Forums are like going to bars or resturaunts. You check some out until you find the one that offers the 'stuff' and atmosphere you're looking for. Sometimes you go because you like the people that hang out there, or you just like what the establishment has to offer, or maybe it's the staff/service.
Sometimes you can frequent a place for years and then move on because the clientel changes and you just don't like to hang out there. Sometimes it just gets old and you're looking for something new on the menu.
I see more and more sites on the net created by people who think they can do better. It seems they all have their own unique feel and target a certain crowd. I've seen sites where it seems like one person posts some new conversion or mod that nobody has done and nobody asks questions. Everyone just posts how wonderful the peron is for doing it or how great it looks when it doesn't even describe how they did it. Other sites crucify you if you ask a question and you have to post a paragraph disclaimer that you used the search before even thinking of asking a question, and then put on your bullet proof vest, grab a fire extinguisher, and wait for the replies. Some forums are just boxes and you can't go their and think outside of their box.
You can't be everything to everyone and TRS will never be everything to everyone. We were the first site on the internet dedicated to 4x4 Rangers. RPS was the first on the net to cater to the street guys (I have a lot of respect for Jim Karnes and his dedication to RPS over the years). Us older sites pretty much get labeled as being either a 4WD or 2WD site. I'm dedicated to the RBV's and giving people what they want. There has been a request for some specific forums here and I've provided them knowing that we'll never replace sites that already target those discussions. That doesn't meen we can't offer a place here for discussion. It kind of goes back to my comparisons using bars and resturaunts. Just because it's not a bar doesn't meen you can't offer a few drinks on the menu.
I know things have been political around here lately. There are a lot of emotions right now about our country and our economy. We try to keep discussions that may get people bent out of shape in the Garage forum so the regular 'customers' don't have to see them and get upset. If you go in the Garage forum and don't like the content, then don't read it. Avoid that forum.
I have been breathing new life in to TRS updated pages and searching for new information. There is a lot to do. I just took a short page on Wheel Travel and rewrote it over a (2) day period. In a few days I'll re-read and probably find a mistake or something I forgot to add, but we're working on it. I'm starting to see some good information popping up in some peoples build threads that could make up a few tech articles just in themselves.
The most important thing to remember about websites is that their success comes from the sites members. When you put on a set of extended radius arms, an F-250 shock mount, swap in a set of seats or add a console and post pics and information in a build thread, it may not be any big deal to you, but it may either help or motivate another member or lurker to do the same.
People ALWAYS use the internet to find information. If you don't have it, they'll search for it somewhere else.

Closest thing I have to an Audi is the A4 lifters in my car, lol.
