I'm talking about random posts adding their two cents that no one asked for. Or barely applies to the subject or asking off topic questions.

 

Yeah I don't mind people bring up some old threads as a matter of fact sometimes I see some good info I wasn't even aware of

 

I know I'm new and my opinion doesn't really matter, lol, but the ones that kill me are when they bump an old thread just to say something was funny or add something else to the thread that is totally unnecessary. If they are bumping it with a legitimate question or answering something that has long gone unanswered, I get the bump. But I'd say about half of the old thread bumps since I joined a few months ago have been pointless.
I've searched and read a lot of old threads, its what I do. I've read some funny stuff or wanted to comment on what someone else said, but I bite my tongue because I know its not adding to the thread. Or if I do have something productive to say, I check to see if any of the people in that old thread are even still regular members, if they haven't signed in for the last couple years, why bother?

 

This site doesn't really receive and overwhelming amount of traffic. It's not like relevant posts are being drowned out by people reviving old threads. If we had a ton of new posts a day it could become a problem but as it sits it doesn't really even happen that often. How many new threads on average are started on this site every day? 3-5? If you see an old revived thread, just ignore it and it will slide back down into the abyss.

 

I'm on here nearly everyday, and try to get to everyone's PM's and issues.

Doesn't matter if I have my car or not, because the knowledge I have retained isn't going anywhere.

Some of the kiddies think being a mod is an easy job. Just clean this up, delete this, move this. Not that easy when you have multiple PM's a day requesting a multitude of different issues.

 

This.

5 years ago, this would have a problem. I used to have pages of new posts to go through.

Now, we are lucky to have half a page of new posts per day.

 

And rice just pops in once a month to post slow pulls and new vape videos

 

so true.

 

I have forgotten more about this platform than most will ever know.

 

Area47 who?

 

One reason why I brought it up is that I think having mods contribute to threads it legitimizes the thread, helps steer the content, helps the rep of the site build etc etc. As i mentioned, I wasn't doubting anyone's knowledge retention. I know from experience that once you sell a car, you are much less motivated to engage in its discussion. To me, just the fact that only one mod actually owns the car that this site is about sends a message of apathy from administrators. I'm not applying for the job, but I think it's something to consider. At the moment it's kind of moot since the moderator tags aren't even showing up anymore.

 

Are you some kind of mod? How does in say Rent me! per hour under your name?

 

He is not a mod. He is or was contributing member, and with that, has the ability to change the text under his user name.

 

Staged is gonna buy his SS back so we don't have to worry about him

 

Ive asked you in 3 different threads now . Are you in Michigan for good now?

 

I thought you were talking to slowbalt2000 lol. Ive always been here for good. Pretty sure he is back and forth from Tennessee.

 

didnt you used to have a split location? colorado or something. I remember you always saying "when I'm back in michigan"

 

I travel for business every few months, but no I live here full time.

I wouldnt mind taking on mod responsibilities myself. Been here long enough. Still have the cobalt with no plans to get rid of it any time soon.
