Default Forum ethics

I have a question about forum ethics. As I have spoke about in the past, I support this site in every way and I am a true believer that this site is so much more better, fun, informational, and enjoying than any other of the Hyundai forums. So with that being said, is it wrong or unethical to go to other forums and try to recruit or get people to come here for the better sake of the community? I think the problem that lies with other forums is that people find them in one way or another, and they just sort of park themselves there without really doing research to see what else is out there. They may become disgruntled or upset over the fact that something is happening at the forum they are apart of but they remain loyal to it because they do not know any better or know of other forums that are much better. So in order to make the community, the scene, and the over all objective of Hyundai tuning become greater and grow in larger numbers....wouldnt it be right to inform members of this forum and try to pool as many Hyundai owners as we can here?

I do the same thing and tell people about this site all the time too. If moderators and admins get mad that we are telling people about something better then oh well. I could care less.

I love how its all Genesis owners in here posting about this, considering we all hate Gen Coupe.com. I'm pretty sure I read theres alot of Tiburon owners who tell members on NT and HP about this forum too.

Let your voices be heard. I'm interested in how others feel as well.

^ ^ Why? Most of the active members are still here anyways. Hell, even SOCKS is still here, and he hasn't owned a Hyundai in 4 years!!

This is much better. Everything from there is here and more. Don't forget RDT came to a screeching halt in terms of posting during its last few months.



This is truly a great place. I haven't had one problem. Everyone has been open, assertive, and flexible. And unlike other forums where members disappear forever, I still recognize some top names popping back in! Hi geesmith!!!
