In regards to the this threads title. I ask myself the same question. IMO, I wish it would be locked down and just a source to pull info from. Keep the sale and technical sections open for new guys to pull from.
I believe it was the thread on shitting that I knew this place was taking a dump. No pun untended, actually.
I left the US for a couple trips with no time to log in. Come back and see the same 12 people talking in circles. No disrespect to those 12 people. I like them and most everyone else here. It just seems everyone has ran out of topics to discuss and are grasping at anything to keep this place alive.
