Default Can we now split the C-3 site, please.....

It's time, with all the new members and mixed topics. I'm ready. Here's my list.
General Discussion - Anything goes, OT to Dropped the ladder on my car....
Repairs/Restoration - NCRS and How to's..
Custom/Performance - Bad Ash engines, Customs, Conversion, Aftermarket...

I know it's been brought up before, but I have seen some great topics fall off the page. Scooter70 starting his LS1 motor and got a whole 8 replies in one day and fall. He did something that only a very few people have done and it got 8 replies. The same goes for the new guys needing help and the topic falls to quick. Time to change you old farts....

I agree C4,5,and 6 have a tech and performance section. How hard could it really be to give us one too? Does anyone know exactly why we can't have one?

It has been put out to vote about once a year and everytime splitting the C3 section has been voted down.

I think we should definitely split to a tech and general. Most general questions fall through the cracks, but someone who gets burned by a ricer has an everlasting post.

to hell with the vote. Its more important to do the right and logical thing.

SPLIT IT

I'm sick of wading through all the baloney to get to the good stuff. How much are we missing because some people are lonely and just want to shoot the shiet.

So you don't want to split the foum then right? Only having to go through one forum's post is more logical than going through multiple forum posts. Scan down the page and read what looks interesting and skip the rest. No sense going to multiple pages.

I belong to an f-body forum that has way more sub forums but I only go to one and pretty much skip the rest. That is what will happen here and instead off getting more responses you will get less.

JMHO.

I don't think we need to split the forum as much as just ask people to think before they post.

I want to keep the forum as it is, if we split it up it would just slowly wither out and die, because those small topics that are kind of fun but dont have much relation to the forum are what keeps this forum alive
