Man of few words, that is awesome. 26 posts in 10 years of lurking. Well done:)

May I ask, how often do you lurk?

One of my things was that even tho I am a car nut I am not a computerologist. So I had hesitations of joining for fear of always being bugged with ads and trying to sell me crap..

This is not the case with this forum. Its a wonderful place with a lot of info and helpful advice.

That's what a quality forum is all about.... providing helpful accurate information.

A friendly forum is all about providing a place where there's no forum bullies that have to feed their ego by belittling or demeaning others. When I first came to this forum we had a few of those guys on this forum but after implementing a few forum rules they simply showed themselves the door.

I've personally been running, or better yet, simply answering questions and sharing how-to information in the forum world since I joined the original Autopia in 2002. I started and ran the MeguiarsOnline.com discussion forum from 2004 to 2009 and then came to Autogeek in 2009.

My personal practice is to make a forum both friendly and helpful. I know I personally won't join a forum where riff raff hangs out. There's just too many "good" options available.

Its just amazing how many visitors there are and how few members compared to visitors in the site..

Over the years what people have told me is they get what they need simply by searching and reading so they don't join and participate.


What you do see is when someone really gets serious about a project they do join and then start asking questions. That's the serious folks. I'd also say high caliber folks.

I was a moderator on the other forum years back. I lurk here,like there, every day
 
Bill, I've told Mike Phillips you were the original "multi mitt" guy back before that other guy with the multiple towels named it after himself.
 
I still use multiple mitts. I wonder how multiple towels work sometimes but I'm happy with my mitts
 
I'm a newb.

I am getting back into car cleaning after a few years of being lazy.

Wife has a new Subaru and I am ready to pull the trigger on a 2018 Mustang GT when they come out. (Possibly black!)

I have been catching up on all the new products, took advantage of recent sales here and purchased hundreds of dollars of product and dusted off my trusty PC 2724 polisher.

Cleaning up the garage and waiting for the new Mustangs to hit the floor.

Been reading and buying...reading and buying!
 
The members here are so very helpful. No question goes unanswered no matter
how simple it may be. I know because I’ve asked plenty. The biggest thing I have learned is the more you think you know, the more you don’t. The members here
have so much knowledge and will share with you so openly to help you on your
way. Come on in!

Long time lurker, just joined! Been aggressively reading the forums lately and searching. Lots of info here to soak in. Quite overwhelming actually. Nothing like how it was in the early 2000s or late 90's when I 1st tried to polish my black '92 Acura using a Craftsman rotary polisher/sander(I still have this BTW). Thanks Mike for all of your detail info and videos throughout the years. Amazing work and passion!

I have a motto: "ask and look stupid, or don't ask and remain stupid"

I really like this forum. I never encountered anyone telling me to "use the search button" or "read Mike's detailing tips before posting a question"

Very nice community indeed

And this is they way we like it. Friendly and helpful. I've seen the ugly side of the forum world and even uglier side of the Facebook Group world, always makes me feel like I need to take a shower after spending time there...
