HAPPY HUNTING!!
There is more then just a little to wade through.

The Artic Cat forum has a total of 138,655 posts in it.

The Polaris forum has a total of 131,531 posts in it.

The Ski-Doo forum has a total of 87,808 posts in it.

The Yamaha forum has a total of 60,154 posts in it.



You and your numbers:face-icon-small-dis those numbers drop incredibly when searching in the specific area..... but lets play your game. now instead of wading through 138,655 clutching post in the arctic cat section. you will now have to search through 418,148 posts once it is all combined.

This better??
Artic Cat Clutch Setup = 427

Polaris Clutch Setup = 436

Ski-Doo Clutch Setup = 330

Yamaha Clutch Setup = 93
 
I voted no.....I thought that's what the brand specific areas were for? That already narrows things down as shown in your search results. If all those clutching threads were in one area, wouldn't it be even harder to find a brand specific question?

That's what am thinking as well, Why would someone on an Arctic Cat want to wade through pages of skidoo, Polaris, and Yamaha clutching threads. Why would someone on a XP want to wade through Rev, RT, ZX, S, clutching threads when they can go right to the XP section and find what they need. It will just end up being a pile of threads in a new subform that will then need to be sub divided again to make getting around and finding what you are looking for easier.

Or

We can just go look in the brand and model specific area.

I think a clutching section in each major sub category would be sweet.

The main purpose of a Clutching Sub-Forum should be theory.

If it's cross "stickied" so that if some one goes to the Brand specific forum or comes to a clutching sub-forum they should be able to get the same info.

Who knows, maybe the "No's" will take over and end this discussion:pop2:
 
How much action has the dedicated "clutching theory" thread had??
That's how much action a clutching only sub-forum would see....one new post in the last 4 1/2 months!!
http://www.snowestonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=175750&page=3

that thread stopped being about theory and people started asking brand specific questions...

IF all this sub forum is going to be is a bunch of links, why not just ask the mods of each sled specific forum to put a list of all the best links in their own specific section as a sticky? No new section, no new moderator..

I don't like how forums get all split up, as it seems it just makes things harder to find, and take more time. What people forget is that a lot of times you find something that you weren't looking for at that moment. That is the beauty of forums.
 
IMO,

a clutching specific forumwill just end up being a bunch of arguing... There are as many different views on clutching and how it works as there are kits..

IMO, it would not be a useful forum but would add even more confusion
 
I see the yes vote winning 2 to 1, however I don't see many of those yes voters giving positive suggestions or feedback why they want a new sub-forum. Sell me on a reason a new sub-forum would benefit us?

The no voters are giving reasons they voted the way they did...mostly to keep it brand specific and less confusing to search for their needs.

It might be 2 to 1 YES, but only 40% the people that viewed the thread voted:confused:
 
Why

I am not sure i understand why and how? Fist off every thing is clutched so different turbo's are clutched different than aspirated and all brands use different clutching so then what will be the topic and for me I do not go out of the cat section that often so it really does not matter but it would make more sense to have it in the section. OK that is my .02 and that's all i have to say about that.:clap2::clap2:
 
How about we step back from the Poll and look at the larger issue.

It's clear that our members want to KNOW MORE ABOUT CLUTCHING !!

And maybe the poll is just showing that desire??
I think a lot of people would agree with that.

Exactly! We all want to learn/know more. But what is the best way to acheive that goal??? There is not a clear way to achieve that goal without creating a bunch of confusion if you change things. Those that could contribute to a clutching only sub-forum haven't spoken up saying they want one loudly.

It appears that unless there is a big voter turn out today, the vote will be the "YES's".


Now, I have a technical question, probably for Brian.
Is there a way to clone a thread and keep it alive, not just copy it and it be dead to the original?

The only way I see a "Clutching" sub-forum working is being able to have threads in both the clutching and sled specific forums connected. The theory of clutching is the same for all sleds. It's the trial and error factor for the specific sleds that helps understand the theory.

The biggest selling point of a lot of the clutching kits is adjust-ability, where theory comes in is knowing what the changes will acomplish.

This is what I miss from the old SnoWest, all sleds were talked about in one area, so you were able to pick up information on other sleds easily. I found myself reading info on all sled makes and models. Now I find myself only reading about my specific sled. Which is great for some info, but now with my mods I need to be reading in other areas.

And for those that say that clutching needs to stay in the sled specific areas, why have a performance/modified section? Should it not be rolled into the sled specific areas.:devil:

Yes, I'm for the "Clutching" sub-forum, But if threads can not be cloned and kept alive, I just don't see how it could work.

How many years back was that??
