In some of threads are instructions on how to solve a fix problems that is why we say search. If it's not in the diy section most likely it's in another thread. Most common problems are easy to figure out.
seems like this forum died?

Kenneth - Thanks. We've also toiled with our DIY sections. We started providing incentives to members who write DIY articles, but only a few took part in the process. I think it'd be really cool to have a sort of DIY encyclopedia on here. That hasn't yet come to fruition, but we're still behind the idea. If you have any specific ideas that could help us accomplish that goal, feel free to let us know!
Ron - We've tried to address the tech problem, but you simplify the issue. There is a lack of members who are tech minded, have a non-flaming attitude, are active, and are willing to be a moderator. In fact, lethal6 was brought on because of his tech ability and contributions to that section. Otherwise, it is difficult to recruit from a pool that does not seem to exist. A big problem we seem to have had, consistently, is that most tech minded members think that the questions of others are not worth their time. These are typically the members telling others to "Search", or posting "Let me Google this for you" links. Those types of people can't be moderators. If you know somebody who fits the bill, send me a PM nominating them, and have them send me a PM telling me they're interested. We'll double check their post history and we'll get it going. This is something we've been ACTIVELY trying to do for years.
That said, I still don't thin it's a cure all. Tech minded people can fully accomplish their role as members. Being able to move and delete posts does not improve somebody's ability to communicate technical knowledge. Even so, we are (and have been) HIGHLY willing to bring on new mods with diverse backgrounds, including and especially those who are technically inclined.

It's good to see you say that. That's how a lot of us feel about CC. It's the reason that debates like this occur. It's a long term home for many of us, and we all want to see it prosper.

I dont think this forum died, Alot of people still come on here to just browse like myself, I learn new things here all the time. If it wasnt for this forum there would be alota stuff I'd still be clueless about. Ron is a big help on this forum aswell coz he is always willing to help and he gives fantastic advice when the members on here have car issues. The members on here shouldnt question whether or not this forum has died but instead appreciate what guys like Ron and the many other guys on this forum who help us in our time of need when it comes to our vehicles , and we all should support Club Civic 
To whore your self out for post LmfaoI'm still here, just sayin.
