!!!!Every SC forum poster...Click Here!!!!
This place is a mess...
First...Title your threads descriptively.
Help, Help Please, Heeeeelllllpppppzzzzz, Needs Help, What should I do, Help me decide, or OMG!!!! These titles are very helpful when people who use "Search" are looking for OMG and Help please. OMG! really doesn't help when you are trying to find information about trans mounts, or why your antenna wont move.
This is a place for SC people to talk about and rave about SC's, Its also one of the biggest information resources on the web for the Lexus SC. I've talked with Lexus Mechanics that have used this site to trouble shoot problems unknown to them. One even said, "Pretty much everything is all right here...its just repetitive and hard to find."
Anyone wanna take a guess at why?
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Second...Search
I'm not posting the response of "Search" to be mean and condescending.
I'm saying it because even though your car is new to you, and your squeaks and rattles are new to you. Someone else probably experienced the same thing and fixed it, or found the solution...three years ago. Search for it. If what you find helps "hooray!!" if it doesnt...add your questions and bump the thread back up to page 1.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Third...Use the right forum.
Telling us how your cat really likes to sleep on your hood, and posting a picture of Mr Whiskers all cozied up on your SC...warms the cockles of my heart. Posting it in the SC forums, only because the fur bag is on your SC makes me want to punch a baby seal. That would go into the Clubhouse.
Talking about how your superfast oh-so-stock SC300 blew the doors off a garbage truck the other day...Stories and Racing Enthusiast is the section for you, Vin.
Posting about the Black SC you saw at the nudie mag store in Moosejunk Oregon, means absolutely jack to 90% of the SC forum members. Regional forums would be the place where the owner of said SC might chime up with "That was me! New edition of Scary Farm Chicks came out."
Begging for someone to Photoshop 24" dodeca chrome plated wheels on your SC...will not only invite the SC masses of lighting you on fire, it will never be seen by the people that live in the Photoshop forum. They might also flame you for the request though.
Bottom Line...
Keep the house clean, Think before you post.

Holy *****in Sh%t.... Thank GOD someone is FINALLY doing this. Nuerocity can you please have someone set up some kind of FAQ for the performance section? The amount of swap questions and wrong information given in there reminds me of those ballpins at the daycare center. Hell if noone wants to do it I'll do it.

Great post. And i love the Performance section FAQ idea... PLEASE! do this.
A site cleanup is definitely in order, I know more than a few lexus owners who refuse to use this site and tend to stick to SF just to avoid all the BS that goes on here...
Maybe an SC chat/general or basic questions section should be made because it seems like alot of the SC guys are looking for a place to just "chat" about the SC specifically without actually providing any new info about the car and would help remove the clutter from the actual SC forum... just an idea

Performance FAQ would be good!
How about a link at the top of the SC300/400 Forum for the 'SC300/400 Classifieds', just like there is a link for 'Performance' and 'Suspension'? Just a side thought for ease of access to SC owners... (Alittle off topic though..oops)

It's stickied to the top of the forum and has been for years. 
Neuro is just trying to get more exposure since people are apparently incapable of seeing the top of the forum, as seen by the ten threads a day moved to the engine forum.

I couldnt find dodeca chrome plated wheels.. but after a while i found some 12 spoke ones... 
i agree with things being hard to find.
I usually have to hold my cursor over thread titles, so the first few lines will pop up and I can *maybe* tell whats inside.

CL should have a "How Much Should I Pay" forum in the SC side or a "What Do You Think" because I am tired of seeing guys post up about cars they want to buy and want CL opinion because thay cant make up their own minds 
I think that would clear up a lot of random posts in the SC section...
