cii, the new cii sucks Options

[akamiami]

Would anyone agree with me if I said the new CII sucked pooper?

I went there for car drama because I was amused by the kids who cared about their post count, and would make tangential remarks that were only mildly car related. It was a diverse crowd of jackasses, jerks, trolls, and inflated egos.

Now I fear it's going to be dominated by the few arrogant pricks who would rather turn it into a purely technical site. As if that site is ever going to contain 1% of the _factual_ technical information of that other car that we shall not name-tech, evolutionm.net, nasioc, etc.... Not that those sites are 100% tech oriented boards, but they are more relevant to the specific enthusiast not a regional grouping of car fans.

worst decision ever. all they did was anger people with their nazi additude. not to mention the site never works right anyways. I see it goin down the tube.

[JMoushon]

I use it primarily to vent frustrations. No good info on the site, except for that posted by members of this board. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, useless. When it works. Please no flaming, Rantis. I consider your info good.

Definatly not a change for the better.... oh well, not a huge loss I guess.

[Kazz5]

Um, it's working again?

Just to play Devil's Advocate on the tech aspect of Cii:

Although most of us go to our car specific boards for real technical info, there are newer or less informed people who tend to have some car questions that get answered on Cii. Think of Cii as high school and DSMcentral as college.

I think it's a fine line between the general car related talk and loose tangents and the outright drama. From what I saw in the couple of hours that it was back online yesterday (before the revamp), I'd say it was headed more in the wrong direction then than since I'd joined.

Just my $0.02 though, maybe I'm one of the inflated ego's or overly strict types.

Granted, I've only had a chance to spend all of 5 minutes on the new Cii so I'm not terribly informed yet.

I think it was good for it's entertainment value. Nothing like being involved in a soap opera when you're bored at work.

I've hardly visited the site since it was revamped. Just haven't had the time lately.

[Mike]

but you have to give it to Cii though, They have a very successful site that is very populare. Of course lately they have had some troubles in the staying up department, maybe they can give there server some of my extra Viagra J/K, but they do have dedicated users.

Cii will never be a source for good info. To many dumbasses and different opinions. Everything leads to fighting because there is no serious moderation. Its a place to shoot the poopy and talk it. I've given up on posting tech info and just f@ck with the ricers like Windell and awd4me. And I give image a hard time.

[haunter]

not exactly arguing at this point, huge new expensive server and new 'better' host and its been down way more since the revamp
