Be damned the good of the majority, I want what I want or I'm going to whine and snivel about it until I get it. Nevermind that I have a life and a job, what you have to say is so burningly important that I should stand ready 24/7 to explain why it's not getting the attention it deserves.

There are half a dozen members that think there should only be one forum and 750 others that either don't or don't care. I have to consider the overall operation of the site, manage its growth and account for the needs of all the membership. You don't. I all I ask is a little cooperation in putting things where they go so the site is useful, fun and informative for all. Instead I have a handful of members that insist that they will do what the bloody well feel like and then have a hissy fit when someone comes along and cleans up.

Just my $0.02

Cthree,

I don't see one post in here bitching about the multiple forums. What some of us have a problem with is the moving of posts which are clearly on topic. For instance, YOU started a thread about a different rear bumper for the S2K with a picture of a blue S2K. Why would that be considered off topic? Yet it was moved. If that is off topic please post the criteria that is being used.
You also mention that there are a few of us that are bitching and the majority is fine with it. That's a bad thing for you to think. You haven't done any polls and there is a saying about assuming that I'm sure you've heard. Anyways just because people aren't voicing their opinion doesn't mean they're ok with the status quo. I've seen quite a few people on these threads related to this topic going "yeah, why are all the threads being moved" so obviously there are more than just a few people wondering about the arbitrary decision making that is being used in the moving of posts.
Lastly, I think you're taking this a little too personally. Noone has taken any pot shots at you but you've taken some at others (ie, "bite me"). Many of us are just wondering why on topic posts keep getting moved and asking for a review of the criteria and a consistent application of that criteria. I think that's valid. I apologize if you consider it a personal attack of some kind. I certainly have not intended any of my posts to sound that way.

Ditto.

I will gladly post in the Off Topic Forum anytime I actually have something OFF TOPIC to say.

According to your own definitions I posted where I should have. Define your terms sir or stop crying about people not knowing WHERE to post.

And as far as not being informational and/or just being opinion, I notice anytime someone has an "opinion" about how his new ABCXYZ Header feels like it is faster by his seat of the pants dyno that they always get to stay.

Of course that helps sell product for your sponsors and those opinions are fine.

This is the reason cthree gave me for moving my post.
