I would be happy to help move, by whatever means, HIT REPORT BUTTON AND ENTER 915 perhaps or PM links...whatever.I second splitting up the "5T and up" section. The M809s have their unique issues and parts, as do the 939s, 915 series, HEMTTs, etc. I wouldn't ask the staff to filter through the piles of old posts to sort them into their appropriate places, instead have a thread in each of the new forums where the members can post links to old threads that have value.

Maybe I am wrong, but I have the feeling that the 809 and 39 series are very close while the 900 series is really different and much more modern beast (air brakes, automatic, etc). They 900 series are flooding the auctions now and the 5-ton forum as well. A lot of 5-ton questions are related to the 900 series and any new thread on the older 809 and 39 series are being snowed over with a day. For example, the first page of the 5-ton forum covering the last few days has only one thread about an 809, one about a HET and the rest is ALL 900 series. Owners of 809 or 39 trucks who are not daily on the site will miss most new threads unless they really spend a lot of time going through all the posts.See the problem with moving is that it can only be done by moderators. Hitting report button would just pile up new threads in the staff forum. I could perhaps grant a person control over the 5 ton section to move them.
I didn't want to splinter the forums any more than they already were. But the HEMTT/PLS/HET's really have no place in the 5 ton section. I could see where there should be another area for that. Then when it comes to the M915/916/920's, they're kind of a odd duck. I would not break up the M939/809/39 series trucks since so many parts are shared among them.
While there are some good threads and Info in our current politics forum, it is little more than a joke. A political forum where people can't express their feelings and opinions, whether fact or not, is a sham. If you give people a specific place to do that then you won't have so many violators and ruined threads in other places. Fact is that many things affect our hobby that aren't immediately or directly related, but we can't talk about them lest we get banned. This is a forum, a place where people go to discuss both fact and opinion. We have plenty of good places on here to discuss fact, now give us one to discuss opinion. Simple request. It would be opt in, if yo don't want to deal with it you don't have to, but don't deprive everyone else of the choice.We have a political forum as it relates to MVs.
There are hundreds if not thousands of forums on the Internet to discuss politics, use them.
You do know that WE (mods) do not own the site, correct? You do know that owner has laid down the rules of no political speech on the site, correct? Why is that so difficult to understand?While there are some good threads and Info in our current politics forum, it is little more than a joke.
