I just was reading FreshAlloy for the first time in a while, and man, they really don't like us. They throw out "NICO is like preschool for retarded children" and other crap like that at lots of people... What did we do to them?

but i really respect the fact that we have no threads just flat-out saying that they suck, its cool to take the higher road. so feel free to can this once it gets answered.

I like FA. They have a bunch of smart members over there.

The smart to dumb member ratio on fa is a lot higher than on NICO, IMO. But I like NICO more, because it's homelier, and it has a better layout.

Zilvia, on the other hand, is a bunch of rotten "driftarzzzzz". Many of their members have poor attitude toward noobs, and to other members.

That's just my breakdown of some of the other 240sx forums.

NICO has some amazing techs and engineers supporting its members. I'm endlessly stunned by posts from guys like Q45Tech and others. The wealth of useful information is incredible.

I agree, I look at FA and Zilvia and for one, NICO seems faster than all of them. And two, the people here seem more active and are a lot nicer.

We may have more less knowledgable people, but we also have less wannabe hardcore, e-thuggin', jdm-tyte, elitist, spoiled suburbanites that have nothing better to do other than bash a forum that's far more helpful than theirs. And I hate waiting a solid 30 seconds every couple minutes for no apparent reason on Zilvia. WTF is with that sh1t?

Of all the sites I stuck with NICO. Sure I don't own a 240 anymore, but I still <3 NICO. Plus we get to have these GINORMOUS sigs!

I said it before, i'll say it again -

I'm ALL about bringing car enthusiasts together. I wish they'd all just pop in here for ONE DAY and see what we're all about.

I'd put our technical knowledge up against that of ANY forums. It's just that ours is a little "deeper" in the format or structure of the site.

I'm glad we don't openly bash other forums - Let's keep it that way. Jealousy is ugly and unproductive.

Fa is kinda boring, plus they banned me for "bashing newbies"

This kid asked "what is the best bolt in engine for the 190SX?" (not a typo)

I said "I don't know what your on, but I like it" and they banned me. Oh well

I think that the guys on FA are a lot more educated when it comes to in depth technical knowledge of cars and motors. I like NICO better because there are a variety of threads, and some good car information too.

swear...and Nistech too, that man is quick with answers.

we seldom attack the noobs too, sure, they ask dumb questions and we tell them to search, but it's usually nothing more then playful fun, kinda like foreplay...

<_<

Well.. not homely in the sense of unattractive. Homely in the sense of like a home. Poor choice of wording on my part, but I don't think too many people caught it ;)

NICO > all overall.

But FA seems to have a lot more useful technical threads than NICO.

And I like zilvia's bst forums more than NICO's. It's a bit more organized.. but that's about it.

I think most people post on both, that's why the same threads are on every message board. 6degrees of separation, as it were.

We're preparing to revamp the Classifieds (yet again).

As soon as the regionalization project is done.

Damn, no rest for the weary! :)
