Default I'm here to help

Hi everyone! My name is David and I live near Salem, Oregon. I've been making DIY videos on my friend's C5 Corvette all year and a viewer suggested I share them here, so you'll be able to find them in the tech section now. I'm happy to be part of the forum and will chime in when appropriate but I don't own a Corvette, myself. Summer is almost over, so get out there and enjoy it!

Welcome and thanks for the videos. Maybe it’s time to think about your own C5…

Are you the one who spammed tech with like 30 videos the other day? While we all appreciate someone who wants to help, that was way over the top and buried a lot of other peoples' threads that were actively trying to get help.

Let’s dial this down a little. These are legitimate and well done how to videos, you know, to help people do things to their C5. They were posted to a specific group asking nothing in return, not selling products or services. Simply providing useful content for C5 repairs.

These are not mine and I didn’t post them. Granted, I too was a little surprised when he posted so many, but they filtered through quick enough, in fact they already have. We should welcome them to the forum as we do all new members.

There's nothing dialed up about my post, it is 100% factual. He occupied over half of the page, it was excessive.

Maybe we can get a whole new section for videos so other sections of the forum don't clogged up with them

Oh, it's crossed my mind. I've been in the same BMW for 15 years now and I know it isn't going to last forever. I do like the C5 more every time I get a chance to drive it.

Yep, sorry about that! I didn't realize I would be suppressing other posts like that. Was just trying to get it out of the way so I could get back to work. It was a mistake and won't happen again if you subscribe, share, and buy my merch (lol jk)

Does going for views for ad revenue count?

I hit 1,000 subscribers on YouTube last month after making these videos for the last 3 years. I have not yet earned one penny of ad revenue. Endless Money Pits is a collection of thousands of hours of my free time dedicated to helping others. I would love to support myself this way one day, but today is not the day.

I feel like this is a step in the right direction, maybe even do one for videos and another for writeups. Send a mass spam email to members so those who have posted this sort of content in the past can populate those new sections.

The OP gets the point about the number of threads. If you have suggestions on how to improve the way the forum operates, posting in an open thread is not the proper avenue for requesting consideration. Take it to PM to one of the moderators/administrators.
