I used to wonder why it seemed like the forum is less active than it used to be but it has a lot do with the fact that a lot of new people are treated like shit and never come back. You can't even ask a question without everyone crying at you to search posts from years ago that may or may not have had a resolution. If you know the answer why can't you just politely say it or explain your preference and move on?

What is the fucking point of any thread? This is no worse than the "what car should I buy" or "I want to RB my car on a budget of $500 what do I need" threads. Where do you have states showing the forum is less active? I don't think it has declined at all in fact it may actually be climbing. Go back through the user history and you will find thousands of guys who came, made a post or two and disappeared without ever having a hassle.
As far as questions go how many times should the question "what size tires will fit" need to be answered when all that info is there for anybody to read. These questions can best be answered by pointing the person in the right direction (I agree the whole search noob thing is wrong) but does not mean you need to spoon feed them or hold their hand through the whole thing. There are also the guys that ask questions here as if they are speaking to a machine without so much as a thanks when the answer is given.
Then there are the guys that ask something and then argue every answer. Why the hell did you ask? Some of the new guys come on with some sort of chip on their shoulder and want nothing more than to argue the point anyway.
My point is that the question and response thing works both ways not just for the asker. Ask a well thought out question in a reasonable manner that is what should be expected in reply. Ask an open ended and ambiguous question and then get aggressive and pissed off because you don't like the answers will receive a poor result. As some dumb shit question then totally expect people to answer in a dumb shit manner.
