Cool It just dawned on me......

It just dawned on me how much I have learned here at Acurazine! I mean, I have been a "motor head" all my life. But, it is worth so much more to have a place like this for our car. I LOVE it here! Thanks to you all! Well, most of you anyway. I have sent people here. Without worry about how you would treat them. I have found group buys. Went to AcuraZine car club meetings. Even won "Best of Show" once!! Meeting new people. Found some great "how too info". What mods are "best". Almost all at an adult level! Not to forget about the Moderators. You guys are "THE BEST!!" Doing a thank-less job. I just want to say THANKS!!!! Nuff said.

From me anyway. Anyone else feel like I do????

I feel the same way Spiritman. I catch a ration of crap from my daughter and girlfriend because I'm ALWAYS on Acurazine....ALWAYS. (Addiction is correct...)

I've only been a member here for a few weeks, and so far it has been great. There is a great sense of community here just like the other board I belong too, which is hard to find.

I plan on sticking around for a while.

This is definitely an addiction, this is the first page i visit when i wake up, when i get home from work, during the day when i'm off and i have nothing to do, then at night (basically all day).

This page gave me confidence in doing things to my car on my own, instead of paying someone or company to do it - and i'm not good with tools...however the step by step, or pictures give one a new light in tackling these projects. Not to mention that people share what's on sale or where you can get things for dirt cheap...everything is pretty much covered.

Thanks Azine!

I always have liked "forum" type websites, and always look around for the perfect one before I actually sign up. Well as you can see...I'm a member here . I've learned so much, and I've only been a member for a week.

Yea, I've been around here awhile and I will say I have been on MANY forum boards for many different topics but THIS is the only one I check everyday. There's a reason. (of course I am obsessed with my car but there is another reason.) The difference is that the people here on AZine is what makes it better. Definitely a much more mature, understanding, productive, intelligent crowd. (With a few exceptions....well they get ganged up on and kicked in the mouth.)

I have been on forums with discussions that are my professional peers that have NO class, maturity or intelligence. Goes to show that the group you are in doesn't necessarily show the type of people they are. You have to get to know people. I have learned more here than anywhere else.

I too appreciate the info gained on this forum..

What I really can give a high five are to the moderators.. Coming from other online communities I know that discussions can get real stupid quick.. This board is very well regulated and adheres to the rules..

Ron A you do a great job in the BM especially.. Some other boards Forsale sections are a joke..

I agree with everyone. Mods are doing a great job, especially when ppl are out of line and I think its handled fair.
As for AZ in general, I'm seriously on this site all day, from my blackberry, work, home...lol any device I can get to it lol. If only I could spend equal or even a little amount of time on college

I'm on this site every day. I am logged in continuously throughout the work day, and then logged in continuously all evening while at home. On weekends, I'm just logged in throughout the weekend.
Does that mean I'm only on this site once per day?!

Maybe I'll break the habit and replace AZ with a less addictive pastime, like smoking crack.

I feel the same way!

It's good to have a source of information you can trust and you know this because the people here are really into cars, especially 3G TLs.

Mr. Moderator. Forgive him, please. He obviously didn't read or understand my 1st post. I put this here BECAUSE I have a 3g. It's the only place I go on this form. So as I said please forgive him.......

OK then, I will let this thread go to sleep now. I just bumped it so if anyone didn't see it. They might now see it, and respond if you wanted to. Maybe you missed it the first time around.

I always think if the thread has dropped to page 2. It's as good as dead.
What do you think?
