A tech section has NOTHING to do with egos whatsoever. Just because we are more interested in what makes a car tick (and how to make it tick FASTER) , doesn't mean it's our ONLY interest. It DOES mean it's our PRIMARY interest. Reading level isn't relavent either. It's more a matter of setting up the C3 section to be more "user friendly". Why FORCE tech guys to read/scan/search through endless "my paint is prettier than yours" posts to find the answer to a tech question you posted that gets buried and never answered BECAUSE there are those non-tech posts??? We aren't saying ELIMINATE the paint/fuzzy dice/touchy-feely posts, just leave them in the General section and let the tech guys have their own section. If YOU have a carb go bad or an electrical problem or brakes that don't work and need advice/help, I'm sure YOU wouldn't want to sort through a bunch of silly stuff to find the answer to a question you asked. If the question is asked in the tech section, it would have a MUCH better chance of getting answered BECAUSE the tech guys that you find so disdainfully egomaniacal would BE there to SEE it.
Some day EVERYONE is gonna need a "know-it-all big ego", and if you drive them away by forcing them to post to the General section, you WON'T have them to answer your questions. You may not realize it, but quite a few knowledgeable people have already abandoned this forum because of the turn it has taken.

You'd feel bad if you learned it wasn't me that brought OT into last vote but as you wouldn't believe me so be it.

Out.

That's what you/ TT posted so I assume your not posting accusations. Honestly don't know/ don't care.

you said...and i quote "we're splitting"...
in case you havent noticed...this is NOT your forum and you are not a mod...AND it is NOT your place to decide...

i dont really give a rats azz anymore anyway...
all of you "splitters" and whinners are begining to beat us into submission anyway...

thats the only reason your winning now...
there have been a hundred votes on this and you lose EVERY TIME...

this reminds me of the little kid that keep asking for a certain toy so many times that the parent just gives in to shut him up...

yall just cant except the fact that the majority REALLY dosnt want a split...
most of us here, i believe, just want to put an end to this GD misery!!

well ive been sitting here for about twenty minutes trying to figure out the nicest way to respond to a post that calls me a crybaby and a retard but i think im finally at a loss for words. his response almost sounds like one of those NCRS guys that thinks adding an airfreshiner to your car kills it and everything that corvette stands for. oh well i guess there are people out there that are still afraid of change and lash out at others even if they are just throwing out ideas. I on the other hand will continue to come back here if the forum splits or not. there are to many nice and helpful people on this forum to leave just because of a format change.

Notice those little green faces?? Maybe...just maybe you are taking it the wrong way?

As for winning, it's not about winning, it's about making the forum a better place and not the cluttered mess it is now. I don't care about winning a vote, I care about being able to find the interesting topics amongst the heap of OT stuff posted here.

And who the hell are you calling me a whiner and a little kid, what's wrong with you man, got out of bed with the wrong foot? Lighten up ... you're over reacting and taking this whole thing way too serious. Who's the little kid now? Go run to your mommy and tell here it's not fair.

Maybe us yes voters should all quit the forum ...then the OT BS posters can sort out the questions here....let's see how quickly this place dies a quiet death then..or do you REALLY think the ot is what draws people to this forum?

I think I will be the first to leave, I do not accept your big mouth and your hostile conduct... goodbye I'm outta here

i apologize for that as it really is beneath me and what i stand for...
this thread popping up time after time just burns m y azz...
it IS like the kid who dosnt stop asking for something until he gets his way...think about it...

it just amazes me how people can think it will be "easier" to find things when they are scattered all over the place instead of in one package...
if you dont want to read about "do verts attract more girls"...
dont click on it...its that simple...
if you think a thread sounds stupid or uninteresting...DONT CLICK ON IT.

if your thread ends up 2 or 3 pages down...just ttt it.
is it really that hard to get to the bottom of a page and click on the next page?

just look at the examples that i posted earlier from the divided C5 forum and you will plainly see that it will not be as easy as you think because general posts will be in tech and tech posts will be in general...

you will just have 2 or 3 or 4 places to have to look for what you want to see...i dont understand why some members cant see that...
its right there to see for yourself...

i dont care for the OT stuff anymore that you do sir...
just watch and see...there will be OT stuff in tech and tech stuff in general...
all you have to do to see that is go see for yourself...
i posted about 20 examples earlier...
its not the fix all that some people here think that it will be...

besides...it dosnt really matter to me anymore because like a lot of others...i have been beat into submission and have changed my vote in order to let the topic die once and for all and we wont have to have this argument every 2 or 3 months...

i will just sort thru 2 or 3 or more forums to find the stuff i find interesting...i can handle that even tho it IS more hassel...

PEACE to all and i again i appologize to anyone that i offended
earlier...
