come on now,
you know thats not the issue. Most of the things that go on here are straightforeward questions that get quick replies and drop off the map. Or people just BS-ing for a while and then they drop away. We want the unique issues that are not time sensitive to stay up front and center so people will have a good resourse to make their cars safer, faster and handle better. Thats what this place is really supposed to be about.
Isn't it?

Some people might want good advice about what painting materials
to use when repairing or repainting the body. This is a BIG $$$
question ... painting the vette, but it has nothing to do with safety,
speed, or handling. Your narrow definition fits YOUR interests, not the
interests of the group.
I still contend that the resources will be dilluted by a split, and technical
questions will get even less views - due to people not visiting all the
sub-forums.
Just my opinion getting in the way. C3 will still be a great place,
but maybe not better - like many think. We'll see ....

If they want to know how much it'll cost to have it done in a shop it goes in general.
You guys are twisting my words around.

Well I voted to split the Forum. I will continue to vote to split the forum or request that all forums ( C-4 -C-6)are treated equally and only have the one main topic, General.
That said, I would really like to keep the C-3 General Topics Section and instead of adding TECH Section, add a friggen C-3 Off Topic Section to post all of the BS in! That way there shouldn't be a problem sorting BS from General topics.

Please split em!
It sure would make things easier for me if the forum was split up a bit. I basically live here and even with the frequent visits I have a hard time finding things I'm looking for. Moreover, When an urgent need is posted it usually only takes a couple hours to bury it.
As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "Try something, even if it doesn't work at least you tried something"
Here's my suggestion
1. C3 Parts for sale/free
2. C3 Parts wanted
3. C3 Vettes for sale/wanted
4. C3 Technical chat/OEM
5. C3 Performance/Upgrades/Racing
6. C3 General/Introductions/OT
After reviewing the C4 & C5 sections I can't imagine it would be very difficult to make the split

In another thread the question was raised why it took so long...the answer was it would take software modifications. I don't get it, this is just your egular vbulletin software and like any messageboard software you can add categories and subforums with the click of a button. The only thing I can think of would be the javascript menu bar on top and the style specific links on the left, if someone hard coded those and didn't have them to be built up by the existing software, like in the way it indexes the forum, it'll take the editing of a javascipt menu and 7 (c1,2,3,4,5,6 z06) styled menus on the left. How long can that take??? I think we're led by the nose here.

I am dedicating myself to seeing this happen. If i don't do anything else positive here on the forum or in my whole damn life in the next 10 years, i'm gonna be constant as the northern star on this issue.
There are some very influential big number posters here that would do anything to kill progress.
But i am unwavering. Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round Perdition's Flames before I give him up.
