Default C3, general vs tech?

Silly question, but what's the difference between the C3 tech and the C3 general on the forum.
I'm sure it's simple but I'm a bit confused.

Guys appreciate the answers. the C2 is not split, so is it the volume on the C3 section?

C3 Tech is more a performance oriented section, with more "how to/ DIY" threads. This is mainly info on repairing, modifying, improving, updating your C3, as well as performance benchmarking etc....

Anything that has to do with PERFORMANCE.

C3 General is just that, basic corvette topics, questions on value, originality, history, restoring, traveling, wax , and NCRS related banter...

The C3 section was only one before and it was mainly tech. At some point people voted to split it into two sections. People were getting tired of the Off Topic stuff in the C3 section, that was always historically technical.

I see 305,000 threads combined in C3 Tech and General. The C2 section has 131,000 threads so it's not as active.

That 305000 is the total number of threads in general and Tech added together over the life of the forum. And generally it is an average of 10 posts per thread so that's about 3 million posts for the 300,000 threads. There's a whole lot of stuff in technical that belongs in general there's a whole lot of stuff in general that belongs in technical but for the most part people sort of figure out which should be where and it reduces the amount of what port cross-section and what camshaft specs do I want in general from where do I hook up these ground wires and where do I find seat covers in performance...
