Not to mention, the first thing you see when you come to our little corner of the Samba is a Sticky section that takes up an entire screen. Most forums have three to maybe five stickies. We have a whole screen! We gots the meats!

Yea but like half the good links in the FAQ sticky no longer work. It would be awesome if we could update it.

If a guy only spent an hour digging on the internet he'd find what he's looking for.

That dude rage quit for sure.
Oh well, his loss our gain.

I agree and have been thinking it's about time the stickies get condensed.

Maybe that's who we need to be yelling at? Where's that admin??? This is all his fault. hehe

My bossman has been hiring youngsters lately. Like younger than my kids (I'm a boomer). Guess they aren't kids any more since they are giving me grandkids.
Kid says, get out of the way old man, I got this.
I say, no you don't .
But at least they show up on time every day.

Yeah... so helpful posts. How many are there? You cutie pies... it's not hard to do a search and see how many times you made useless posts. Nope cupcake. It's not Samantha. This one is yellow. Like I said. Man.... I should have titled this post sometime like......??????

What. Useless information that all you forum lurkers do to pollute the internet:

I wanted an answer and this post turned into a debate of stupidity.

Should I start a new post with the same question, and or should I make a clause about stupid irrelevant answers?

I'll be at the Emmett show and shine if anyone wants to get past their keyboard and get a slap.

Again. Cupcakes, and respectful experts. I came here for advice. I asked a question. And derilects asked the same derelict question on every forum.

I would love for a confident individual to post his/her advice to the original question.

And remember clowns.... this is a searchable thread for years to come

Do you clowns understand that the next guy who searches steering advice is going to see this bs post. And it turned into an argument in how to post and search. Do you clowns think you contributed to anything???

You made this forum a less valuable place. Good job. If I care enough. I'll search your user name and show how many times you've been useless

To the earlier posts.... this is what I found.... a bunch of bs that didn't give any answers to the question. Have I made my point???? If I haven't. We've made a really good thread that some one looking for answers will find. We got 2 pages now. Idiots.

wow you really got your feelings hurt. in all the time ive been on here and all the ppl who've been pissed off at me, ive never seen anyone make so many whiney posts one right after the other, no one.
I think you set a record.
good job little buddy!

you notice how everyone who posted said the same things to you? and yet they are all in the wrong, yeh ok.
I bet your the type that goes to someone to ask advice then tells them they are wrong.
or when you get someone to come over and fix the shit you can't , you tell them that according to the YouTube video you just watch this is how its done..


and this is coming from me, who's contradictory as fuck and will play devils advocate just for the sake of debating a subject. ( which a lot of people really don't like that apparently).

and if you think this thread is something for people to be concerned about being here for as long as the internet is alive, you haven't seen some of the other shit we've posted nor have you read any old threads from about 10 years ago. those guys would've made you cower in the corner like you were the new guy in prison about to become someone's wife.

@ 516swg
Did you not read the damn novel I wrote for you? I literally laid it out on a silver platter with links!
I bet you skimmed right over it like all the other posts. If you pulled your head out of your hairy stink hole you would have noticed.
Buy yourself the Buggy book and read it like the rest of us have.
Good luck trying to ever get any information out of us ever again after that.
You sound super fun to be around. The world is surely screwed if you already reproduced.

This is the most informative VW forum on this planet. If you can’t find the information you’re seeking. You should quit now. People have been doing the same mods for literally decades. Books have been written and published on this very subject.

BFB is one of the most knowledgeable people on here. If you took the time to see the pictures of what the guy has done with the VW platform you wouldn’t be bashing him like you are.

You are one sour grape.

Ok. Now I'm pissed! He made Schepp talk about hairy stink holes!! That is just too much for me to handle, Where'd this guy say he was going to be? Somewhere in Idaho? Ok. I'm gonna catch a plane and go let this guy slap me for pushing Schepp to say hairy stink hole! Galdamnit! Entitled little shit! hehe

Oh btw, OP, this forum has been around for decades. I don't think your generic title is going to stand out amongst the tens of thousands of posts that probably had at least an ounce of effort put into them. Belittling people based solely on the fact that you didn't get what you demanded only makes you look bad. You're not convincing anyone. We got enough bad attitudes around here, like BFB, and we only put up with his ass because sometimes he has a good point and he actually cares about the forum.

You may leave now. Come back when you learn not to throw sand in the sand box.

Aw, I think it's cute that he thinks all link pin beams and chassis are the same and one size fits all.

Yeah, and sometimes I'm a postcount whore. Somebody needs to keep it flowin sometimes. I have no problem commenting on something I know nothing about when I think someone needs a boost. I think things have improved in the last year, it was getting really quiet in here there for awhile.

well, there for a while several of us were busting Oprn's balls about his post whoring but in all honesty, after he slowed down / stopped the whole damn place slowed down, I prefer it when he does whore post. even if it is something just being parroted, that it turns out, is better because he kept thing moving. I told him we need him, he's like a good laxative that keeps the forums from getting all blocked up. hehe
so I say go for it , you post whore your heart out
