tristate vs other forums

[PhillyLS1]

I think a forum's focus has alot to do with it's perceived success.

TST focus is on local hanging out and general car talk. Doesn't get too much into the technical aspect. Only real problem you typically run into here is cliques. But there is a positive attitude all around.
It's a good forum to learn about different platforms.

On forums where street racing is the focus there is generally where you get the trash talking and fist fights at meets. It simply has to do with the aggressive nature and egos of the sport.
I think also that money ='s speed. Since TST has a younger demographic (ie guys in college/fresh out of HS) there is an understanding that you make do with what you have. It's not like other forums where guys have 30K+ into their rides running 9's.
IF TST had a street racing section you would see more crap pop up and more problems. It would exclude alot of people and they'd get sick of it and leave.
