Title: What is it about ECM? Post by: skizot on November 23, 2009, 07:18:58 PM I got to thinking that while I may not post much, I still participate from time to time and I value the friendships that I have created here at ECM, but what is it about ECM that makes it different? I think I came to the conclusion that unlike other forums, this is not bombarded by the masses. There is an actual process to ensure that this remains a tight community of friendship and support, not drama and bullshit.
I think that is why this is the first forum, although my interest in my Accord has dwindle to nothing more then a daily driver, yet I still remain and check the new posts everyday. I am glad gen7accord made the changes they did, otherwise who knows if I would have ever made my way over here. Thanks everyone for keeping the community strong and worth coming back for more. Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: Mike on November 23, 2009, 07:53:38 PM I'm happy that you feel this way although. A the checks and balances make a big difference but, the fabric of this site is the members.... We have a great foundation here, and I hope that we can continue to add more great people to our little piece of the Accord community.
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: CrackerTeg on November 23, 2009, 09:19:55 PM I completely agree with both you guys. And Scott, I couldn't have said it better myself. Hell, if you look at the other forums I'm a member of under the same username, you'll notice my activity over there is nowhere near as much as here. I like the "tight knittedness" (if that's even a word) of this forum over the others ten fold.
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: sherker55 on November 23, 2009, 09:25:35 PM I am basically new..haven't even done an intro thread yet, but I 3rd that thought...I don't even really bother with other forums unless someone here posts a link to something they found elsewhere. good shit
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: b_beau_09 on November 23, 2009, 09:27:22 PM ^it's a word now Z.. and I fully agree.. I like the small community feel that we get here, we all have a sense of family on this board, and it's a wonderful thing. on other sites it just seems like a big city with tons of people that clutter up my life.. here it's just a small town where every one knows one another..
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: CrackerTeg on November 23, 2009, 09:33:25 PM Brian, if you start going into the Cheers theme song, I'll ban you for a month.
J/K. But seriously. Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: timot_one on November 23, 2009, 11:34:25 PM Fuck you guys! Making me blush.

I joined this site February of this year and havent been inactive since. I really enjoy the site; it has so many useful people and information, so I stick around here. Thanks for keeping it up admins.
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: slipkord on November 24, 2009, 08:20:06 AM ALL of you guys are weird. I can picture all of you sitting in the corner of a garage sniffing gear lube.
Seriously, this form is like a small classroom, you get that one on one attention that with the bigger forums you can get lost in. Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: CrackerTeg on November 24, 2009, 08:23:18 AM I don't sniff gear lube Jeremy since our cars don't use it. I sniff leftover high temp paint from engine parts and brake calipers.
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: Jeff Likes Bagels on November 24, 2009, 11:02:45 AM The size is definitely the largest difference between how ECM operates as opposed to other places such as the new gen7space, DA, or V6P. Here on ECM, it's a very tight place; so tight, in fact, that you can smell Z's ass coming towards you if you don't post pics.
![]() In all seriousness though, this has been the absolute most informational and educational forum about cars that I have ever been to. I also have to hand it to the administration of this forum. If it wasn't for the organization you guys have, ECM would have become another gen7space. Title: Re: What is it about ECM?

The sig says it all! Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: Paulius005 on November 24, 2009, 05:16:56 PM LMAO! We're making Tim cry!
But I do love this site! Any other forum that I visit any large thread has at least a 5-10 page tangent that has nothing to do with the original topic; so I would like to thank the admins as well. Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: CrackerTeg on November 24, 2009, 06:15:07 PM Hell, we try. But the most kudos goes to Tim for this site and all the changes that have been made thus far.

Post by: CrackerTeg on November 24, 2009, 06:33:18 PM Ah yes. Definitely props to Jeff.
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: unclejud49348 on November 24, 2009, 07:23:40 PM Yeah back to OP, I feel the same way. This is usually the first site I go to when I get on the net, even if I haven't done anything to my car I still read new posts everyday. The site is like crack to accord owners, can't get enough..
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: Asim on November 25, 2009, 02:09:55 PM I think because it is very specific to a generation. And that being almost latest generation (so not everyone and thier kid is picking up this car for 2k and wants to cut the springs...)
And on top of that, its a very hidden website. You won't find it on the first page of google if you search Honda Accord forum. Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: CrackerTeg on November 25, 2009, 05:53:42 PM And I'm actually glad that it doesn't pop up on the first page of google. If it did, this would be another gen7space with punkass bitches asking about halos, lambo doors, and if the electric supercharger adds a whole bunch of power. I would hate to have to punt those fucktards off the site for soiling it with their garbage.
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: Tunergirl on November 25, 2009, 09:35:29 PM This is usually the first forum I log onto as well. We are definately a close knit family here. Not only that I know I can come on here and get a laugh from all you guys and it usually makes my day when I had a rough one like today. Thanks guys
Title: Re: What is it about ECM? Post by: CrackerTeg on November 25, 2009, 10:29:08 PM Hey, that's what we're here for. Good ol' fashioned gut busting humor.
