Perhaps we can create a shortcut/link in the OT, for those of you that don't browse any other place.
Would you like that?





No actually it was our idea, and last time I checked none of us worked for IB.

What don't you like exactly? I'm curious.
Do you feel the same about all the other non Porsche subforums?
Because you have 300 posts in the Fire^rms and Accessories one..

Unless I want to learn something about another marque I'd likely never go there. I'll likely go to the marque specific forum. The reason I like OT's opinion is that we have Porsche sensibilities and opinion/advice will likely be along those lines.

All this sub forum seems to me is like a bunch of accountants and engineers got together and thought this made sense. Here's the good news, most don't think like that. Besides, I don't think there are so many queries along these lines that it clogs up OT. The only thing clogging up OT is Greg's (one of twenty) inane threads as of late

I would agree that other car discussions are a large part of OT and Ot will be somewhat watered down(further) without them.

I guess if you want to raise the profile of the "other marques" section of the forum, then there are ways to do that as others have suggested, but right now it is forum Siberia.

This is a car forum, if we are in the 993 area talking about a Ford Taurus, you move it to off topic, now they get moved to this idiotic forum where no one will look.

As to my posting in the firearms section, we have to post there about it because someone decided it was way to far "off topic" for off topic. The discussions would be more involved if you all wouldn't make a forum for every damned subject.

Are you guys going to make another one for the "I'd hit it thread" or any post involving *****? Quit over thinking everything.

I bet there will soon be a moderator, to moderate the moderators, and a sub moderator to mod that too.
