bulb...



What is it exactly..?

[Neil_turbo]

did me asking for help not come across polite then?

First post - yes - very polite

Second post - sorry but its a no from me!

Don't worry anyway - we all get wound up - Merry Christmas

[dansREV2turbo]

£200 for a bulb...



What is it exactly..?

well £220 for a bulb to be exact. but that is not my bulb pictured, mine has a motor assembly attached to it which id imagine would cost more

[-:[KM]:-]

I take it that a normal HID won't work then?

IIRC I paid £70 a wee while ago for a pair, they've probably come down a lot by now. What bulb is it exacty (H7, H4, etc)?

[dansREV2turbo]

its a h4 lo/hi beam. look at the connectors and they are totally different to ebay ones
