We could ask the same question in another thread.

why not make a bunch of sticky threads and title them "exhaust questions" "wheel questions" "brake questions"
and everyones questions can get lost in there..


You know why i am pro-starting a new thread?

1: if you dont get on the forum often, you can look at what threads you have started, even handier when you post a lot of stuff, and you know what you have posted is about a subject, it is easier to find it if you started the topic compared to posted in a topic.

2: people have the same problem with people resurecting threads of days gone bye.

3: as a forum moderator you should be wanting more threads, more threads = busier forum which brings in more advertisers which means more MONEY!! (And saying that, I cant see any advertising...)

I have spent 13-15 years moderating car/car audio forums (take a look at Mobile Electronics Australia, there is 100's of threads that are similar)

Jumping into every thread and telling people to search makes the site seem more unfriendly..

And honestly, does it make much difference if someone starts a new thread? It's not the end of the world Just encourages new conversation, new info and newer members to post in them.

Anyway, ill shut up now.
