this has also been discussed and same again once the user has been informed they tend to stop it. If you come across this problem just report it to a mod

Roger,
It makes me laugh how some non english speaking members actually make more sense sometimes!

i agree with this, i mean im still pretty nooby when it comes to cars but i've had atleast 10 questions which were solved by search function on this forum easily without any hassle, and sure i may have posted one or two threads with easy questions but they wernt on here before so people just need to search more haha

None of us on here were born honda specialists we were all novices/noobs one day.
I do think people should try find out stuff by searching google before posting up a question, rather than taking the lazy option.

It's the same on nearly all owners forums, they're all slowly declining through a mixture of massive influx of new members, older or more experienced members selling up or not having time and people not prepared to put down their keyboards and meet people in real life.
Last year I was helping to arrange a meet for the Yaris Club, in the past the meet had entertained some of the highest turnouts of all our local meets yet after 3 attempts we gave up as people kept pulling out last minute. Then at TOTB I went up with the Skyline Owners Club and we had a total of 6 cars where in the past they'd had over 20, a tent and a BBQ.
And to top it off at JAE we'd arranged one of the biggest pitches for 30 cars with the Yaris Club, we had 6 and me and my mate were last minute in terms of deciding to go, but it was one of the most fun weekends I've ever had!
From what I've found car forums are a mix of people who talk bullshit, people seeking advice, people who need their ego stroking and a very small percentage of people that genuinely know their stuff. Sadly I've found that if you believe everything people tell you on forums you quite often don't bother doing stuff cos someone's had a 'bad experience'
As far as searching on EK9 I'll be honest and say the built in search tool is not that great, however typing 'EK9' into Google usually brings EK9.org up as the first result with whatever you're searching for. And you're right a lot of questions have been answered already but there's still a lot of old threads that haven't.
My personal bug bear on here is the number of non-EK9 owners asking questions specific to their car. I've joined up here because I want to learn about EK9's not other Civics. Now I'm not saying that non-EK9 members should be told to leave but that maybe the technical questions should be separated into EK9 and other model sections so when you do search for something you don't find a tonne of topics that aren't relevant to EK9s
