I can't be the only one who's noticed a lot of anger/hate/arguments going on here recently... Whether it be people asking age-old questions and getting berated, people's negativity, people being moany about other people's perceived negativity or people getting the hump when their 2004 daily gets wiped from the for sale board, it seems rife and it's bringing me down...  Can we return to a happier place? One where questions are answered informatively & politely (bearing in mind some people are newer and younger than others), negativity is met with a request for positivity and basically a general respect given for such a good resource of FREE information and automotive pleasure... Peace and love man, peace and love    |

I can't be the only one who's noticed a lot of anger/hate/arguments going on here recently... Welcome to January and February on car forums... winter is always hard on us. Other than the banded steels and the vegan (!!) threads, can you point me at the other sources or negativity please... or report them or whatever. In the mean time... more hippy cars.  |

Everyone is generally in a bad mood in January, miserable weather, no money, being back to work & increasing waist lines after the festive season are a bad mix.  |

Pity. In contrast, I thought Bstardchild's 'Resolutions' thread set a positive tone for achieving our personal targets this year. To assist with restoring the balance :  |

The reason we are a happy bunch is the fact we know we enjoy our retro vehicles from every angle and every story tells an interesting twist on our hobby. By the law of average the most happy go lucky retro fan as an off day i suppose. One two many broken widgets to replace maybe but some positive encouragement will bring everything back into shape.

It's not only on the forum that I am feeling negativity, it's at work as well. Continuing dark nights, lack of funds after the Winter Festival and a general lack of enthusiasm really gets you down this time of year. I generally work 4 on, 4 off shifts, but really struggle to find the motivation to get out in the garage to do anything on my 4 rest days. I suppose that it is psychological really, anything under 10 degrees and I tend to vegatate in front of the TV or computer. 10 degrees plus and I'm happily working in the garage and getting loads of things sorted!! I suppose that I'm a bit of a reptilian and need a bit of warmth to get me going? And if it's anything like -1, I'm staying indoors. Respect for our Canadian and Norwegian / Swedish members. How the Fook do you find inspiration to get out there?!! I guess that I'm a British softie?!!!

As you all said, a forum is a mirror of the society.
And in January and February, the busy christmas-time is over so there is not much distraction from the cold weather and the darkness outside.
I feel this too, every year. No motivation to do something on the old cars that are hibernating in the barn, the daily driver looks ugly with all the salt and the horrible winter-tires-winter-rims on it. But think about march and the beginning spring. It will be a wonderful time!
