It would make it a little easier to find turbo related info and keep all the discussions together :beer;

A Vendor forum section is forthcoming...
As for posting to the WRONG section.
That is the job of the MODERATORS.
To read and then MOVE threads as needed to make sure they DO end up in the proper location.
Can I get some input from another 10-15 users please???
Yeah I guess they just don't have active moderators over there.
I for one would love this type of sectioning and agree with Alaskan on the issues on HCS. That's why I never bother going on there unless I'm looking for something real specific.as coyote said it would be best to have it under Performance/Modified, maybe call it Forced Induction that way it would include turbos and superchargers.
As far as splitting each sled type up, I personally think it is more trouble then it is worth and I often come across threads that pertain to my sled but are about other sleds. Hardcoresledder has this in their forums and I hate it, threads are always posted under the wrong sled type and good questions/discussions never get seen except for the select few people that look under that sled type.
Instead of breaking down each sled under each manufacturer, how about a general and a tech forum under each. It would be a simpler structure, less moderation/thread moving and it would keep all the tech threads together.
Polaris
>General
>Tech
Arctic Cat
>General
>Tech
etc.
Perfomance/Modified
>Forced Induction
just my 2c, but I have built and moderated forums before and unless there is a ton of threads about one specific topic it's best that it doesn't have its own sub forum.
Another option for sub forums under each manufacturer would be a Vendor sub forum, or a new Vendor forum all together.
Edit: I just checked the Skidoo section and as you can see every one is still posting under general where they know it will get more views.
I think everyone on the forum is in general agreeance that we do NOT want to OVER categorize things.
There seems to be a strong small group that is completely opposed to any changes at all, but most are in favor of some minor/simple categories being introduced.
If Forced Induction truly crosses all of the brand names, and is mostly cross applicable, then by all means I would be happy to create a forum for this that is not a sub-forum of any of the Sled Brands.
But I will offer this up for thought.
If I was brand new to SnoWest.
And I came in here looking for a Turbo-Charger for my Summit XP, the first place I would go was into the SKI-DOO forums, as I would just "assume" that turbos are VERY brand specific in their packaging from the various manufacturers...
