Default Useless Threads

This forum is full of them yet the only one that gets closed is one of the more important ones. I'm not one to pick fights usually. Especially not with mods, but closing this thread(even though there's a related sticky) is just irresponsible. Especially to new members that quite possibly haven't heard about the KY Turbo shenanigans. Not everyone sees the stickies. I myself skip over them on any/every forum I am on so a fresh thread on a thief is welcomed.

All the people asking repeat questions about "what size wastegate", "will x turbo work",or "what size injectors do I need" get to stay up. Why not this one... this applies to both this page and boosted lsx on Facebook. So much repeated crap to weed through yet you get two threads on the same topic and suddenly the page is cluttered. Just my .02.

Can't say I'm surprised. Yes, I could see that shop being a sponsor here regardless of the past reputation. Obviously one of the moderators isn't in that choir... lol

I agree 1000%, I have been on here for a while and dislike when threads get shut down due to customer experience. On camaro5 they kicked people off the board for saying anything bad about Jennetty Racing in CT. It was a pretty bad scene.

One of these should do the trick.


Feel free to ask this again in a new thread once every week and be sure to bump them all at the same time. This should get you a more prompt response as opposed to using the search feature.

That's the good thing about YB, nothing gets deleted! You warn someone about a business and it will be 10 pages long in 2 hours.

I just created an account over on the bullet. Definitely an entirely different forum. I do like how they handle business over there. Have yet to make a post though cause they can get pretty rowdy on the newbies..
