- I don't like what the suspension forum is called.. I find my self overlooking it to many times. Also I dont think it should be in the performance section. Yes granted doing suspension mods may help increase the performance of your car, but 9 times out of 10 people don't look at it that way, and for picking rims, they go for looks. I think it should be named a bit more formal and moved to the style section.
- On the forced induction title, you should add something about nitrous. Usually Forced induction and nitrous are talked about in the same topic
- The first select topics on the forum index look like they were just thrown there. Maybe making a seperate section that should be on the top with- forum announcements, feedback center, test center, and noob welcome. The rest shop be placed respectively else where.
- The rice section.... I don't think its a good idea at all. You want to promote good stuff about this site, not anything that can be used as a derogative. You don't want to show an impression that we show hate towards other car tuners even though they arent on the same level as us. It shows immaturity and lack of self respect.
Ok sorry to ramble.. just trying to help. Thanks!!

you make some good points that jonny b and the rokster should consider. as for the rice section i think people who do those things to their car really want any attention they can get, so i have no sympathy for them and a lot of the looks they end up with are are funny as hell. i say keep that forum.
Yes it a great section, don't get me wrong.. But it doesn't promote good focus owner judgement. Makes us look like honda owners who have no respect for anybody.

True true, but how about just changing that section then 2 Disaster Picture Gallery??
I love looking at Rice Pics, gives me good ideas 4 cooking. LOL J/K
Well then how about just changing the name and then u can up other disaster pictures as well, like the next door neighbor's butt or the pumbler's butt?? LOL
I like the forum on rice, it's entertaining and good for a laugh. Changing the name of it is a good idea but removing the forum all together is a bad one.
____________________ Honda's are like assholes, everyone has one.
It can always be combined with the picture gallery. This way people are free to post any pictures they like (excluding porn) and the actually site can remain impartial. I myself have always thought the same thing about the rice section. Never cared for it having it's own portion of the forums. Nor would I care to come across a site one day only to find a picture of my car in there and people laughing at me. But you have to please the members and it does get used to regularly to do away with it completely.

The Dark Side....nice Rick...makes it sounds like we are bunch of Star Wars nerds I'm just kidding, I kind of like that...either way, I think this is a silly precaution...if someone gets pissed because we called there car rice, I think thats dumb, if you can't be confident in your car...then why in the hell did you do it anyways...it's called PC...PC is stupid...Don't teach PC, teach tolerance.
Hey Maxx is right, combine with pic galley and then hey Maxx post some MAN BOOBIES (u know what I mean) LOL. J/K And trust me I bet our cars will never be seen in any rice section.

1. I think the Suspension forum could be changed/incorporated into the Exterior forum, as far as rims and crap.
2. On the old board, I did include N20 in the forum description, it was just overlooked when putting the new board together. No biggy, and Roke already took care of it
3. I have been wanting to make the Section for the first several forums "Team Focus", and moving General Information down to the 2nd spot which would include the Group Buys, How-To and Safety and Recalls forums. It'll be done.
4. As far as the Rice section goes, I really dont give a damn what someone says about my car, its not alive, its metal and fabric and other inanimate things. But I DO realize that some people get very emotional when someone posts a pic of their car and has some sarcastic remark with it. It's a 2 way street. So the only REAL way to deal with this, is to let the members of TF vote on it. If they want it, it stays. BUT, I would not have a problem at all with renaming it, or, just merging it with the Picture Gallery. But to all of a sudden not allow our members to post a pic of "rice", because somene might pout, well, hey, maybe people will soon realize using construx to build wings on cars that only hit 110mph is absolutely asinine. Silly. I personally think its for their own good, but thats just me.
We'll have to post a poll about the Rice forum, and see what TF says.
I will get to work on everything ASAP. I have a fishing trip tonight, and I'll be on Plum Island till late. See you all later, and thanks for ideas, objections and opinions
well...i didn't mean that the section might hurt someones feelings and that's why it should go. It's more of a matter of showing NO animosity towards other car tuners. I don't care what pictures people post either, but it should at least say that we (as a group) hold no ill will towards any type or style of car. Or if it's part of another section, the picture gallery in particular, it becomes more general. It removes Team Focus as a group and places the responsibly on the particular member that wants to post a picture they find funny.
I don't think we should merge all the picture forms. Mainly because sometimes you just want to see what other foci are looking like. You don't want to have to weed though tons of non focus related images to find them.

Oops, I am also writin down some stuff for the Hooking It up and Exterior forums. I also think it would be a good idea to rework those. I'll get to it...
