You’re more than welcome to discuss those topics, and will get a healthy response.
Many topics have become beating a dead horse. For those, use the search!
Once folks beat the dead horse enough, they look to branch out. Fortunately bitog has clean, smart, well moderated (if I do say so myself) subforums, where a lot of different info can be exchanged.
So what you're saying is we need new horses?
But really, this place is my favorite forum to go to even though we don't have t-shirts like other ones I am on.
Hmm, I better give that topic a good read. I think I know what I am doing, but it’s better to check. Thank you!
You do realize that you’re asking this question in the “off-topic”section don’t you?
The oil section is doing all well and good
Actually, he asked it in the “user information” section - but this isn’t a user information topic. So, I moved it.You do realize that you’re asking this question in the “off-topic”section don’t you?

Sounds like he needs medical advice. Not permitted here.My Son overflooded his toilet this AM. Proper thread for that?
It’s always been this way. Seriously

I think the subforums are the other horses. It needn’t be solely about what motor oil should I use for x, particularly for established members….

Exactly what I was going to write.
This is BITOG where the site motto is:

Some of us also go to alternate topics, because we get tired and bored, by threads about obtaining the last bit of info about an oil. At a certain level, oil is oil in my world. Rarely go to a oil threads anymore. Rarely read UOA's anymore. Thicker is better seems to be the doctrine here, it may be. Who really knows. So lately after being chastised for a dyslexic moment about the almighty *** I just stay out of it. Also my one donation to BITOG was the last, after that episode.
It started with an epic 100 page thread about a rock.
Forums are somewhat like magazine subscriptions. After a decade or two, the basic information has been addressed and re-addressed, with a dose of new, changing information tossed in on occasion.
I think BITOG has matured very well and I give credit to the excellent moderation that keeps us out of the toilet like so many other forums. It's shining star is it's wide range of membership from newbies to seasoned professionals, and everything in between. What really impresses me most are the off-topic threads where men unafraid to share their human frailty assist others with serious life altering circumstances.
We have many oil, lube and auto related forums. We also have an off topic area.
Agree with OP. We need quality content like this again!
