changed to a new PC recently and restored my browser bookmarks was going through the bookmarks for organise and deletion realise many car forums already shut down for good most car forums have migrated to Facebook as car interest groups or they simply die off as the car models went end of line is MCF the only local car forum left today? feel kind of nostalgic, back then when car forums were popular, with lots of gatherings organized and new car gadgets for chng and modify one of the some car meetups i went to (in 2005... gosh 15 years ago.......😞

If this is not allowed, Mod or admin just delete or close this thread. I am just curious, how many online discussion forums are there left in sg? I know there are Hardware zone (which could be the most happening in sg), is clubsnap still alive? flowerpot? blowingwind forum (for the LBGT) i know sgforum is dead? How many active and alive ones are left? Are online discussion forum dying thingy?

As above. How long do you spend your time surfing MyCarForum everyday? Are you very obsessed with MCF and its contents? What have benefited you since you joined MCF? As in, 1. knowing more about cars and its technologies and trends, knowing more about your car, car maintainace, etc 2. know more about where to find good food and movies, etc 3. finding like minded people and make new friends 4. Know more about life and improving oneself etc...

Just out of curiosity, do you guys actually click on the banner ads that appear while reading posts from MCF-ers. I am ad blind so I dont really take notice of them unless its really captivating. Do you guys click on them?

Seeing the recent spat among members here reminds me of some life lessons about internet forum I'd like to share with you guys. Pardon my long winded story but I hope you find it useful too: Year: 2001 Forum: Some USA based forum for comics and artists. members are usually art students posting their artworks and we critique and comment to help them improve. My role: I'm a senior member, pretty much well liked as my comments are usually fair and helpful. Made some friends from the forum and even met local members from SG and still in contact with some of them till this day. To put it simple, I had a reputation. Incident: A new member by the name of "baby4eva" (I will not forget that nick) posted an artwork that he/she drew and ask for comments. It was a simple anime-style girl. I looked and thought it looked familiar. After much research, I realised the artwork is a direct copy from a Hentai Artwork from a Japanese porn site. "Baby4eva" merely copied the character line by line and then added the clothes (The character was naked from the original pic). plagiarism is a serious thing and the forum rules states that any members found plagiarising other materials as their own will be banned from the site. I was furious cos (1)It's not a genuine artwork as it's a direct tracing and (2)It's copied from porn. Arming with evidence and the overzealous intention to uphold justice. I blasted "baby4eva" on the thread. I accused "baby4eva" for plagirism and demand her to own up and remove her artwork within 24hrs or else I will prove to everyone of my findings to expose her. But "baby4eva" did not reply, he/she simply disappeared off the radar and never replied. I was thinking I have won. I was successfully kicked out a fake member and saved the beloved forum from fake wannabes Other members became curious. Some sided me, some gave "baby4eva" benefit of doubt and some blasted me for being rude to noobs and not showing prove. So since this small group of people wanted evidence, I showed them. I posted the original picture and then overlay them to show that "baby4eva" simply traced the picture via photoshop. I posted the link of the original artwork, which points to the porn site. I did all this to shut up the naysayers. I did wrong. The next day, I logged in an got a rude shock. My post showing the evidence was removed from the post and I was given a warning by the mod and admin. First, I broke the rule of posting porn materials and linking to a porn site. Secondly I intigated a quarrel in the forum. The admin PMed me that While they appreciate members to be forthcoming and proactive in the forum, they will not tolerate instigation and vigilantism in the forums even if the other party is the offender. I roughly remember what the admin using the phrase "The last thing I want to to have members banging on the barn with torches and pitchforks. Any offence should be reported to the admin or mods." Due to my reputation, the admin gave me a chance and still allow me in the forum. But I was deeply affected by the incident. I was angry, I felt I was wronged and unfairly treated. I was just trying to make the forum a better place and got shot down by the people I supported. I remembered it was CNY that time but I did not enjoy the holiday and I did not sleep well thinking about the incident. After a week later the thread died down and I almost forgot about it. Then "Baby4eva" replied. The thread immediately became boiling hot and he/she started a drama. Acting as a girl, "Baby4eva" insist it was her own creation and any likeness was coincidental. She threw alot of dramatic flowery words and accuse me of not Showing proof(cos was deleted by the mods) and spoiling her day. When others asked her of her disappearance, she cooked up stories that she just got married and had when on a honeymoon and she was expecting good replies and accuses me of spoiling the mood. To garner support she posted pictures of her "honeymoon" to show she was a genuine member and that got her alot of supporters. There I was, witnessing a full-fledge Ang Moh drama of how they and twist and turn their mistakes and flip prata. I felt like I'm watching a bad soap opera. (This experience also armed me on the knowledge of how to deal with AMDK during the cos of my work) I did not post a reply. I don't see the point and was trying to forget this incident. But I got PMed from her supporters asking me to apologize and some, just to fark me for causing all this. Member's memories are short and when you can't even post your evidence of her offence, it's a lost cause. So in order to close the case and let the thread die, I just replied to "apologize" for "causing hurt". It felt sick. 13 years ago, "baby4eva" has kicked "pocus" ass and won the internet forum drama. That few days I couldn't sleep well, I couldn't eat well, I was grumpy. It affect my real life. A few close members and those who knew her offence PMed to console me. A few asked me not to leave the forum(they assumed I would leave). With the expection of one mod which is close to me, None of the other mods nor the admin PMed me. Aftermath: "Baby4eva"'s tricks did not last long though. After that she posted a number of her "own works", all copied from various hentai/porn anime sites. I was not involved as I did not reply to any of her thread since. Some member accused her and she whipped up the same drama mama tactics again to win sympathy. Only this time the members and mod knew her tricks and banned her, her nonsense lasted for 4 months. It was bittersweet. Conclusion: I've since left the forum an moved on. But this incident became a life lesson for me till today after 13 years. I learned that: 1) Forum are not just forums, who are we kidding. If forums were just forums we wouldn't come here everyday. But because forums are not just forums, we should treat it with respect. Just like working in office, basic ethical rules and behavour applies. 2) Treat each members like how you would treat them in real life. Do not do to other how you do not want others to do to you 3) If someone broke the rules or post offensive material, the first rules is to give benefit of doubt. You may be right but you may be wrong. 4) Report if you must, but never openly challenge someone and expect no reaction. 5) We don't own the forum, don't expect mods to be around when shet happen and don't expect them to cover you or sayang you if you got hit by shet. 6) Sometimes if you are repling to an offensive person, it's good to type in a notepad, then save and close and then paste 10 mins later. If you do that you can avoid unnessesary confrontation. 7) Benefit of Doubt 8) You can spend 4 years building a reputation as a good member and a moment of weakness to bring down the reputation and get yourself ban. If (1) is true, apply (2 to 6) 9) You may be a veteran member with 20k post count but without meeting anyone and benefiting from it, you are just a statistic to the forum. 10) If forum has too much shet post, close it and come back another day. 11) All else fails, maybe it's time to quit, go out there and smell real fresh air and experience real things instead of virtual things.

This forum really not mobile friendly, my iPhone 4S cannot navigate properly when the top link to the sub forums gets cluttered with links from last post. Also when I get a message, it auto open and the close button is outside the screen area. Even rotating to landscape cannot solve it.
