My join date here makes me sad, marks the date I gave up on NICO, join date there was 2006 as 'Fenris' with far more mosting and less lurking...

Man I haven’t turned anyone from green squares to all red in a really long time.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

I keep wondering when the newer s-chassis fans will realize Facebook is about the worst place to use as a repository for information... I'm convinced most of them don't even know what a forum is or that all of this stuff exists and has already been done/troubleshot before by many people.

Yes i agree with you, people see this and its ancient to them or they dont know how to navigate & they give up. But I never had an fb and i just made one finally & i bought so many parts for so cheap! That’s one thing i use it for, the marketplace.

they just look for big communities and assume that - thats where the expertise is.

but to be fair, there are a handful of drift teams on Facebook that just do their thing.

goldstar, animal style and a handful of others are in my liked pages.

TheRealSy90 · 06-20-2018, 02:59 PM

While that's true, are those really the go to authorities on S-Chassis? They drive good, sure. Are they gonna help someone diagnose, troubleshoot, or theorize over their car issues, or offer criticism/advice for someone's build? Doubtful.
And then even IF that does happen, the information is gone shortly thereafter as it gets pushed down the feed of whatever page it's on. IMO forums are not dead, people are just misdirectioned.

Malik · 06-20-2018, 10:32 PM

actually im with you on that. the helpfulness factor is special about forums.

most drift teams use their pages to sell parts, announce events, and post their pics.

afishysilvia · 06-20-2018, 10:36 PM

The moderators on here have all long forgotten about this place in some sense. I try to help out when I can, but at times everyone is just an expert or too lazy to look so thats where all the famous "Zilvian bashing" comes in.

I'm going to completely disagree with you on this. They are around, in fact on the home page you can regularly see more than one of the moderators active.
Phlip is currently in the hospital or something. Jonathan is on here nearly every single day along with Lennon. Less seen would be RJF, ThatGuy, Lisa, and S14DB who have still been recently active this year. That just leaves West and DriftNDragg who haven't been on in a year or so. Aside from Mephistophiles who I believe has signed off on us for some reason unfortunately.

So we have 7 out of 9 admins who are regularly on here in some way shape or form. Not too bad for a forum that's been around for almost two decades.

EDIT: Actually I forgot Boostaholic, I think that's the only admin you could say "forgot" about the forum lol.

Okay, so where is the list of mods who do what exactly so that I may express some concerns to? All the mod influence I ever get is slack for doing shit wrong.

There is no "list" aside from the regular members list. I just listed out the moderators that I could remember, and actually probably forgot one or two.

afishysilvia · 06-21-2018, 02:20 PM

All I am referring to is to find out a list of what mod does what. I know some, but not all. I figured this would be good for the forum too, rather than just clicking on the names at the bottom. I dont even look down there to be honest.

tacobellman_2007 · 03-31-2019, 01:44 AM

I'm such a nerd for Zilvia history for some reason. Makes me wish I was born 10 years earlier.

I think OP pretty much reached his real goal of having OGs check in, as cheesy as the original post is. Good job OP.

Yuri, sup with that Part 2?

2_Liter_Turbo · 05-24-2019, 12:52 PM

Lots of interesting history in this thread. I started out on NICO in 2004 and joined Zilvia in 2005, but I have never been crazy active. Partially due to my location being pretty far from the rest of the community (northern CA / southern OR region). I do miss the days of good forum activity though, and would kill to have that sort of community again. I absolutely hate facebook and the instant gratification generation...

SoCalS14 · 06-26-2019, 06:23 PM

I came over from Nico as well. Lurked quite a bit, but eventually picked up some great parts and learned a tom from the tech threads. My SR swap happened in '04 and it was a glorious time. I remeber bringing that car out to Fontana for JGTC and showing the car. Good times.

97street_pearl · 08-06-2019, 12:19 PM

This thread brought back some great memories for me, lots of good meets and caravans including Takumi Project, Autobachs (Stanton),Jtuned Meets, ZOMG BBQ's at Grifith Park, Hellaflush (Venice Beach) D1GP events at Irwindale and weekly meets at In N Out in Long Beach Town Center.

TheRealSy90 · 05-18-2021, 04:56 PM

Nowadays folks are trying to find out where to procure the server from before it goes down permanently.

i'm just enjoying the increasingly few and far between moments when the site actually works, before it goes down again. its like hanging out with your grandparents, not knowing if this is the last time you'll ever see em.

Well said. Too me this is a huge time warp thats preserved online. Also i am looking for what little parts are up for sale. Glad to know some OG OG's are still lurking.

TheRealSy90 · 05-28-2021, 10:22 AM

I'm debating if it's even worth my time to make a build thread anymore if the site just ends up down shortly after..

Sadly, its like watching the cracks in a foundation slowly become worse, as the walls start to fall inward.
