There's a crapton of mustang trolls on the boards, and before the mega thread, you would think that the "other cars" section was the "MUSTANG ONLY" section. That shit was annoying. You'd have one guy post about EVO taking a 5.0 and running 10 something on nitrous, than you'd have a video of it posted in a new thread, then another one saying THE NEW MUSTANG ROCKS!!! and inside that thread it would say "It goes 10 seconds int he quarter on nitrous".

Then you'd have 6 other threads about how you like the styling more than the camaro. Do you really need 6 threads on that? I'm happy that there's a mega thread. If the mustang guys don't like it, they should learn to keep it organized. It's their own little slice of the heaven we call Camaro5. Stop bickering back and forth (that means you too camaro fanboys) and the mega thread would be a much better organized, well-informed thread to read.

There are a few mustang guys on here that are cool and aren't blind fanboys. It's all the other posters that just try to instigate shit that made it easy for the mods to just lump everything together because every thread was infested by trolls. I don't see anything wrong with what they did. I bet if we can police ourselves and report all the troll posts, keeping the threads clean and strictly informational, and not making duplicate threads, the mega thread would be dissolved and we could have a few different threads for different mustang topics so we could find information about specific things easier. Until all the trolls are gone (which I doubt they will ever be), I don't see the mega thread going away.
Isn't it more effective to just get rid of the trolls, than trying to "control" them by creating a thread for them to play in? That's what's happened here. You can forget about trying to organize the mega thread zoo. It's beyond hope.

Again, I've never seen this kind of thing on other forums, so what's so different here?
