^This one is not technically official, but it seems unavoidable. This group was made without my permission, and try as I might, I can't seem to separate it from the forum.
I agree that it's an absolute trainwreck. That Facebook group has quite literally set CB7tuner back by about 7 years. The questions being asked are things that are not just answered on here, but stuck at the top of the appropriate forums! Worse, the answers given to those questions are often absolutely terrible.
Just the other day, I saw someone telling another member to use Prelude mounts and axles for an H22A swap. I saw someone tell another member that he will need a PT6 ECU for his F22B1 swap. Ignorance when asking a question is fine. Ignorance when answering a question is unacceptable.
Spoon feeding is expected, and you get insulted if you don't do so. If you're not polite when you're spoon feeding (you know... making airplane and choo-choo sounds) then you also get insulted. If you give terrible, inaccurate information... you are thanked for it. Often, people will ask to be instructed on simple tasks... like a J swap or RHD conversion... fully expecting people on Facebook to be able to give them all the information they need in those little reply boxes.
If someone asks a question and the accurate information you give isn't the answer they want to hear, you're called a "hater".
People regularly ask opinions, and then get pissed off when the opinions given aren't all positive. To make it more fun, the picture they're asking opinions on is a partial shot of their car, crooked, in poor lighting, blurry... and the car itself has body parts of multiple colors, clear panel gaps, and dents everywhere.
Finally, a LOT of the posts on there are almost impossible to understand. When you ask for the person to clarify, they get offended.


So yes... you can clearly see my stance on the Facebook group. Sadly, it's not going away... and I know that if I delete the group, another will just crop up that I will have no control over. I get my share of hate mail, or public posts declaring how much of a tool I am... but I'm now TRYING to redirect that group to be more like the forum. I'm also trying to redirect the people on the group TO the forum more often, as the information they want is readily available here.
You'll see me there butting heads with people often. It's for a reason, not just because I like being a jerk.
It's a pain in the ass, but it's a reality that we have to deal with. I have help from a few people I trust, and I'll probably be enlisting more help as things go on.


But yes... this forum is what keeps me going. This community restores my faith in CB7tuners, where the Facebook regularly shatters it.

The amount of mis informed fools on the unofficial page just...idk anymore.

[Davids92Accord]

I agree with deev and henroc the amount of lazy tools there is just ridiculous. You can give them the correct and safer way to do something and they still would go with the unsafe way because its easier.

[wildcatloe]

I agree with all you guys!! But it's about to get crazier check this out


I hope I'm not annoying anyone with sharing this information...

lol yea Deev hit it right on the money!! I just hope people actually really take the time to hit the forum instead of the facebook group! I was beyond shocked at the responses and personalities on there

[Honda_Lady]

Yea I definitely left those groups long ago because of the garbage that was being posted and the stupid unsafe "help" that was given to people. I won't to back, I would rather stay right here and be on the Official Page rather then any of those groups.

Activity on the forum has decreased drastically.

Unfortunately, that means the revenue earned from the ads has decreased drastically. That money goes directly toward the cost of hosting this site.

No money for hosting = no hosting. No hosting = no CB7tuner.com.



Facebook is quite literally killing this site.

I dumped the FB group 8 months ago. Got tired of the dumb crap and stupid questions being posted over and over again. When you get a bunch of monkeys together in a room....they are gonna sling poo at each other.

Indeed.
I tried to stay away, but then it occurred to me that the only way to save this forum might be to wrangle control of the Facebook and try to redirect. So far, no good. At the moment, I have some "professional" telling me that his cut springs and stock shocks are safe.

Since you own this website does that mean that Facebook group is not allowed to exist without your permission? And you can petition Facebook to have it deleted? Then do it. I don't understand the problem. If it's hurting the membership and revenue here do it. How long has it been around?
