Default Suggestions to the webmaster.

I just have a suggestion, first off, I have met a lot of cool people on this website, i'm fairly new on the sc boards, but my previous car use to be a honda, (acura Integra). When i had that car, we had a site called team-integra.net. On team-integra.net, all the articles, performance, maintance, were all archived in a certain section, so if anyone had a problem with their car, all they needed to do was just click on the articles section and there would be a list of articles to choose from containting performance, braking to just regular maintence. I know this board has something similar, but they are more in the form of forums, thats why people often tell others to search when they need help on something. Im just suggestiing if they could archive all the articles in a section it would be more user friendly, and reduce the number of threads of people often asking for help and gettting a do a search response. I have used the search response many times, not to say that im lazy and dont want to do a search, its just that the search button does a very broad search, it brings up topics not even pertaining to what you are specifically using, even doing an advance search just narrows your results within the sc section, but that still isnt as resourceful as having an archive from articles that people can search from. I like reading this site, but i just noticed that it can become difficult when it comes to searching for performance upgrades to just simple maintance.
I do not want to get flamed for posting this, but im just posting a suggestion. I dunno if anyone else feels the same way about searching on this site.

Very good idea!! The 300zx forum is very similar with all question laid out and answered (FAQ's) in a special place. It just makes it easy to check in for a quicl answer

Sleeper,

All very good ideas. Believe it or not we already have this in place, although we do need more articles and FAQs. There is a section called the ClubLexus Library (you see it from the main page and the tab at the top of the forum https://www.clublexus.com/index.php/article/archive/125)

The library includes a lot of great information including

Information by Model
Service Bulletins
Terminology
Aftermarket Parts
Technical Tips
Do It Yourself


The issue is that most of this information is a benefit for our 'paid members' - those folks that have donated $$ to support our forum and keep it running.


With the new upgrade coming out in a few months we're changing this and opening it all up to everyone and just asking folks to donate as they can. We'll have a push to get more articles in as well.

Why pay $400 for a domain name (you selling this?) when we can host it here for free and already have a lot of great TSB, DIY and tech info?

Also Sleeper - I'm sure that someone has referred you to CL member's website that has a huge amount of FAQ stuff in it. Lex400sc is a long time member and has been great at gathering stuff specific to the SC and putting it on his excellent website. I refer people there all the time.
