Missing methodtim

bsamoul · 04-04-2009, 01:01 PM

he has better things to be doing anyway, like looking after his baby

Zirenz2006 · 04-04-2009, 01:07 PM

I always enjoyed his posts.

Debaser · 04-04-2009, 01:21 PM

I haven't been here long but it seemed to me that MethodTim contributed more in the way of prolific criticism and condescension than anything else. I always found it refreshing when he took an earnest interest in a thread, but that seemed to be the exception rather than the rule.

"Entertainment value" doesn't trump a fellow member's legitimate expectations for fair, respectful dialogue. I can see how breaching that expectation deliberately and continuously would lead to be a ban.

He's banned unfortunately.

He'd mainly do that if one posted a stupid question, which should not lead to a ban in my opinion. If someone first searched and then asked a legit question, he'd usually post an honest attempt at an answer.

(Like no, seriously, I need to know.)

I personally will miss the smarta$$ comments. Not to mention that he has pointed me in the right direction more than once while making me feel like shit. Its still better than having to deal with retarded dealers.

That line really made me crack up

Although I can't speak for Tim, but I'm sure he would agree with me if he was here; we only ridicule posters when the questions they ask could easily be answered via a simple search, and even then we usually provide a link or two to get them started.

And yeah, this site was made for enthusiasts, not kindergarten questions like "what % tint should I get?", "manual vs. step?"

So should I get manual tint or automatic tint?

True, he was a 'tough love' type of guy, but he had actually gotten better. For instance, he was making an effort to direct people to information, instead of flaming them for not searching (flaming is understandable, considering how few people use the search function).

This is probably a case of an overzealous mod that decided he didn't like the guy, so they decided to stick it to him.

ya i guess your right they are pretty stoopid questions

smartys · 04-05-2009, 04:35 AM

WTF? I have to say, sometimes I would read Methodtim's posts and think they may be a bit harsh, but regardless, I ALWAYS LMAO.......When I first read a few of his posts, I thought that this guy might be a bit of an asshole, but as I read more, I realized that was just his way, and he was really only taking the piss, and he did still direct ppl to links/info.....So he's a bit of a sarcastic dude, so what......if someone took offence, they could just pm him and say "hey, i was offended seriously, please don't do that".....I'm the biggest noob in the world, and sometimes I post stupid questions (not those retarded ones about what colour is the best, etc, but, omg is something wrong with my car cause i heard this weird noise.....), and I don't mind being flamed.......e90post is a community of brothers (and sisters) in my book......so what's the big deal?

Fuck it I'm starting a thread to reinstate that mofo....BRING BACK METHODTIM!

it's "in before the lock" - people get in their comments before a thread is closed/locked
