Looking for a new moderator for the "Originality and History" forum Options

[SirAndy]

Due to health reasons, Pat Garvey is no longer able to moderate the "Originality and History" forum and has asked for a worthy replacement.

Anyone who would like to take over as a moderator, please let me know ...

seeing how little activity there is there, (just like the 914 club) maybe the originality history should be folded in to the garage, that way everyone who knows anything could make a comment right away rather than having to remember to go to the other discussion page.

I don't think so George, because they cover two different areas, just like not merging the track/AX forum, parts FS, cars FS, etc. forums with the Garage.

IMHO it's better to start at the Garage if someone has the question on anything - if they don't know to go to the O&H Forum (or the 914club Concours one) - then be directed to look there.

That seems to be the flow, & there is more activity in that regard - looking for the reference topics - than posting questions &/or other types of topics directly as new topics over on O&H - which is probably what you see as "activity".

Unfortunately the mere act of searching & reading O&H topics doesn't register as "activity" - but it goes on!

Related to the low activity conundrum, I ran a little experiment. I posted my Seatbelt Resto thread in O&H but after 2 days of no love, I posted the exact thread over here where it quickly wracked up 14 replies. Our new mderator (thanks Dave!) has since replied to the original in O&H but this does illustrate Tom's point that it is better to post the questions in the Garage and use O&H as reference.

Hey Brent,

I thought that I answered your O&H seat belt resto question on repro labels & "PRESS" decals last week!?

.... or did you post another question after that one?

I was away last weekend camping without internet, so wasn't on here Fri-Sun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

If you were looking for something like shops to restore seat belts, then the Garage Forum may get more answers.

Whereas a question about which item or labels/decals etc. is correct - then that fits in the O&H Forum - unless you want 100 "personal opinions" of what everybody thinks is correct! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
