Hmm.. Bored at work and came across this thread. Ressurecting for my $0.02. I frequent two boards, one a local board, dedicated mainly to Stangs and F-bodys, and here, on occassion. The first board, being local, and fairly small (probably 5-600 ACTIVE members) and being "mulletmobile" based, I understand and am amused when the threads deteriorate and result in name calling, cursing, etc. There is only a little bit of technical knowledge to be gained, as all car makes are represented, and there are too many brand specific websites out there. I know or have met the majority of the owners, and although most are good people, some really are jerks, kinda like here.
Unfortunately, I always thought Prime and the NSX community held itself to a higher standard, and it seems those days are gone. Maybe it is the general trend of people becoming less "mannered" due to the net, but I seem to recall a time here when people seemed to be more gentlemanly, and got respect from me simply by being here and being a contributing member. Granted, I still have a heck of a lot of respect for a lot of people here, but the site is not what it used to be. My local website goes through cycles of stupidity, but one of those cycles here got me to the point where I am not a regular visitor any more, and only check in once and a while on my friends, and for technical info, most of which can be found with a search. At one time, I thought NSX's and their owners were classy, exotic, and a true brotherhood. Now I just see it as another car, with owners that are just as bad as Pcar and Fcar owners. And it honestly makes me kinda sad.
