new beetle cup car

[perraost]

which cup should i win to get the New beetle cup car?

It looks as tho you only win Beetles from the actual Beetle Cup, otherwise you'll have to buy one. Try looking at Jordan's sticky thread...where it says “Read This before you ask”. It's a FAQ guide and has tons of info.

Indeed. To save time, in the thread do a Ctrl + F and put in "Beetle Cup Car", and you will find it easier.

Umm, the New Beetle Cup Car is not for sale, the last time I checked. Nor is the Lupo Cup Car.

OK what exactly is the problem here.

Famine has asked you to stop dredging up old posts, you are simply resurecting these for no reason what so ever.

Bring up an old post if you have something to add is one thing, but repeatedly doing it by adding rubbish and/or repeated information is a pointless waste of everyone time.

Please consider this your first official warning, you get three and after that you are out.

Take it on board, as this simply looks to me like an attempt to raise your post count.

Regards

Bro, I already answered this question months ago. I already said "it seems you only can win these cars, you cannot buy them". At the time, I wasn't sure where you win them; hence I advise you to check out a GT3 prize car list.

Since it was brought up by Scaff in this thread, I thought it would be a good time to ask. What benefit does it have to increase your post count? I've been a member since February I think and really don't post all that much b/c I usually don't have anything to say that hasn't been said already. I also don't see the point in posting replies like "great thread" or "cool idea", as it really adds nothing of value to the thread. So getting back to my question, does a higher post per day average do anything for you other than make yourself feel good about being a contributing member?

PS As a side note, the first time I posted anything was in the gt4 fourm, and of course it was "what car should I use for the clio cup?". Looking back on it, it was a stupid post, but I didn't know any better. But I did get two responses (Famine and Duck) without any noob bashing, and I am still very active at this site because of it.

Anyways Thanks if anyone can help with that question

This would be better on the Site Feedback and Questions board, but there has been a lot of new-user education going on all over, so I'll answer it here, with no hard feelings. There are a couple perceived - note that I say perceived - benefits to a higher post count.

• Custom avatars and user titles are actual benefits of making a certain number of posts, so many people try to post a lot to reach those goals. They are, however, a function of how long you are a member as well, so post whoring doesn't help.
• Many post-whoring new members mistakenly believe that a high post count will give them the credibility and respect enjoyed by long-term members. In truth, all it does is annoy the rest of the community.
• Lots of new members (and some older ones) just can't get over the breathless excitement of seeing their own words in print.

Positive reputation points for this part! I wish all new members were like this. We enjoy any real contribution any member (new or old) makes, but it gets exhausting to read through dozens of redundant threads. It's especially tiring to have a new person appear, acting as if their questions or posts are the first and best on a subject, as if they couldn't possibly have been thought of before by one of the thousands of other active members.

As you've discovered, the information and effort and knowledge collected on this forum is a very valuable resource, and there's no reason to waste that resource through laziness, non-thinking, or over-excitement.

Most new members come here with a question in mind, and the goal of getting it answered as quickly as possible. We all realize that, and we remember being like that too when we first joined, however many years or months ago. Rarely will a person's absolute first stupid question get flamed, unless the answer is immediately obvious - I've seen new threads posted on existing topics that were still fresh, on the first page of the index. That demonstrates that the new user isn't even bothering to help himself at all before expecting us to hand him everything. The new user is typically directed to the Search button or the FAQs, with varying degrees of politeness. Many users (like you) get the message, don't get offended, and start doing some research before posting new topics. These are the quality, contributing members we like to see in for the long term.

But some don't get the hint, or do get offended. Hyperactive posting of stupid or redundant topics will get the user in trouble. These users normally make no friends among the community or staff, and end up leaving because no one likes them... or they get banned for not following the directions given by the staff, or because they throw a tantrum when they are repeatedly corrected.

So yes, the established community can be rude to new members sometimes, even when it's not entirely fair. But most often it's in response to laziness, stupidity, or arrogance on the part of the newcomer. We do try to welcome members who don't abuse the resources and who make an effort to contribute in return.

Thanks for answering my question Duke. Sorry I didn't put it in the right section, it didn't even cross my mind. It definately would have been better in the site feedback section. I would ask you to move it there, but the beginning part of the thread is pretty much useless. Thanks
