By having to ask questions of the rest of the newbies in the newbie forum until the magic number is reached? What if I want to know more about a particular bar grinding set-up? Which newbie is going to help me with that?

    BTW, what oil should I use?

    In a round-about way is that the same as saying "I'm not worthy of asking a question"? Or "I don't rate an answer"? Ever thought you may be my neighbor or a close friend?

    If it looks "stupid" don't click it.



    And don't forget - there's a fair chance you were "stupid" once.

    GASoline71 & Kin, obviously the thread has validity and obviously many would like to see it split. I let it sit for days with one response in the other section. It already has 30+ responses here, so you tell me if linking it here was the right thing to do? Is it you I should have asked for approval to post first or is that somebody else?

    Sparklies and little cubes obviously don't make the man. But what do I know...

    I like this place just the way it is for the most part. im thinking there should have a know it all forum for some around here though. I dont think there should be a newbie form because it would be like treating grown people like there babies. I think there should be less threads on do ya dropstart your saw or not and people cring about wearing chaps. There are some real good people on hear and some people that wouldnt pass the bs meter. these people bother me more than the newbies questions.

    Many forums are setup this way, and I think it would just help keep some of the clutter down. It's not going to happen, but if it did I'd answer as many legitimate questions as I could.

    Saw issues or problems don't descriminate by size. Neither does the many ways to address those problems. 90cc or 35cc most resoulutions are common to all saws. I do think we need less off topic posts for example;
    beer, babes automobiles and other nonsense. Don't get me wrong I love them all but in the right place and time.

    Kup, which section would muffler mod questions go in? What about 2 stroke theory, or bar oil, or plug problems, or 2 stroke mix ratios, or chain filing, or bar choices, or cleaning plastic, or removing sap, or dawg size, or file choice, or chain discussions, or cookie cutting, or making curly fries, or saw cases, or ways to carry your saw on your vehicle, what about carb tuning or replacing a venturi and probably another thousand things...........do you propose all those to get broken down into cc size for posting? Then what happens when you do a search, will the search function be split by cc's, what happens if people post in the wrong cc forum?

    I don't think splitting by cc's is workable, practical or even smart. I hear you on the clutter, but I think you should endeavor to persevere a little more rather than worry about changing it. I think ultimately you would end up with more to read with that split, and I think the overwhelming majority would be reading both anyway. Just my .02 but I do see your point. If everybody made a point to police up the OT stuff it would be much less cluttered.
    But don't hold your breath waiting on that!

    It might sound like a good idea, but if you're a moderator it's a different story. As much traffic as the this site has it's gotta be a pain to check all the threads we already have. I don't see it happening and if you was a moderator you wouldn't want it either. You have to remember all we do is come here to post and if something is not interesting to us we don't read it and move on.

    But as a moderator you have to go through EVERY thread and post regardless if you like it.. Just don't see it happening.

    Posted this in you other thread

    Nahhhh, the forums already split enough. One or the other place would wind up never being read and people would just talk about whatever they wanted to anyway.

    If you don't believe me just check out the hotsaws section. (yeah we have one of those )


    Now theres a suggestion..... just shut down the hotsaws section, nobody really reading it anyway and the few good topics that are there are only seen by the few who try to keep up there. Just incorporate it back into the chainsaw forum, thats where everybody already talks about those topics anyway.... why waste the space and everything scattered out???
    .

    Darwinism..... thinning the herd for over a million years.
    Just because you can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done.

    In need of a Dolmar 166 muffler... shoot me a PM if you can help.
