Hate in the forum

[jdmkenji]

Just wanted to ask why theres so much hate posts in this drift forum. So many topics about how FF drifting is ghey and civics are ghey and how much we oWneZ jooo!

So much talk about WE ARE OG and REAL doriftus! bla bla bla... makes the whole forum look bad. And guess what, i heard about how much hate this forum has from another forum also.

We obviously got some internet drifters here too, trying so hard to fit in and making everyone else look bad... what's looking bad is the entire forum.

Just an FYI if you guys dont realize it yet. laters...

what forum did you hear bad words on?

i agree that the condition of the forum right now is bullchit. too many internet drifters. as i said before, i don't consider myself a drifter because i don't participate in it yet. that doesn't mean i don't know anything about it, or don't like it. but i'm not going to pretend i do something that i don't.

i mean no offence to anyone on this forum, but you guys have to realize. you can be drift FANS all you want, but you can't really criticize people who are out there doing their thing when probably NONE of us in here actually drifts yet. while i dislike FF drifting, at least he's trying it. i have yet to try a real drift, and won't for another month or so. until i get my next 240SX, start learning to drift, and start to get good at it, then and only then will i consider myself a drifter.

whatever. i'm still all good with all of you guys, just...try to understand things a bit more. *shrugs*

Who's he? And what are these forums the stranger speaks of?

I don't really think that there's a "problem" - people have opinions. I know some people dislike things that are outside of their "sphere of conformity" and alot of dislike towards the FWD crowd comes from that aspect - but that doesn't bother me (I'm not one to be bothered much by ill-informed opinions - I own a Yugo as evidence) Although I think things have calmed down a bit now, and hope this forum becomes an informative place for all interested people regaurdless of whether they drive FF or RR (or in some cases, like myself - both)

PS: what's a collora?

[WhiteBlur]

I have to agree with jdmkenji on this one, a lot of people just bickering at eachother where in fact when I asked for this forum to be created I was thinking it was going to be for drifting in general, that includes FF drifting not just RWD drifting. You can have your own opinion on FF drifting but you don't have to carry it on farther then that, you don't have to flame it just make your statement clear and concise.

p.s I'm fairly sure collora is a disease...lol I'm sure he meant corolla

Hate is a strong word. I don't think the condition of this forum can be described as Hate but there are certainly some differences in opinion going around. If this forum was used to discuss D1 and Japanese style Drift as it was intended then I am sure there wouldn't be a problem. I think the biggest problem is that people get too far off topic. Most of the biggest posts on this forum have all turned bad because they haven't been about Japanese style Drift then the real Drifters get heated because there is discussions about FWD cars and rally teqniques etc etc. We all just need to realise that this forum is for Japanese Drift and thats what the focus should be on. Just my 2c.

ok... problem..... Internet drifter... i would consider myself one of them?
why? cause i don't do it out in the streets or the track....and yes i have sat in my frds 86 when he did it during his trial at AutoX. however... i am planning soon to do it on AutoX... so what is the problem? i may have not tried it in really life yet ....but i have been introduced to this sport for at least 3-4 yrs... i have brought numerous issues of Young version and Option because i wanna learn more...

anways... i really wanna see this fourm grow like the car modelling fourm here at AF... but first things first... lets stop the arguement with FF vs FR....its not goin anywhere

LETS ALL BE FRDS!!

[jdmkenji]

yeah, i never even realized that there was already a drifting forum in AF until i saw it from another site (which i wont mention for the fear of internet drifters flocking there also).

i agree, there can be drifting fans and there can be actual people who do it. but what sucks is that there are those who act like they know shit and they're O.G. and not jumping on the band wagon type of people who love to criticize what is proper drifting, and who can or cannot drift and what should be considered drifting.... while all along does not even participate in the sport themselves.

you will notice that even in japan or a community of true drifters there is no such type of attitude. people learn from each other and YES they do drift FWD cars in japan... have you heard of K cars? Even hondas use this technique in races... or maybe you guys need to actually see it in an option or drift tengoku video before you accept it? talk about not jumping on the band wagon.

Anyway, i hope that it does get better for the sake of the forum and that the newbies do not get the wrong impression about the sport...

Oh yeah, i drive a corolla, but i thought it was funny so i put collora... hahhaahah ...wierd

were does it say that this forum is only for jpanese style drift.....i say initial D forum is better suited for that....

it would be fair to make this about all type of drifting....true the japanese are best at show off drifting....but what is so wrong with drifing used for performance.....as in WRC(don't say that is not impresive).....


so even though japanese drifting for the sake of drifting might be the purest form....there are other styles that can be more easily performed and available to us.....

i mean how many people in this forum can afford to tune up their cars just for drifting....not to mention the cost for tires and constant realigment and balancing of the tires....

so i don't see why we cannot use this forum to talk about casual or rally or other forms of drifting beside japanese style...

Do some damn research before you post. It has been said so many times in other threads which you obviously haven't read.

THIS FORUM WAS MADE FOR D1 AND JAPANESE STYLE DRIFT DISCUSSIONS NOT WRC, NASCAR ETC ETC.

Guys back me up here, S13_Iketani I know you will

and who decided you.....? i want to hear this from a mod not you.....if Igor has decided that this forum is dedicated solely for japanese drifting then i'll shut up


and noob don't tell me to do "damn research" as you so politely put it.....i've read the other post and all i see is disagreement about what is drifting....


all I tried to post is that it will more more fair if this forum covers diferent types of drifting that can aply to us amateurs....not all of us are capable from the begining of profesional drifting....but by starting little by little we can get better....and in this forum we can give each other pointers on how to do it

S13_Iketani said:

alright. i'm not saying much more then this: i and many other people were under the impression (and rightfully so) that this forum was started for the sole purpose of talking about Japanese D1-Style drifting. i do not discount the skill of ice-racers, sprint car drivers, old skool F1 drivers, or anyone else who tosses out their back end. but that's not the drifting we want to talk about. the Japanese drifting is all about style and skill. how well you can hold the drift, how long, how many you can link up without fucking up etc. that's what the sport is. they're not trying to get fast lap times or anything else. we're not talking about powersliding sprint cars that are trying to get a fast lap-time on a dirt track oval. we want to talk about drifting: the sport. not drifting: the word.

Good enough for you?

There is plenty more where that came from. Just read through the different threads.

as you can read he said that he is under the impresion(impling uncertainty)....and btw he is not yet the mod of this forum even though I recomended to the other mods that he would be instated as....

so let me put it this way...how can we become better at drifting when we cannot disscuss diferent parts and techniques involved in drifting that we need to acomplish in order to perfom as well as a japanese drifter....


if all we talk is advanced techniques.....how is that gonna help us when we cannot reach those levels......maybe you are some legend at drifting and don't need to discuss simple stuff but there are many of us here that would like to learn

[BOOSTD]

I am not some legend at Drifting and not once have I implied this. I was simply stating that the forum was intended for Japanese style Drift (which it was). I am done with this topic now as it as well as many others is getting boring. As for discussing basic techniques I encourage this as everyone needs to ask basic questions to learn and not once did I say anything against asking questions. All I was stating was that this is supposed to be a Japanese style Drift forum and there is very little Drift discussion going on. BTW asking questions about rally techniques and the like is not really going to help you with Japanese style Drifting. Rally is done on different surfaces with a totally different type of car. Sure some of the techniques are slightly similar but they are two totally different motorsports. If you want to become a better Drifter ask questions relating to Japanese style Drift, I for one will be happy to help.

and you know why there is so little drift discussions going one because everytime someone posts something that is not up to some mythical standards of perfect drifing....he becomes automatically a loser....so again give some people a brake...maybe they are trying to drift....


and again I would like to know if Igor decid that this forums is absolutelly only for japanese drifting....you failed to answer that question.....which btw is the only one that really matters...

[BLU CIVIC]

well....u make a very good point....

like i have mentioned b4...this isn't a D1 forum b/c itz not post as one so

but there are no problems in this forum...people are just getting the feel for it b/c there wasn't a "drifting" forum so everyone was talking about it in different forums
