Our Own Parts Section? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vtblazer · 11-13-2009, 07:44 AM

What do you guys think?

Would it be helpful to have a K5 specific parts for sale section?

If you think so, you can post your input here in site feedback:

I say yes, I know this issue has come up before and I am just happy to have this Board when I get the chance to get on. I know I have missed opportunities to buy parts where the posts quickly went to the 2nd or 3rd page because of the amount of posts that come on and I didn't have the time to go all the way through all the posts searching which is what I do every morning 1st page later if I get a chance search deeper

Another thing we could do is ask for permission to post for sale items (blazer specific) in the blazer /jimmy forum. This forum is not a fast mover like the trucks forum and would be alot easier to keep track of your for sale posts.Just an idea...

HuggerCST · 11-13-2009, 01:43 PM

I thought about that too, and personally, I like this idea better, but the problem is if one forum is allowed to do it, then the others will want the same priviledge, and it snowballs.

cvalcore · 11-13-2009, 03:37 PM

i think its a great idea it would make it a ton easyer to find blazer parts.

7d2k5 · 11-13-2009, 03:45 PM

i like the idea & by the way how do you get a pic by your profile?

Big J · 11-13-2009, 04:48 PM

Yep, great idea.

cvalcore · 11-14-2009, 08:01 AM

it would also be nice if we had a whats it worth and wont to buy for the blazers also. just a thought.

**bigdon-70blazer** · 11-14-2009, 09:21 AM

Great idea...

vtblazer · 11-17-2009, 08:32 AM

Bump from the bottom.

Just a guess but having only 13 people from the blazer/jimmy forum isn't going to get us our own parts board.

Remember, it's up to us.

**pound41** · 11-17-2009, 09:15 AM

Someone with a better memory than I will hopefully chime in. Several years ago we had the blazer section and parts ads were put in there. Then they upgraded and system and changed. This came up once before and people started Bitc--- And they locked everyone out of the Blazer Forum. Maybe thats why

I forget the 'exact' reason we got shut down but I do remember it happening, others may jump in with better memories than ours and fill us in.

Along with all the new changes came our new status as a 'sub-forum' to the truck section, given that placement, seems almost natural to also have a sub-forum for blazers/jimmies in the parts area too.

HuggerCST · 11-17-2009, 11:02 AM

My memory isn't the greatest either, but I think someone started complaining about not being able to do this and that in the blazer section, and running down the board and the way it was being handled. Several others joined in and so the whole blazer section was closed. NOT the way to get something that you want. VT is doing it the right way.(Thanks VT) Time will tell.

JimmyFloyd · 11-17-2009, 11:24 AM

I would be in for a blazer specific section. There are times when I am looking for specific parts, and I don't really want to troll through 3-4 pages in the parts section every day as i tend to miss stuff.

Critter · 11-17-2009, 11:28 AM

I put in my $0.02 over on the other thread. I think it is a great idea.

wnc mountain · 11-17-2009, 08:20 PM

I am for a separate parts thread. Being new to the blazer thing I'm learning to use the search function more. Would be much easier in a blazer parts forum or sub-forum.

Sacramento70 · 11-17-2009, 08:28 PM

count me in thats a great idea

**Ron 586** · 11-17-2009, 11:58 PM

I'm in.

**D.PASSMORE** · 11-18-2009, 10:06 AM

I agree...

Gibber1967 · 11-18-2009, 11:29 AM

I think it would be great to have a seperate Blazer section.

The current WTB and WIW sections see very little traffic. There would be no reason to have a seperate section for Blazers.

That is not a viable option. Adding a separate Blazer/Jimmy/Burb classified section is being considered due to the heavy traffic in the 67-72 Classifieds.

The reason the Blazer/Jimmy forum was locked was out of complete disrespect for the rules of the forum along with the Forum Staff when they attempted to enforce those rules.

A few members decided the Blazer/Jimmy section was their own private forum and they could run it as they saw fit. When a well respected Staff member insisted they follow the guidelines, they decided to stage a little rebellion. That resulted in a closed forum.

If you want the staff to consider changes, asking in a positive manner as you have done here gets the option considered. Taking matters in your own hands does not.
