LOL WTF did I miss while I was away?

when did you ever start?Ever noticed I don't post very much tech or info in here anymore?......
Instead of bitching, let's brainstorm. Any ideas on how to get things rolling in the right direction? How about a "Topic of the Month" type deal, where every month we feature a sticky on a specific area of detailing and have everyone share their product experiences and stuff? There is so much information out there, maybe condensing it to one thread will help people find new products to try or share knowledge with those who are just learning the art.
my suggestion was to let the topics maintain a fluid form. instead of a thread being stuck on a single topic "hey my headlight doesnt work" then it dying once the problem is solved, the moderators allow the members to blabble, if they so choose.
this was struck down. the powers at be wanted to keep tech topics tech and lounge topics lounge, no deviation; with an iron fist.
now no one posts...
hell, they probably post but its in the wrong thread so it gets deleted. LOL.
the problem isnt really the site, its the subject... how much can we talk about S281 spoilers and a 1998 roush's 14 second quarter mile???
if you do a search, every question ever thought of has been answered on our cars. most of this info is on our forum. so... a simple point-and-click gets most of the information people need, no need to post.
If they dont search, they just ask the same questions. a prime example is in the 5.0 section now. "gas tank leaking" 99% of the members here knew it was the filler tube grommet before opening the thread. why post? why open the thread? when the regulars see a thread like this, if they do post, it normally consists of "do a search"
THEN, we get into banter. obviously the tech support side of the site is pretty well handled by the search button, so all we can talk about is random stuff... but we cant do that in tech threads, so that leaves just the lounge threads taht are readily getting used....
am i saying the sites bad? no.
the moderators are bad? no.
the cars are bad? no.
the users are bad? no.
its jsut the nature of the beast.
my suggestions:
put more user-oriented stuff on the site.
I.E: what are your favorite wheels on an SN95? whats your dream mustang? whats your favorite football team?

we used to have a ROTM (although voting was always a cry baby fest)
we used to have ...
