For those wondering why I didn't put it in the ar parts thread... I figured members here would find it but not those looking to buy everything up and gouge the rest of us. Every time I'm in the ar parts thread there's quite a few guest browsing that thread
That's a good point you bring up. Some benefits of sharing info in this day and age should be for MEMBERS ONLY, not the skimmers or guests.
On the truck thread I Admin, we have 1 category, where members have spent countless hours putting together info, like wiring diagrams, axle codes, RPO and SPID codes and blah blah blah, damn near everything down to what every bolt and fastner is for these trucks. Guests and Skimmers can see the Thread Titles in that category, but they can't see the content of the thread. There are Pro's and Con's both ways to that though too.
Sure it might get someone to sign up, but that doesn't mean they'd participate.
