Geoff what fun is the internet without drama queens?

It can be a little frustrating when you go into a thread trying to learn something or check out some new product and you have to sift through 7 pages of useless bickering and garbage. I come in here to LEARN ABOUT F/I..I already know how to argue and call people names and slander. Learned that in grade school.

 

I agree this is a tech forum but I think its a good idea to have the vendor on to answer tech questions and also learn about new and upcoming products

 

Keep your posts to your own stuff and don't compare it to others and I don't see a problem. Problem is Full race and other manifold manufacturers have already got in heated disscusions and people remember that. Thats why they rebuttle. Don't critique other manufacturers things unless they ask for it. As a business you should toot your own trumpet and let your products speak for themselves. People can't attack you if they have no reason to. Just my 2 cents

well put

 

It's the internet and the american way so people are going to ATTACK no matter what you do?

 

agreed... However, the nature of a tech forum is to discuss / compare the technical merits of a product or technique (this does not equal bickering)

therefore, some comparison is necessary. Otherwise people would have to just buy into whatever hype a manufacturer saw fit.

I totally agree with this statement.

 

honda-tech has operated how long with vendors posting? i think we just need to work out problems, not remove vendors from the fi section!

it's all about attitudes, and some peoples need to change. i am not pointing any fingers, either.

 

but FF doesn’t go around banging other manifolds, if you ask him his recommendation your going to get the gods honest truth, isn’t that what you want. I mean sure he can tell you that a Meng manifold is hands down the best manifold in the world if you want to hear that, but we ask him cause he knows his Sh*t and no one likes getting pointed in the wrong direction. I mean I’ve asked him about the Hy-Tech ex. mani, he has nothing but good things to say about it, why? because its good and he doesn’t B.S. ...

And its good to know what the vendors are coming up with so we can make more educated purchases... ya know

 

i voted no, if you (a vendor) needs to defend your product when someone is bashing on it (which tends to happen here a LOT), you should be able to defend your product, business, and YOURSELF!

defending yourself, business, and products is great, I'd do it to....but the name calling just has to stop. I'm not pointing any fingers as I've heard name calling from all sides of the debates.

THe only thing that needs to be done is to try to retrain oneself from name calling and start acting civil

 

I think that people should tell their story with a product only when they experienced first hand. Whether it worked great or broke, whatever. People shouldn't bash on a product when they read it on some internet site. Today one person has something break and thousands all of a sudden hate that product and down talk it in internet forums. You never know what happened, maybe installer error. If there are many people on the forum that had the same problems then maybe there is some sort of problem with the product. Anyways I don't know if that made any sense.

 

I think it would be very unfair to any vendor who has not had the opportunity to make a name for them-self by posting "hey, i'm so and so, this is my stuff" to all of a sudden cut that opportunity off when plenty others have taken full advantage of it.

 

I think vendors should post but vendors should not bash others vendors. Everybody needs to stop the BS with you copied my product. Everybody has the right to make any product they want or the way they want to make it. If someone makes a similar product to someone elses product, it doesnt mean they copied your design. Just let everyone sell their product. If u have faith in your product then you should not worry about it. You will sell your product regardless. Let your product speak for itself instead of bashing on other product and saying your product is better than his/her. enough said

 

I say vendors should post anywhere BUT ethics, ethics, ethics..
