Hello.....Question, Why would you want to add something you already have on the forum???? :confused2::confused2: Your Build it yourself forum description already says
Mower Modifications, Customizations & Build-it Yourself.

I was under the impression that he was going to change the title of the forum from Build it Yourself to Customizations to better reflect the description of add ons, accessories, modifications, & build it yourself topics. :confused3:

His post above said he was going to add it and I couldn't figure out why when it's already there and said so in the description.:confused3:

IMO you don't need two forums, if I did anything I'd break down the forum, have the main forum Build It Yourself and make additional sub forums for Mower Modification and another for Customizations. Other than that I'd leave things as is.

Noooooooo!!! Sub forums and such is what started this whole thing. Please don't draw us through some maze, just to get where we need to discuss similar hobbies and /or projects. My whole point, was to talk about FACTORY, OEM style improvements. Like when you add a wanna add a store bought mulch kit, or putting on a bumper, maybe adding a sun shade. I know when I had to replace my p.o.s. brand new mower tires because the OEM tires went flat from thorns on the same patch of ground I've mown for ten years with no problem. Yea all four in two weeks, they had to go. Those of you who've mounted those new, pressed flat, tires, know what I'm talking about. The first timer can encounter great difficulty. I could've used some advise. I've just now got my eyebrows grown back from the fireball, kidding of course. But IMHO, I think we could have a forum JUST for this stuff alone. Not really brand specific. But if your hobby is walkin wheelies, on a sixty horsepower machine. If your into tiny tractor pull. If your swapping ideas on a three wheel Harley mowin trike. I could give examples all day. Point is my cup holder question might be a little pedestrian. BUT if you add, or split or whatever. Its GOT to be upfront, out in the open, main menu stuff. Because people who are NOT members, DON'T know how, or where to find those sub categories. They probly all, come to this site looking for answers, solutions. Then like me decide to join. But you have to make it more intuitive, less confusing. Maybe there's not enough interest in the two topics seperately. Don't know. Maybe we should look into the matter, before making changes. I'd personally like to see a separate forum, just to have the wild bunch, the think outside the box crowd, all in one place. A place all concentrated, where I can see all these wild crazy bastards, with their off the.chain, weird, sometimes artistic, sometimes beautiful, almost always inspired, creations. To be honest, when I'm looking at that sorta stuff, I don't want to see Kenneth's stupid cigarette lighter question. I want these wild imaginations to step out, totally unfettered. So I can see some shock and awe. At work I can show the fellas, hey look at this. Without goin through a bunch of problems that probly already been solved anyhow. A single destination of pure fantasy, being brought to life.... Who's with me on this? Or is it just me?

Kenneth, I think you have good ideas. What would you recommend calling this new forum to classify it best. Add ons, mild mods, factory equipment options, custom parts or something else?

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking something straight to the point. Yet it needs to be simple, easy to see right thru. Very vanilla sort of name. Probably sounds ridiculous, but I'm thinking, "The tool chest ". Probably sounds a little hacky. Oh well it's been a long day. But I think it's important not to get too sophisticated. After all we're selling fun friendly advice, and friendship. While poking fun at one another. Not showing how clever we are. Besides I think the real fun would be on the other side of this thing. The crazy side. Aren't these forum websites advertising driven. I say jazz it up! People will want to see this crazy stuff. Then they'll know we're here. Probly increase members! If not us showcasing these lovable creative folks then who would be more likely. C'mon this is what we've trained for people. Sorry ,like I said it's been a long day I'm probably delirious. I think maybe someone needs a nap.

Straight to the point, in my opinion would be Accesssories, Add ons and Such as you titled this thread. The tool chest invokes tools for the job in my mind, not making it easier to navigate. Treasure chest (Bling) maybe closer to the point. Hairy chest or big chest probably not politically correct for the forum either! :laughing::laughing:
