None of these are 'easter eggs' or hidden features.

Seriously? This "curated content" is pretty pathetic. Has the forum changed hands? This reeks of a large scale corporate entity. Another forum I frequent was bought by Active Interest Media and they are in the process of converting it to something completely different. (think snowflake)

Hope that won't happen here. In between the silliness, there is a lot of good technical content here.

It was bought out by Internet Brands a few years ago:

They own a TON of [automotive] forum brands:

Internet Brands is owned by KKR:

And KKR has a HUGE portfolio of its own:

They're also listed on the NYSE:

The photo used for #3 isn't even an S2000. (Right engine, wrong chassis)

Stop, you're making it worse!

Maybe your intentions are good, but you keep missing the mark, and pissing everyone off.

The content is useless. The 'top 10' bulleted format would appeal to only the most superficial of low attention span Neanderthals.

The content is too trivial to be useful to forum members. It could potentially be of passing interest to those that know nothing about the car, but the details are either misleading, incomplete, or outright wrong. Plus is that really the target audience?

What is the point?!!!!

The old site, with its poignant, engaging, well written articles, either technical, personal, just telling a good story, but always S2k themed, were glorious. This least common denominator bulleted content is sickening.

Please. Make. It. Stop.

I actually wish you would write an article, if possible, lol.
Completely serious, I've seen quite a few of your posts that I found extremely informative with my five years being on the boards.

Elect yourself,
