nice.

well, lets get the computer section up, cmon matthew cant use his PC.
 
oh for christs sake dexter, get laid. a troubleshooting section would be great. and i dont WANT to be the moderator. too many people are pussies on thsi board and get all pissy if you heaven forbid move a ******* thread.

i just think the section would be great.
 
then let's divide the troubleshooting section into subsections

- Computers
- Mice
- Digital Cameras
- How to turn on a monitor.
- Matthew
- P5
- MP3
- MSP
- ES
- LX
- DX
- Other cars
- Trucks
- SUVs
- How to use Google
- Girlfriends
- Boyfriends
- Matching clothes
....

come on guys, more sections are needed, I don't think we have enough
 
why do you people have a problem with consolodating problem threads into one sectino so people can look in just that section to help people
 
because then what do you post in the other sections?

if you have a non-car related problem post in off-topic, easy enough, consolidation's already been done

donno about you but I don't browse through the sections for s**** and giggles, there's that ever so convenient "Latest Forum Topics" column, and if the thread ain't there, well there must not be much interest in it anyway

get laid dude, with your micromanagement bulls***.
 
car problems, car forums

computer problems, computer forums

STD problems, just die already

see how that works?

it makes sense to ask the people on msprotege.com how to set up a beowolf cluster of my 36 xboxen, what with all 2 people that MIGHT know....
 
I think we have all the sections we need. If it doesn't fit into a section then it aint car related so post it in another forum or in the off topic section. Honestly, what car problems wont be covered by our sections?

Get Laid!
I just got laid and I still think the troubleshooting section is a good idea. Not a how-to section but a section where people say this is wrong with my car and can get detailed help as they are fixing something. People could go back and forth between the computer and their car to help them fix problems.

Most of the threads are made to talk about upgrades. If you are in the forced induction thread you are there to talk about upgrades in that area. If you are in the engine section you are there to talk about engine upgrades, ect. If you are in the general discussion section you are there to talk about random things about your car. The how-to section is for installing things. If you have a problem with your car you kinda just pick a section that might relate to the problem and hopefully someone sees your thread and answers. If there is a dedicated troubleshooting section that we can get some moderators who are technical or mechanical (or are good at referring to people who are), then it would be a big help to those who are not so knowledgeable about cars, but can't necessarily afford to take their car in to be checked. This forum is not necessarily for the car gurus, but the average mazda owner who needs some help. Bump again for a good idea.
 
agreed. the reason for this isnt because it cant be posted in other sections, but because the only threads there would be need help threads...

whats the different between "i upgraded my turbo" and "my turbo oil return line is leaking, help?:" both can go under forced induction. eh whatever.

yes like i saw someone with problems with a heater...thats not performance etc. i like the idea of having a whole section where veteran people can go in looking just to help out...
Heater could go in 3rd gen protege...
