DSM Talk
 

Just wondering who is apart of DSM Talk? u probably all are, just wondering. What do you think of it?

Re: DSM Talk
 

Big national forums suck.

Re: DSM Talk
 

but u can find alot of information on that site can't u? i just signed up to see what it was, lots of stuff but i know i can get it all from dsm style, just wondering if anything good about it.

Re: DSM Talk
 

Yeah, somewhat good info that you can search for, but good luck trying to carry an educated conversation on there.

Re: DSM Talk
 

Thats pretty much how it is on Tuners too... Thats why I never post. I just look at all the retarded posts and some do searches on stuff that I might need to know. The search feature is nice on there but thats about it.

Re: DSM Talk
 

Exactly, I use em mainly to search. And sometimes I try to answer questions, but I don't really ask anything on there because I'll get horrible responces that help none. And the new Site Admin at DSMTalk is an idiot too.

Re: DSM Talk
 

I learned a lot of what I know from Talk many years back, its been quite a while since I've visted either Talk or Toonerz and my guess is I never will again.

Re: DSM Talk
 

I spend quite a bit of time reading on Toonerz and proving stupid people wrong with the little knowledge I have. I have only browsed Talk a half of dozen times but have also heard that the new Admin is a f*cking idiot. Any forum that has Martin Hala as a moderator out to be trashed and never allowed to renew their domain name IMHO.

Re: DSM Talk
 

DSMTuners, DSMTalk, DSMLife, DSMETC, ect ect. They are in the end created for the same reasons I made DSMStyle. Have an interactive board and hope it grows. Talk was the beginning. Tuners ended up as a well thought out network and Chris has made it into a great tool.

DSMStyle has stayed local for the most part and I couldn't have had it any other way. It started with select few on here signing up and word spread. Here it is now.


BTW, BKs50trimGST: Please work on the spelling, grammer, and correct punctuation. It helps fellow members actually read what's going on. ;)

Re: DSM Talk
 

Who is he and what'd he do?

Re: DSM Talk
 

It's grammar, AJ.

Re: DSM Talk
 

Please say you're being sarcastic?

Re: DSM Talk
 

Grammar. ;)

Re: DSM Talk
 

Grammer = not in the dictionary
Grammar = The system of rules implicit in a language, viewed as a mechanism for generating all sentences possible in that language.
:)

Yes I do agree they are useful tools. I just don't like posting questions because over half the people have no clue, which is fine, but if you have no clue, don't respond with your GUESS. That's what I hate about it. But they are good sources for info if you have time to search!!

BTW, I believe that Martin is not a MOD on Talk anymore.

Edit - wow people jumped all over that quick!! I guess I'm too slow

Re: DSM Talk
 

What he said. You can still make out what I was trying to get at. ;)

Re: DSM Talk
 

WTF, get off my chops. I fucked up spelling on a post. I've been doing that for 5 years now. And don't plan on stopping anytime soon. ;)

Re: DSM Talk
 

The ironic part was that it was a post about spelling correctly. :)

Back on topic. I am on dsmtalk and toona'z but am very inactive now that I have no more dsm.

Re: DSM Talk
 

First thing I learned in my leadership courses. If you're going to correct someone, better make damn sure you are squared away yourself, because that person is going to be looking for something to correct you on right on the spot to try and make you look equally as dumb!

Re: DSM Talk
 

Yea it was ironic but atleast it still is pronounced the same way so we know wtf hes talking about.

Re: DSM Talk
 

let's consider it my own "slang". And in my "house", my "slang" works. LOL

Re: DSM Talk
 

I know nothing about the guy. I don't follow the DSM-scene anymore except for the local stuff here.

Re: DSM Talk
 

He is the owner of Taboo Speed Shop. I believe me612 is one of the countless who has been ripped of by Martin.

Re: DSM Talk
 

Ahh ok, I've heard about that. Why doesn't somebody just go "deal" with him?

Re: DSM Talk
 

Considering he's 30 miles away from me, don't know. I keep wanting to get a detailed list together between here and Toonerz of who he's ripped off and take a roadtrip down to Des Moines but I don't seem to get that far.

Re: DSM Talk
 

I'd consider this to be a national forum with a Midwestern base.

Re: DSM Talk
 

I wouldn't. A VERY large percentage of the members are in the Twin Cities metro area.

Re: DSM Talk
 

And everyone else wants to move here or was kicked out or the state, aka Tom. ;)

Re: DSM Talk
 

Ya that thief robbed me. Visit www.vendors-reviewed.com and you'll a good amount of people who have been ripped off by him. He still posts up on DSMTalk regularly. Someone sure does need to deal with him. I heard he broke his back which is how he originally got behind. I bet it hurt a lot, but I bet it'd hurt more if it broke again!!

Re: DSM Talk
 

I use to post on talk and tuners way way back, I think my last post on talk was sometime in 2003..tuners not sure, its about once every 6 months there.

Re: DSM Talk
 

I'll say one thing, if it were for dsmtalk, i wouldn't be where i'm at today. I've only been into DSM's since 2001 and this is my 2nd DSM. DSMtalk is just another good source of information. The Database is pretty big. I don't favor any one over the other. If i don't find it on talk, i'll look on tuners and vise versa. I like the local feeling of style and the quick response to my threads. I would never stop using one or the other regardless of who the site owner is. Since late last year i've hardly had to use talk or tuners because of style.

Re: DSM Talk
 

The only real difference that I have found with different DSM sites is the quality of the information they have and how much trust you can put in it. When I am searching for something that I am stumped on, I ask JET or Nash first and after that I go and search NABR. I don't even both going on Toonerz or Talk because you can't rely on that information in my book unless I see someone reputable posting info on them sites I won't even take it into consideration.

CRAIG

Re: DSM Talk
 

...yes and there is nothing like doing a search and getting 8+ variations to a project you're doing and wondering who the hell to trust. And then there is the people that post a help question and never reply back as to what solved their problems. I hate that! I usually like to close my help threads with resolutions.

Re: DSM Talk
 

i whore it up on there quite often.


i usually do not post too many problems up there, as the answers I get are not that great.

greenstreak and a few other mods are pretty knowledgeable.


as for taboo, he is no longer a mod and doesn't post on dsmtalk anymore.

my friend/mechanic was the AHP guy. And he just screwed up alot and ended up closing shop this past summer. I helped him move.

but guess what, he owes me money and parts still ;-D

Re: DSM Talk
 

He doesn't happen to have the leftover inventory (exhaust) does he? :D

Re: DSM Talk
 

Steeltwo- do you happen to have any contact information for Chris Andersen? I know him pretty well too. I believe it was Siren that he moved to. His cell phone# is dead.

Yeah he did mess up though. Bit off more than he could chew especially with the group buy of intercooler he hosted but thats his and his prior customers business.

Re: DSM Talk
 

he has alot of piping left and the jig to make exhausts.

but thats it.

Re: DSM Talk
 

So has he completely stopped fabricating parts?

Re: DSM Talk
 

yeah he got a new cell phone because sprint doesn't cover up there in Siren.

he called me to give me the # but I lost it.

i'll try to get ahold of him again soon.

Re: DSM Talk
 

for now
he will again once things get settled in Siren.

he wants a big barn style structure to be his shop. But who knows what'll happen. his TT stang is still here in storage. I want to steal it, but it has a FP problem.

Re: DSM Talk
 

I wasnt Kicked out, i left.... granted if i would have stayed, i would have definatly been in jail right now sleeping next to bubba. The funniest thing was that when i was in for 2 days, there was an inmate that was talking to me because i worked at The Sportsmans guide, and he wanted me to get him a deal on a Knife as a "present" for his dad. I gave him the wrong number for him to call me. LOL
but anyways at least i have a clean record by getting my liscense here. Im not able to drive in MN until November. LOL if you cant beat the system get out of the state and start again. LOL
Yeah DSMStyle pretty much rocks, lets give Aj Jana and the mods a big round of applause. *clap*
