Many people on here frequent the Piston heads forums?

Thoughts?

Agreed with above, and there are some real obnoxious twats on there, I am happy reading and not posting.

You should look through the PureGT forum then.  Home of the mega rich.

When posting... Make sure your post is airtight or prepare yourself for 15 pages of abuse.

I only look at the non-car threads actually... Cooking, electrics, DIY etc.

The place is full of trolls. Good to go on there to have a read and a giggle at times, but usually most topics end up with loads of meaningless drivel banter

Only been on 2/3 times in the last 6 years. Got hooked on a couple of threads and couldnt get away :signLOL:
 One was an integra driver who wiped out a motorcycle and went to prison (came across as a genuine honest guy if a little too fast)
  IIRC the police used evidence gained from his forum posts to build a character profile to use in court :surprised: :surprised:
 Other was the presenter from 5th gear who responded to a post (genuine??)

  Classified prices seem to be a bit on the high side

This. It can be funny watching Diesel vs Petrol threads or similar descend very quickly.

But there is a lot of flaming/trolling.

The Jason Plato/ Birds Custard thread was the funniest thing I've ever read and went on for 50 or so pages from recollection... I might look it up and read it again now you've reminded me of it

I've been a member on there for more than ten years, still visit regularly but I spend a lot less time in the forums than I used to..  and post very infrequently now.
