As a new member, I think it is pretty confusing. I'm only interested in anything Fox body, so I'm forced to read through "talk" being all thrown into the same box as other years. I will try this site for a while, but its not making good first impressions
Well you just met a new level of n00b. I will get familure with things here soon enough.
I have been on forums for years. I actually started out on BBS boards if any of you remember those. This forum is confusing. But it's not Noobz fault. I understand the reasoning for the layout. Having our beloved SN95's split between 5.0 and 4.6L cars really screws things up. On top of that, having the same 5.0L engine used in Fox Body and SN95 cars causes more problems. So coming up with a layout that works well would be a real pain in the butt.
My only suggestion would be to ignore the year of the car and concentrate on the body style, engine, drivetrain. So having a 5.0L Pushrod forum then sub-divide it for the various years, 4.6L modular forum, etc would be a lot easier to navigate. There could be suspension forums sub-divided by platform and options such as IRS or live axle. So my suggestion would be a layout such as...
MUSTANG FORUMS
POWER FORUMS
5.0L Pushrod Forum
79-93
94-95
4.6L Modular Forum
etc
etc
SUSOENSION
IRS
year range

its setup pretty well as is, especially for us that are already confused
My build does seem to have an identity crisis. It was a build, now it's progress.
RacEoHolic330, I moved it to talk, but that was before I became confused, and at the time I was convinced that all builds and progress threads should be there. Some are more tech. Some are more talk. I would personally prefer to lump them all in talk, but I do believe they should be lumped somewhere. Tech stuff ought to be about specific tech with titles that are clear about the tech therein. "Fuzzynuts' fun fox fabrication" as a title doesn't really give me a clue about a specific issue that I need help with. Plus some build threads, like my own, don't have much tech at all in them.
So, my position remains, throw 'em all in talk, but then again I have no idea about this "resource" stuff, yet.
