Wrong giberrish gibberish gibberish bibberish.
Yeah really good point you made there.

The larger the forum the less need there is to post a new thread. Take the Ubuntu forum I'm a member of. Been there 6 months it has helped me immensely yet my post count is still 0. Why? Because search is my friend.

Custard ofcourse your not allowed an opinion. Why? Because it doesn't agree with Stripes attitude that more of the same old tired stuff over and over again is good.

So you want every new user of the Fiat Forum to be like this. It will bring it to a halt. Well done.

Do not see your logic here.

well look at the cento section now
if we get a turbo thread they can be sent off to the faq's and numeros threads( know im using the turbo example again but its really the remap of the cento section)
then they can come back and ask new questions,clarify points etc and we have had/have some corking threads moving on from the old turbo threads/methods with new ideas/methods

Stop avoiding the question! Why did you change the title into something which gives the appearance that I am against using the search feature.

Answer this simple question, was T's original post beneficial? Yes, his original post: these are ones I am taking issue with nothing else. Stop trying to cover up what I am saying by making it seem like I am apposed to something I am not.

are you a complete div? the title isnt changed its a total new thread, with a title that matches the contents:bang:

go and read your post, your issue you said was with people saying use search not with T's original post ffs if you are going to argue at least remember what you was arguing about

I disagree with you stripes.

Also id much prefer to refresh and see nothing new than refresh and see a load of threads that have already been made before covering the same subject.

First point: If I had to bet my girlfriend on a user who would disagree it would have been you, sorry. I had written it in another post but I had to re-write it when it made me type in my login info again and I lost everything. I then decided it was unfair to mention your name and omitted it. You might not believe this, I don't care: it's true.

Second point: Nothing new? **** sake you may as well buy a Haynes Manual and sit and wait for it to 'refresh' because if you want to omit repetition in this section you have more of a chance of seeing something new in the book!

at the end of the day telling a n00b about the search funcion and giving a link to it may help them find the answer quick, when a real life person is not on the forum to do so [/quote

yes of course tell them the serach section is there to aid them, but dont shoot them down basically saying how dare you post something that may have already been posted before!! Dont you dare. ONLY use the search button.

That will scare them off

Doesnt bother me if you had put my name up. At the end of the day you are the one trying to cause the problem. The other hundreds of people that use this forum have no problem with the way it works. If you think you can do a better job set up your own GP forum then you can challenge how its run

How can i buy a haynes when they dont do one for the GP yet? And just because people get told to search it doesnt mean its gonna kill a forum ffs If that was the case this would have died years ago wouldnt it going by your argument wouldnt it? There will always be people that want to ask new questions. Just because you dont have any ideas of your own to create new threads on stuff that hasnt been covered yet it doesnt mean other people dont

Damn right. That's why I bet he would have been the one to appose my viewpoint. He would disagree with both sides of an argument if he could!!!

And the Haynes Manual wasn't to be taken literally. Do you know what an analogy is? :bang:

Re: would a remap be worth it on a 1.4 8v . "NEWBIE" pls help!!

No i wouldnt disagree with both sides of the argument you spanner. Im disagreeing with the side i disagree with funnily enough! Now youve tried to make a point, epicly failed so i would suggest you sneak back out to your oh so good forum where you dont tell people to search and not bother coming back if you dont like it here. Just because im the one who isnt bumming up to you like beany is doesnt mean you have to start weak attacks on me

Hardly Bumming up to me is he! Which part did I fail? I was simply making the point that you have a cynical attitude on this forum as seen, to take an example, in Jamie's thread.

But back to the issue I had originally, please. I'm not getting into a petty squabble with you.

Re: would a remap be worth it on a 1.4 8v . "NEWBIE" pls help!!

If someone asks something that I know has been asked several times before I'll either find the thread myself or if I'm busy I'll tell them to use the search. Because I'm saying use the search means I know the info is out there - it just needs finding.

If after trying the search they still can't find the info I'll do the search for them.

What's wrong with that? How is that killing the forum?

would you watch a TV programme that plays the same programme over and over again?

no

therefor you dont want a forum that has the same thing written over and over again.

plus you're worried about turning new people away but you will turn old members away by making 100's of reposts.

ooo and

Re: would a remap be worth it on a 1.4 8v . "NEWBIE" pls help!!

Well you claimed everyone agreed with you which obviously isnt the case, all you can do is refer back to your forum when the majority of forums im on the same stuff is said as on here with regards to searching. Why refer to me as this forum? I dont and never have made the rules im just following them with regards to searching.

firstly im debating not arguing

but its never exactly the same post is it? and certainly never exactly the same answer, and new users can contribute to new posts and the conversations are always different with different point of views.

I wouldnt watch the same programme over and over but i do watch the simpsons everyday and its not exactly the same but similar!

Nothing in some circumstances.

The original topic was 'is remapping a 1.4 worth it?'

The answer to this is an opinion, and opinions vary and change. Yet the original poster was told on two separate occasions to search. Wouldn't it have been more beneficial for those to present their views.

Some gave good reasons in the original thread and then you could wait for those people to counter those arguments, it's more interesting that way surely and gives the OP an idea of the recent relevant pros and cons. Obviously it would be inevitable that Matt would come along and say something along the lines of 'omg its a 1.4 8v buy a t-jet' again and again but that would be a small price to pay for a new thread which would contain some new and interesting ideas.

A student forum is going to have a higher turnover of members than here. Nature of the beast. Unless you've lots of 30+ blokes PM'ing all the freshers?
