Sorry to sound like a ****, BUT, is there anyway we can arrange the forums for a more detailed info? i know i'm just lerning i just got here, but i have come from a few other boards, and you actually know where to put stuff.

I have problems from 4 different departments (suspension, audio, performance, body), but i don't have a clue if my posts will be read or not, or if i put it in in the right forum.

What i know so far is that this is a shared board, and some general stuff should be in the root.

i have so many points (IMO) that i want to share, just one thing, please don't flame me for speaking my mind.

Can we group all the Engine oriented Q's or comments or whatever in to 1 forum. and in that forum with the posts we can arrange if it's a KA, SR, CA Questions.

Can we add a suspension and all related ONLY forum, since our cars "excel" in that department.

and so on and so on, depending on the interest of this on the moderators, and people i will post some more ideas, but again please take it as a comment and IMO only.

ThanksMore detailed board? (Your opinion)

This is diversified from the way the forums were before. People already feel this is divided enough. We unfortunately do not have thousands of members with which to populate each subdivision. A lot of people won't read your question in a suspension only forum, but they will in the general chat area. If there is a big demand for more division though, it can be arranged....

SO right now since the board is just starting everything is in one forum only(or a few). But when is the appropiate time to divide everything in it's place, when you don't see your post in the 1st page in a day? or 2 days? do you understand?.

The reasoning i used is there are some people that know a lot of something in particuler because of there backgroud (for instance a person that does auto-x events, will know a lot of something in particular, then a person that works on daily maintenance, or body or sound.) and it's a hassle and sometime we don't feel like browsing the entire page or even first pages just to see whats up, and some questions remain in the dark. a guru will emerge is what i think in every category.

and sorry for my english..but is not my first lenguage and i'm trying my best to explain my self.

BTW, how can i contact you about purchasing the sylvia front clips that you will have in a month or so...

No, I understand what you mean, however, posts are up for several days. There isn't a high enough post count to move things to the back of the list. At this point, all it will do is cause even less people to even take the time to glance at the post. Before we can divide, we need more people. I understand that some people have strong points, but I would think that if they want to share their knowledge they'd take the time to glance at the page, its not that big. Instead, if we divide everything, people have less desire to go read about other areas, as its not exactly the fastest loading site for everyone. I know a lot of people on dial-up who browse here and switching sub-section after sub-section is annoying enough for me, and I have high speed internet, much less someone who has to wait a while for things to load.

Would NOW be a good time to be more detailed i'm getting sick of hearing the sentence "best bang for the buck" and stuff like that.

General and Technical IMO are not very detailed on what to post and not to.
