I think it's a good idea! Also, I wouldn't mind seeing a Mopar Street Rod forum and a Pre 94 Dodge truck forum. With apologies to RamMan, the truck forum is wildly successful, but any posts on the older trucks, just seem to get swarmed under and washed away.

I see your point, Indy, and it would be nice if it could work. But I've seen whenever someone comes in here, usually with a NonMopar nick and starts talking up nonMopars, and usually a snide comment is made, then the flame wars start. Besides, this is Moparchat, I think having forums here for GM , Ford or any other manufacturer would be counter-intuitive and most likely, a source of trouble. AMC is fine, we already have a Jeep forum, I think those two would work together, and I'm definetly in favor of the slant six forum, These little wonders are deserving of their own place. Mopar relatives like Maxwell, Simca, AMC, and whoever, are fine. But I just don't think that nonMopars belong here.

Exclamation

I absolutly love the idea of a slant six forum as I have two slant six engines and would enjoy hearing performance tips etc. Now about what cmindy said...yes some of us also have fords, chevy's etc, but thats what Ford and Chevy boards are for. What makes this forum unique from other boards is that it is Mopar only and thats how I like it, otherwise what would be the point in coming here? If I want to see Fords or Chevys I would go to their boards. Keep Mopar chat just that Mopar!
I said my peace

I think it would be nice to have a /6 forum too. there's no place else to post on them except in the performance forum and they slide down the list pretty quick there

Biggrin mopar streetrod forum& slant 6 forum

A slant 6/ forum is a great idea! .......awhile back I was intouch with someone at Moparchat ,and was wanting a Mopar Streetrod Forum put on the board,( this was just before the total change of Moparchat`s new look) anyway Iwas told that the new look of Moparchat would have many new forums, and that a Mopar Streetrod forum was a great idea, and to look for it...........I`m STILL LOOKING. I wanted a true Mopar streetrod Forum.
Mopar rods with Mopar drive lines.
After all this is called Moparchat.....if it wer`nt for the old mopars ( 20`s- late 50`s) there may never have been any muscle cars.

Default Good idea.

There are already 2 websites fully dedicated to Slant Sixes, www.slantsix.com , and www.slantsix.org . But I see no reason why we can't have a special section here as well. I wouldn't mind having AMC's here, but NO Phords or Shivvys. I've never heard of anyone building up a 199, 232, or 258 straight 6 in an old Javelin or anything, but I'd listen to what they had to say. I voted, and mine was the SIXTH yes vote! Get it? SIXTH, SIX, /6!

I love the idea. I know quite a bit about /6's now, and I hang out over at slantsix.com a lot. I would love to SHARE moderation with someone (can't do it alone)

I consider myself to be well above average in /6 knowledge, research, and development, but I don't have my own computer. I have to go to libraries to get online, and don't know anything about moderating a forum, either.

Default Mods...

Well, it sounds like this is a good idea and everyone agrees! We just need to find a moderator or two...

Also, sounds like Tim K is a good prospect for being a mod...in my opinion! Also, Goldduster could help out.

Tim K, to reply to your comment regarding moderation, all you really need to do is stop in every few days and answer questions, etc.. If you find someone posts something offensive, you will have the power to delete or edit the post. Pretty straight forward stuff!

If we can find a person of two to moderate, that would be great...I think I will turn the forum up now, and we can figure the moderators out over the next week or so!

Anybody wanna apply for moderator of the new /6 forum, let me know!

Thanks,

Andrew
