CF is a little nuts. Great knowledge base and experience but it's deteriorated into a monkey fight in the C7 section. So I hope this forum will continue growth especially in a couple of months when actual production cars get delivered to real owners.

Because their Corvettes are old news now. That's reason enough for a lot of people to hate whatever new generation debuts.

no round tail lights, it doesn't have AWD, there's no DCT, my prune juice has a bug in it .........you'll see it all. Fortunately, the C7 fans are winning out over the haters I think. Bottom line is Chevy has put together an awesome car. So if the old farts who are mad because they bought a GS for $13,000 off MSRP want to hate on something new? Well, so be it. Just not here please

I have been a member of CF since 2001. When it first began it was a tremendously informational site (it still is) and a very helpful one to "anyone" who had a question. It was an exceptional site for those who had not owned a vette before, or who weren't "gear-heads" but still loved the Corvette.
Over the many years I've watched a transformation of the site. In my opinion (and only mine), in the past 3-4 years it has eroded from an outstanding Corvette site and a very friendly, open, respectful site; to one where people are chastised, verbally attacked and ridiculed for maybe not being as "knowledgeable" as some members feel they should be. I still visit the site because of the knowledge and what appears to be (at times), some very good insider info. Unfortunately, like others have mentioned here, the site has become caustic at times, and condescending to visitors (and even members). Don't get me wrong, it still is a very good site and there are still some great people on the CF site....that's why I continue to visit, but finding this site has been a breath of fresh air. My hope is this site continues to grow and remains as friendly, informational and fun as I've experienced. We all started as car-aholic "newbies" at some point in our life....everyone starts somewhere. The only way a person can learn is through their own research, trial & error and by learning from those who have already "been there---done that". It isn't a "dumb" question if the person asking it, really doesn't know. P.S. I'm one of those "old farts"....and I love the new C7! And there will be one in my garage this time next year! Of course, there isn't a corvette I've ever met that I didn't like.. |

The C5 section (where I started with them) doesn't have a lot of fighting. In fact, it's mostly just people there to help each other or show off their rides and accomplishments. That's what made CF my home on the internet for 4 years. When the C7 section started, I slowly started seeing what you're seeing. It's a lot of fighting and bickering over dumb things. And a lot of it is stirred up by trolls. I put trolls on ignore, but some of these guys are too proud to do it and keep feeding them. The C7 section isn't really organized yet. I'm a little surprised by that, actually. I would expect that they would have setup the other sections by now. All the other generations have more than just the general chat section. But then again, I'm pretty sure "Internet Brands" doesn't really care about the forums and organization as much as collecting those vendor and sponsor checks. |

LOL! At least you found your way here. I found this forum just the other day reading a blog. Wish I'd known sooner.
