New Sheriff in DIY Town!
The DIY Forum area has been excessively used and abused. After many, many, many hours of moving non-DIY threads I am still only 2/3 of the way through all of the pages here.
On many pages 2/3 - 3/4 of the threads are not DIY threads. This is how bad the situation has become. Those days have now come to an end.
The #1 Rule of the RX8Club DIY Forum is:
What does this mean for the DIY Forum area?
No "I want to have a discussion" threads.
No "I have a question" threads.
No "I have a DIY request" threads.
No "Help me" threads.
No "I need directions" threads.
Without exception, only DIY threads with directions will be permitted in this forum area. Without exception, everything else gets the boot.
Mistakes will be made and everyone will be treated fairly and with respect as long as they do the same. Repeat offenders will be strongly encouraged to mend their ways.
Once all the moving is completed and the redirects expire you will see a smaller, more refined, and DIY specific forum. We would appreciate your cooperation and assistance in helping make the DIY Forum area an effective resource tool for the benefit of everyone here on RX8Club.
Thank you.

Sorting through all the threads and moving out non-DIY content is now complete. Most of the redirects for moved threads will fall off within a week.
Once this happens I estimate that this area will drop from just over 1000 current threads (23.5 pages) to about 360 threads (8 pages).
