I see the reason for all the forums. Lets say we started a new site. We had a Fox Body, SN95, V6/4 cyl, and s197 forum. To handle all the random bull we add an Off-Topic forum. As the member base increases the Off-Topic forum gets so big posts disappear as fast as they are created. So it gets divided into sub-forums under each car type to keep like groups of people together.
Now comes the confusion. People assume that because there is a general talk sub-forum in the SN95 forum it is meant to be for people to talk about SN95 stuff. When in reality it isn't meant for anything other than general talk. So it really shouldn't matter who's in there. Fox guys, S197 guys, whatever. I think it would actually be better to have a main Off-Topic forum and have it sub-divided into categories such as politics, internet, funnies, etc. Away goes the confusion. Then people wanting to talk about SN95 specific stuff have only one place to go.
And I have been meaning to reply to everything 90lxwhite has stated but haven't had time to do so until now. I agree with you 110%. Yes, there is a search engine on this forum. Yes, it does good to use it - sometimes. But us old guys who have been around Mustangs our whole life should not cringe when someone asks "How much HP will this combo produce?". And I agree that it is kind of a good feeling to be able to spout off an answer because we've seen the same thing 100 times. So well put man.
I think it's great there are younger guys grabbing old Mustangs instead of a Honda. And it's even better they come here with questions. It means they want to learn. There are so many kids these days that have no motivation. No desire to better themselves in any way. So the ones that make it here - I commend them for their effort. We need to raise more kids like them!
