Thanks to the mod who keeps moving my threads!
Previous experience shows me that when I post questions on my truck in the 4x4 section I get 1 or 2 responses. NOT MANY MEMBERS GO TO THE 4x4 SECTION...PERIOD! So happy holidays to you and thanks for aggravating me! And, I'm a site supporter your doing this to...someone who gave money to your site and you're inhibiting me from gathering the information I seek!

Easy now, it happens to all of us supporting members. Trust me, the 4x4 guys know their stuff if it's 4x4 related. Trevor

As you have noticed...some areas will get a lot more traffic flow than others. Hope this explains why it is done and thanks for understanding.

Re: Thanks to the mod who keeps moving my threads!
The whole point of the different sections is to keep things more organized and it takes everyone's help to make it work.
But is it really the quantity of responses that you really need? The actual volume is irrelevant if you get one that is 100% correct. Yes, the specialized boards are a bit slower, but accuracy counts, and your question can get missed on the faster moving "year specific" areas. It is nothing personal, it happens to everybody.

Re: Thanks to the mod who keeps moving my threads!
I believe that his complaint is that he doesn't get answers or many answers when he posts the question in the 4x section or it gets moved to the 4x section. I for one seldom venture there unless I just happen to see something out on the index page that catches my attention.
For 4x4 only questions that relate to the front axle, suspension or transfer case I can see keeping them regulated to the proper section but for general truck questions people may get more and better answers by posting here. As a side note: It gets tiresome to see off the wall trying to be cute posts on threads where someone is trying to get a serious question answered. I see this too often along with a couple of posters who obviously have no clue what the question or answer is but feel that they have to post something anyhow. We make a serious effort to help each other solve issues on our trucks here and it is not helping the person to post nonsense on one of those threads. |

Re: Thanks to the mod who keeps moving my threads!
I moved your thread.. It was related to a 4x4 topic so it should have gone to 4x4. I have watched this for years and the 4x4 area has grown. Very few, if any, questions go unanswered over there.

Re: Thanks to the mod who keeps moving my threads!
Listen I'm surely not trying to make waves! But in the future if I post a question and it's 4x4 related I just want lots of opinions and answers so then I can rationalize what the correct answer is for my application. There's a much smaller following for 4x4s, and it might take me a couple days to get an answer there, whereas I'll post on the regular forum and have 8 answers in 2 hours. I'm sure you guys understand where I'm going with this. Also, now my build thread is in the 4x4 section. Again, if I wanted it there I would've put it there, but members that don't have a 4x4 won't bother going there. The reason why, it gets more exposure on the regular forum and with-in 24 hours of posting 2 different members told me that I was mistaken and the trasmission I have was really a sm465. I will never make extra threads for no reason or waste anyones time so I would really appreciate not moving my threads! No hard feelings, I love it here...and MERRY CHRISTMAS FELLAS!!!

As for Pats concerns, I completely understand his frustration. More Traffic = more exposure = quicker answers. I may be a newbie here but I am not new to car/boat related forums. This one is by far the most policed of any of them. It's just a truck board. Loosen up a little and Merry Christmas. EDIT: Just saw stueber68's Merry Christmas thread was moved to GD. Come On, Really????

Re: Thanks to the mod who keeps moving my threads!
I would like to say "Merry Christmas" also.
The only part of the forum I visit is this part, well maybe the for sale part now and then. This part of the forum to me is more like a bunch of friends getting together talking about their old trucks and comparing notes on how to work on them. I guess if I had anything specific I would go to the other parts of the forum, so the other parts are good. Darn! I am starting to ramble. Danny

Re: Thanks to the mod who keeps moving my threads!
This should be a primary consideration for Every member every time. Posts that are titled as something "too short" or "with no meaning" are frustrating to those who are surfing around looking to help. It may be fine inthe general discussion area when posting "fun" stuff, but when you are looking for an answer to a problem, be as specific as you can in one short line.
