This place surely isn't what it used to be...
I haven't been on the board for a few years but there was I time I was here reading and posting at all times of the day and night. I recently put up 2 different post which happen to be simple questions and wanting opinions of others. They both have well over 100 views and not a single reply... I would've been even happy to have someone tell me to kick rocks. Usually when this would happen, atleast a moderator would pop in for a short reply. Just a little rant...I'm done.

What I've noticed is a lot of the heavy hitters don't visit the site anymore. Those are the ones that bring the most information
Reading about the same questions for Yrs makes this site old and tired
In 2015 you have as many 8s trucks now as you did 10s trucks in 2010
In 2010 you had more posting of those builds now you have none of them...the information this site nerds is from the members who run shops, build fast **** and have pushed the limits of things
You can only read the same lowering questions for so long
So maybe try and look for ways to bring the educated ones back

Years ago everyone stated you needed a forged motor and back halved trucks for 10s
Same budget can work for 8s today that was spent Yrs ago, today 10s can be had dirt cheap
As for sharing information that's what makes a tech site, by not sharing information limits the tech
I've been in association with many shops over the Yrs sharing information...its a nice thing to be able to bounce information off others...its how we learn and move forward

A lot of the really SMART guys the did a lot of the pioneer and group work have sense moved on to other things. Many of the very tech heavy article writers aren't around any more for whatever reason. I personally know a few that just got fed up with all the idiots with deep pockets getting huge followings and thinking they know everything, then talking down to the guys who really know what they're talking about from a physics/chemistry/engineering point of view. (run on sentence, don't care)

You guys have brought up a lot of good points. When I first came here I worked my way to being one of the fastest naturally aspirated trucks on the board. There were only a couple of monsters (parish8, 2toneblown, a few more) that we looked forward to hearing stories from but most of us struggled to get in the low 13 high 12's. Funny how things change hahaa. I can't hold a candle to most of the trucks on here now but I guess that's how it goes.
