Reading these boards daily, I constantly see people complaining about all the "What Car" threads in General Gassing, so I was thinking - how about a subforum dedicated to helping people find their ideal car?

The way I see it:

  • All the threads would be in the same place, so they would not be scattered about General Gassing which in turn would make GG tidier and resolve the complaining.
  • People who wish to help with these threads, myself included, would only have one place to look.
  • It would also act as an archive to help other people after a few threads - you could try and encourage people to have their budget and main requirements in the thread title - rather than just "What car", you could have "£3k budget, Mondeo alternatives?" etc. People looking for a new car could skim through the subforum and see if there is already a thread with similar requirements.
Something for the PH towers to consider perhaps? smile

Such rumblings date back to the beginning of time:

A better alternative would be a script that deletes threads with "what car" in the title.

Both posts seem to be excellent ideas.

Maybe we should vote on it?
