Most of you will notice that all threads that previously had a prefix are now lumped in as "progress" threads.
It's no big deal really, but if you want to have your thread reclassified as a "build" thread all you need to do is let me know here.
**I'll put my flak jacket on now**
To me, a build thread involves more than just bolting something on. If there is part swapping, rewiring, cutting, welding and grinding involved, then that makes it technically a build thread with one exception. That exception being who is doing the work. If you are the one doing all the swapping, rewiring, cutting, welding and grinding, then to me, that definitely makes it a build thread. If on the other hand, all you are doing is taking pictures of somebody else doing the building, you have a bonafide progress thread.
My criteria for labeling the two all boils down to what can somebody learn, and how can they benefit from the content posted.
Simply put, if you pay to have your car painted by a shop, there is little to learn by looking at pictures of it. (That's not to say you shouldn't post pics of it, you definitely should). If on the other hand, you are the one doing the painting, then typically, the content of that thread is full of "this is how I did it", and conversely, there is a lot to be gained from that.
You'll see random thread prefix change overs as I get to looking at them, and if you want your thread prefix changed you just need to let me know.
Thanks.
