unfortunately this one will probably get locked.....

if you have a question like this "instant message" a moderator......

also, a lot of threads get locked because of useless dribble, and most topics have been discussed before......

- FS threads get locked...
- picture threads get locked unless they have technical info on it
- random threads get locked unless there is technical information being talked about.
- threads that are like "hey check this out" will get locked
- threads that are like "how much power should i get with yada yada and yada yada" will get locked

these types of thread get locked becuase if they don't everyone and their mother will start a new thread asking how much power should i get with yada yada exhaust and yada yada intake, where a simple search will pull up at least 5 threads related to it that you can post in and bring back to life....

Every forum on HT has rules. Those rules must be followed. Now if you decide not to follow the rules, there a few things that can happen:

1. Mods are lazy/not around and your thread eventually goes away
2. You get flamed by other forum members
3. Mods see and delete your post (most like to happen along with some flaming)
4. Mods delete your post and deduct % points

Now if you only followed the rules, then I wouldn't have to explain this stuff to you.

Threads get locked for overall content. Theirs alot of crap that gets said on here, or alot of repeat information. We dont need 5 new "what exhaust is best" threads in a week.

IBTL as well.

If you want mindless dribble: goto S2Ki.com
If you want relevant answers to technical questions: goto S2Ki.com
If you want a like-minded community: goto S2Ki.com
If you want your off-topic thread to get locked: post here.

Just way the cookie crumbles.

I had to read it twice before I realized what "IBTL" meant.
