I also noticed someone edited the title with Performance Factories' name. Neither thread was a "shop" thread as I posted them entirely on my own........

you were suppose to post it in the intake exhaust forums maybe
since it was about an exhaust not your FI setup...
otherwise thats part of the new rule...1 thread per car unless you change like turbokits or do somethign completly different

I don't really mind scrolling down real quick in the FI forum, but having 8-10 stickies is a bit much it seems - looks cluttered or busy

Post Guideline no. 1 explains it all
1. Only one thread per car. I.E. if your motor blows, and it goes to a different shop you still use that thread. Please contact a moderator if you would like your thread title changed.
thanks for reading
p.s. you werent the only thread kyle and I merged

Wow! I missed the change.
I usually dont pay much attention, and scoll down to the main Forum page.
I will have to agree, that the sub forum will probably not get as much attention. I am on here everyday and missed the change.

I dislike the subforums. All of the vendors names in the titles looks more like an advertising forum than what this forum is all about--->THE PEOPLE'S rides. If they then choose to praise the shop in the post that is cool. Also my original thread on my rebuild has over 20,000 views and XX pages long. The one thread per car rule is not smart. If I do another round of upgrades and want to start a new thread I cant?

you would just need to edit the post title and the first post

maybe FI should be a Sub Forum with no posting
so under Forced Induction you have
General Information
Shop Builds
FI FAQ
Production Information
that way anyone who clicks on Forced Induction has no choice but to choose one of the 4 .. so you won't get lost in the general area and not click the Shop Builds Forum

that is exactly what i was saying to sharif on the phone today.
thats perfect, so no threads under FI just 4 subforums so it will get hit equally.

Or... How about a compromise???
Bring the subsections closer to the general threads (right above them like the stickies used to be) and put all the stickies in FAQ? That way, somebody would have to be a totally blind moron to miss the subsections. Just a thought.
