wasn't really much of a read more than it was bashing and bringing up something that happened years ago:zzz:

Very close to reality. She does sound a little bitter but it's a lot better description than calling Beyond a car forum.

Love the part about the SRT-4 driver.

WTF's her beef with Beyond? Did one of the e-macks get to her with 'tits or gtfo'. lol

The second half definetly sounds like someone has their panties in a twist, its not even entertaining :dunno:

Sad cause their online articles are generally funny

That was pretty lame. But the SRT-4 comment was spot on!

And I took slight offense to the over repetitive bashing of civic tuning :rofl:

In the 'Photographer's Corner', a handful of moderately talented photographers sit and cut themselves because people keep telling them that their cameras take nice pictures.

I like the stuff on their site though. Mainly that one story about winning the car in poker :rofl:

She doesn't have the guts to come on here and critique us so she cries in some obscure "newspaper" that probably has fewer readers than the menu board at a Timmies. What do you wanna bet its one of those "reporters" who was trying to get us to provide fodder for their stories a while ago?

Basically some broad nobody knows of (probably fat, even her caricature is a myspace angle) wrote an article for some magazine nobody reads, which is not so much a magazine as it is a blog.

"Posting on Beyond is a lot like living in Northeast Calgary - white people are definitely the minority, and English is definitely a second language. Strangely enough, the ones who seem to have the most trouble with typing intelligibly are the white kids. Mind you, that's not surprising since most white kids who are into cars in Calgary seem to be uneducated, inbred high school dropouts."

I found it to be an entertaining article. The civic comment isn't true anymore though. It's all about the skylines now. :rofl:

Ridiculous article, but some parts made me laugh. Fashion/apparel market place comment was gold lol.

Um, for myself anyways, that article perfectly summed up Beyond. Well over half the user base drives Civdorks, lots of azns here, and I'd never use Beyond for technical info (MOST of the time). :dunno:

I'm about 99.99% certain "kvanderlaag" is a Beyond member and has been for some time. Spent a lot of time in the photo forum if I recall correctly, and I think he worked at The Camera Store at one time. (I could have that part mixed up with a different guy though.) I think he drove an early Supra, seemed like a nice enough guy.

Interesting twist when you flip a few more pages as on page 20 is an article with a really nice silvia s14. They go from bashing car enthusiasts to show casing a car enthusiast.

Seemed to be a lot of generalizations that don't necessarily apply to Beyond. Felt like the author hadn't spent that much time on Beyond and was just talking about ricers in general.

The photographers part was a particularly nasty bit. Our resident talented photographers are definitely not average, and definitely don't shoot with Canon Rebels...

I feel this needs to be further instigated, beyond needs to make contact with this fool. We need to get him in this thread.

the other famous quote missed in the article was "govern yourself accordingly".

The article started out ok, but talk about split personality disorder.
Sorry, I guess I should not post as I'm not a stay at home mom living in the NE who dropped out of high school - but a full time employed designated accountant who lives in the SW.

For someone who doesn't seem to like Beyond very much, he's posting on here a few times a week at least, lol.

LOL the Civic bit actually made me laugh, since we all know we have a big fan base on beyond for anything related to Honda, but yes the article turned out lame. The photographer corner bashing was not cool at all, hell some of the guys/girls here have alot of talent, and this douche doesn't seem to have any, sounds like he/she is jealous of their skills.:thumbsdow
