instant messaging

[civicsi2]

what do i have to do to get instant messaging. I've searched and looked in faq's and looked in forums. I can't find anything. Is it even used? my user cp says i dont' have permission.

Pay me.

But in all seriousness, PMs are turned off on this board.

[civicsi2]

ok that kinda sucks. Why? to save on server space?

There are two problems with Private Messaging (PM):

1) The discussions that would take place via PM are ones that need to stay on this board so that the valuable information is public for all users and internet-goers to see. (Ex: If everyone just PM'd someone about an SR swap in their 240, then NICO's 240 general wouldn't be necessary, and you wouldn't know where to go for that information)

2) PM's take up a lot of bandwidth and we already use plenty. I guarantee that we won't even consider PMs until we find a way to do it without it eating up a lot of bandwidth.

ok fair enough, would be cool if you had that in your forum faq section for us newbies.

[90Q45blue]

noted.

[nsrZ32]

Yeah I kinda wondered about that too until I found out about it through another member. Its all good though. Makes sense.

[AZhitman]

Good question though, and I will make sure Nick's explanation makes it into the FAQ's.

p.s. Glad to have you aboard, civicsi2. I'm a former Si owner myself.

Welcome to NICO, civicsi2!

[darkeagle]

Most of us on here, to communicate with others off the boards have AIM, MSN messanger, or Yahoo. If no luck on that e-mail is also another option.

DOH! wrong forum man, this place is for NISSANS BABY!

No offence but Honda ppl have to stop pretending those are race cars

well except for the NSX

[NSR_s30]

Why IM on here when you can IM members via: MSN,AIM,YAHOO,ICQ....etc you know. Plus 90Q45blue has 2 good points.

Agreed but there are some fast hondas. Honestly i know my si isn't fast but i think it looks good, thats why I'll hopefully have a nissan soon to take car of the fast part, but they are harder and more expensive to get to look nice.

Thanks for the nice welcome guys.

Hater. Last time I checked, our 240's weren't to quick from the factory either.

[gabossie]

Oh yeah, welcome civicsi2, enjoy your stay

nothing very quick about a stock KA. im a former honda guy myself (g2 integra)and yet i love both hondas and nissans, both are awesome cars. so lets stop this stupid rivalry.

[JESTER]

Welcome to NICO. AZ's little home on the range.

And I dont hate Honda's, just a lot of thier drivers. Respect the car, not the dip that put the big metal wing on the trunk. Plus guys, there are quiet a few idiots driving Nissan's.

[Altiman94]

I'd drive a 99-00 si any day. I think they look sweet and have plenty of potential. There is a 99 electron blue with a turbo kit here in town.

I'm a former Si owner myself.

So is there a 12 step program for that or did you just figure out that life wasn't the only thing passin you by? SHIFT_NISSANS were the other...

oh hmm i don't know about that bro... my friend's civic spanks my other friend's sr20 =\ and he has a t28 on his sr... so.. i can't really say, i mean yea i personally don't like honda... but jesus christ his car is ridiculously fast i mean cmon... if you can beat an m3 about a car length on a civic... i think you're pretty damn good don't you think? thats with no nos... and he pushes what.... i think 230whp... and his car isn't crazy body style neither... its just clean jdm add ons like the lip/skirt and rear bumper thingy... but seriously... some honda people are crazy... shiet my friend is crazy i wouldn't have fixed up a civic to go that fast... its a friggin civic

[w1ngzer0]

civic yes but remeber the integra and civics are race cars in japan. type r comes to mind

[azncorruptedo17]

what about SI-R ;D don't ask me im not a honda guy... i just like their gas saving cars ;D

[nismofly]

i just think its unfortunate that so many hondas have been ruined by ricers

now honda is promoting rice, and the general public thinks everyone that drives a japanese car is a ricer, gah

actually its been going on for a while but im fuming because one of these bad *** north dakota rednecks off campus called me a ricer. here its like campus-->city-->hicks-->nothing for 100 miles in any direction

lol anyway welcome to the club, unriced hondas rock, i just dont get fwd though. i guess if its fast its alright, but i love my rwd. and good luck finding a nissan.
