I belong to so many, I've lost count. I'm active here, somewhat less on Truth in Detailing, and on a San Diego Chargers forum that I help moderate. I usually join a forum when I buy something new (Palm PDA, Magellan GPS, other electronic devices) to learn how to use them, troubleshoot problems (I'm a big believer that someone else has already experienced my problems and resolved them) and to score free apps and other goodies. But after the learning curve is reached, I tend to drop off them. I'm a periodic member of a Honda Accord forum which is a great resource for dealing with questions on maintenance and resolving issues that might otherwise cost me a trip to the mechanic.

Great summary explanation of what forums are great for John. Forums are great for gathering information from the end-users side of the equation before making a purchase. Niche car forums are great if like working on your car as there's usually a few key gurus to help you solve your problem and good forums offer a nice cyber environment to hang out in during the discussion duration.

Hi CC,that's the good thing here.There's a learning curve,but there are a lot of variables. What's the honda forum like? Is there one for civic owners?

The Accord forum is OK, but like a lot of forums it has several members that run the site through their personal opinion. A lot of the focus is on modding, which is not of particular interest to me since I like to keep my car stock. But the tips and DIY's are excellent and informative.
