You could aways start talking about bacon and penguins and rebodies of cuda's and zombies, etc..., then you'd fit right in!   :icon_smile_big:

Oh yes, the good 'ole Barrelcuda arguement never ends over there. ;)

Every board has it's good and bad points. There's about twenty members there that seem to be miserable all the time and try to make sure they spread it around.

There are some sharp people in the tech section.

I post there and have only been irritated by one guy , that johnrr guy...the "ignore this user's posts" feature takes care of that though. 

as far as the general membership, the one thing that really stands out is how when a question is asked, say "how can I get more HP out of my 383?"  all you get for answer is "why would you build one of those, get a 440" 
This happens on a lot of message boards, but it's a lot more common there than other places.

Lots of good tech there, can't deny that.  There are more than a few guys there who have turned a wrench in their day.  there's great guys here too, but you can get answers to your questions quicker there sometimes.

I'm 100% unimpressed with MOPARTS. The few times I've went there I would post a question when I really needed help on a project. I'd check back a few hours later and the post would be buried 2 pages back and NEVER answered. I can honestly say for the 6 years I've been here (original D-C.com  & here) I think I've only had 2 questions out of hundreds not answered.

And I like to think when I past some "look how I did this" type post people here appreciate it.

I know the feeling.... used to spend a lot of time there; now more of a lurker, just 'cuz I don't want to deal with the crap I know inevitably comes my way when I do post anything. Still a lot of good tech info there; just gotta dig to find it.

I agree.  I used to post general B body questions there in the A-12 forum and basically got my head bashed in because I was restoring a car other than an A-12 even though the A-12 cars used a lot of the exact same parts, suspension, etc, that our chargers do.  Since then, it pretty much left a bad taste in my mouth but go there as a lurker to see the resto forum now and then.

The "A-12" Forum is now the "Moparts Restoration and A-12" forum so any mopar restoration question should be welcome. :P

Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

No vaccine, but there's a cure.  It's called "stop visiting Moparts".  You'll be cured in less than a day.

Bingo. I posted one thread over there. It was deleted with out a warning. That's all it took to show me the place blows..  :cheers:

This place is where it's at!!

not_a_charger is pretty fast on his toes to delete a thread it it isn`t 100% correct. :smilielol:

There are nice guys and assholes over at moparts...its all good.  I fluctuate between sites, sometimes I like it here better, others I like it over on Moparts better.  As far as the clique goes, yeah, its there, but there aren't that many "members" in it...just a small number of people who happen to post A LOT, so it seems like they are the Moparts "in crowd."

The people there who REALLY know their stuff start to stand out after a while.  JohnRR, Rhinodart, Streetwize, etc.  John RR is a perfect example.  I couldnt stand him at first, until I met the guy.  he is actually a super-nice guy, he just doesnt pull punches and has ZERO patience for stupid crap.  That's why he is no longer a mod. 

I ain't got time for pain, the only pain I got time for is the pain i put on fools how don't know what time it is.

maybe I would think different If I met him, but from what i used to see him post, he seems mean.  people do make mistakes like not searching before a question is asked, etc....  but that doesn't give anyone license to be rude.  he also has a real vendetta against 440 source.  maybe he's changed his tune, but before I started ignoring him, he felt the need to comment on every single post that even remotely referenced 440 source, holding them to standards that nobody else gets held to.  We all get it, it's made in Asia, now move on with your life. 

I gotta say that I really like stu, mid pen mopars.  That guy is funny as hell!  the stuff he comes up always makes me laugh.

I am on there very seldom. How do you see the threads you post in without scrolling through all the pages....probably something simple but I have yet to figure it out.

Hey - I never said anything bad about you!  :'(

Is there a vaccine?

You could edit your hosts file and put in an entry like this:

moparts.com        67.202.73.18

Then, every time you typed in www.moparts.com, you'd end up at www.dodgecharger.com instead.  :coolgleamA:
The downside: if someone posts a link to a thread over there, you'll get an error when you click it.
