while this is true, you have to admit that knowledgeable members are ones greatly improving quality of a car forum. if you're a stuck up cock who thinks holding a title of "moderator" gives you the power to call what's right and what's wrong no matter what the truth is, then your forum is worth shit and it will fall over sooner or later. if it doesn't, everyone who knows better will go elsewhere.
look at this very site. when it first started, there was E90Fleet and a line of others who knew more about E90s than any of us. that is why newbie members were so drawn to this site. Mark and Jason never tried to appear smarter than those members, rather, they valued their membership and help they provided to others. and today, E90post is one of the most successful and, most importantly, *respectable* E9x forums out there.
