Pigeon holing the general forum to death...great way to make people loose interest due to overly having to search for anything interesting....oh just the same sad old general stupid posts as yesterday.  Gee i thought maybe people would be interested in upgrades for thier interior in a general forum, guess though it just had to go to the die in obscurity area. |
Believe it or not, on average the threads that are properly sorted tend to get more responses, the quality of discussion is usually better, and the chances of making a re-post goes down dramatically. This is because 5th gen general frequently has about 1 page worth of new threads each day, then another page or so of older threads that continue to be active. So a relatively new thread can be pushed back to the third page in as little as 1 day. After 2 or 3 days it can be buried several pages deep. Most people who aren't on everyday don't go back that far to look at a topic. In contrast, a thread moved to a slower area can stay on the first page of threads for a week or more. Plus, those that see it are definitely interested in that general topic (be it lighting, or forced induction, or 3rd gens, or whatever) and are going to be far more likely to comment on it than someone just browsing 5th Gen General. They bring more knowledge and/or curiosity, either of which will breed a better discussion.
With regard to re-posts, we have had numerous threads started by people asking the very same question as you did. If you had looked in the proper section, you would have seen that this concern has been addressed multiple times. Instead, you have wasted your own time & increased your own frustration by creating a new thread in the wrong forum on a topic that has been beaten to death. If you are unaware of the various sub-sections of the site I wrote a guide a year or so ago (it may need a little updating though). Here is the link:
