What's the sense in belonging to a forum if u can't ask a question? Thats what we are here for. The last thing I want is to be 16 or 40 for that matter and have my first truck with something wrong with it and be worried about what's wrong with it, and have some *****hole tell me to search it.. Gee thanks buddy!

I wasn't really referring to the search function or its lack of use, more towards the nonsense bickering between members. I agree about the search function not being used properly but also understand it doesn't always work. I think right now the first two pages have many duplicate topics, I just ignore the extra one in most cases.

I understand where your coming from, but in all honesty this isn't the first thread on this exact topic.. and just like the rest it will disappear in a few days. I'm with you I would like it to stop, but this is just a part of forums that you will have to deal with

clarify?
Like back in school when an argument started and the teachers stop it, you'd say meet me by the flag pole after school to finish what u started if your reading through a post and want to argue use this thread to do it not the posters thread. Probably will never happen, just kinda throwing it out there to bring attention to the issue.

I think it's a good idea as long as the moderators are fine with people going at each others throats on this thread but I could see quite a few problems arise out of this but worth a shot I guess

Yeah I don't really mean for people to lash out and scream at each other, more for differences of opinions calmly talking it out

Some of the arguments are legitimate debates that can even be interesting but still have nothing to do with the op's question.

Top 5 questions that should never be asked
1. Whats the gotts mod
2. What exhaust
3. How to get better mpg
4.how to get more power
5. Post up your____

All those questions have been answered a million billion times.
Wait, what's Gotts Mod? Can you show me how to do it????

Hahaha I understand getting those kinds of posts every once in a while but not 3 every frickin day! I don't post as often as other guys but it still bugs the hell outta me because I'm on all the time.

I like this flag pole idea. I hope it catches on! Either that or we could get a huge company like K&N or Nitto or even Ford to sponsor our website and purchase everyone a plane ticket every time there's a disagreement. Then people could actually meet up and duke it out. We could have a full time camera man to video tape every fight and an analyst to rank people. The higher you're ranked the less people will argue with you!

Just spit balling ideas
