| − | + | '''The quality of discussion in the Engine forum of the Hotrodders Bulletin Board has come into question. Concerns include: | |
| + | *Too many basic, repetitive, or inane questions. | ||
| + | *A lack of media savvy and automotive industry savvy among the general population. | ||
| + | *Too contentious and aggressive. | ||
| + | *An abundance of self-proclaimed "experts". | ||
| + | The counterpoint indicates that: | ||
| + | *It's not really broken, it's just the nature of the net. | ||
| + | *Could invite elitism and snobbery, rather than cultivate kindness and respect. | ||
| + | *Chases away newcomers, who are the seeds of the future community. | ||
