I vote we let you go. Dom deserves our repect as does Ray, and a few others. Assumimg you'd have to look up who Ray even was, or his contributions, I believe threads regarding his all-to-soon passing went on for close to a year. In fact, it's hard to believe but I think it's coming up on the 4th anniversary this december.
RIP "OF" & Dom

There was one in Zetec forums, for replacing the timing belt showed tons of photos, detailed instructions, that thread is long gone. If someone asks about repalcing it, someone always says "search" how about it be made sticky so they dont ask about it?
I know there are many more that people have created How Tos that were really nice but they to are gone and you have to search to find it, it seems once a week I have to repost mine for flushing p/s fluid.
When , and if the site administrators decide a How To should be formalized, it will be. It will also be formatted and placed in the How To section of this website. Until such time, the search feature works extremely well, it's fast and easy. For all but the most immuture or ignorant that is.

I think one How To this site needs is a How To Ignore Hitman's Incessant Cries for Attention.

Agreed. He's gone so far as to offer everyone free service manuals or whatever it is that he wants to send to everyone. Do you not have anything better than to do but cause mayhem in an automotive forum? Honestly, nobody wants to hear anything from you HitmaninMI. Face it, you have no purpose.

cool blue mystique, jared, and some others come to mind after reading this post
its sad that things like this happen, this is a wonderful comunity that has alot of knowledge.
not to say that I am really old, I'm 23, but younger members need to take the wax out of their ears and listen to older people, just about nothing anymore is new, this means its all been done before, so listen to the people who have already gone through it and learn from them
people really just need to learn not to post unless you are certain about something, alot of this flaming seems to happen because some one is so self absorbed that they can't take a minute to concider another view point and see if maybe that is a better view
don't force your views on others, that just pisses people off, everyone will beleive what they want and don't need others pushing things on them
so people should grow up and not bring this community down to a lower standard

I'm gonna have to agree w/ Trapps on this one. HITMAN, I have defended you to the other mods & admins in the past (and they will back me up as doing so if you don't believe me) and I'll probably continue to do so in most cases because I think you are an introverted teenager who lives vicariously through internet car communities and has trouble interacting with people in the real world on a personal level. That being said, I think you are way out of line with your comments in saying that the RIP thread should be taken down. Dom was friends with many of us on here and your comments have struck a nerve with me.

Well, the obvious problems regarding these "solutions" you offer are,
Stickying every "important" thread will only lead to a front page filled up with stickies
Not to mention people like to reply to the how-to threads and cause a bunch of clutter.
Trapps is right, how to's will be organised and put in the how to section when possible.
This isn't a commercial website...nobody is paid for the work they do. All the mods have jobs and, believe it or not, lives they need to tend to first. If you can't handle that, tough titty.
Nobody is letting this site go to "crap." This site, is THE most organised, and patrolled car website I have EVER seen. Take a look around homeboy, and tell me different.
It's people like you who give young people on this site a bad rep. I've been hanging around here since I was 18-19 years old...coming up on 4 years now actually. Yeah, i've had a few brushes with authority here and there, but not to the extent of yourself and others thathave come here. One thing you need to realise is, this isn't a democracy - This is lance's site. What he and the people he entrusts to moderate this site GOES. End of discussion.
And as far as the Airknight thread...man just zip it. Does is really kill you to have it stickied?? Even if you didn't know him, have some damn respect! Regardless of who likes him and who doesn't, he was a good kid and his death was a tragic loss to this community. Even with Ray, I didn't know him at all, in fact, he passed right after I signed up here ( I remember reading the thread...a family member posted IIRC). But, i've read alot of what he posted here and learned alot from it, and I know what he did for everyone here. To speak like that of him would certainly get you banned.
you tread on thin ice here already, I think you should learn to keep your mouth shut...
