PLEASE post car model in title!
Since we are all now in one big kiddie pool for the time being, it would help greatly if all A/V posts include the car model involved in their title!
Some posts have even failed to include the involved model in the body of the post... put it up top, please.
Mods, feel free to lock this now...

I may be fat but I'm slow
Not gonna lie, but this stands out as a reason why we do NOT need to merge these forums...sure, some general audio stuff is the same, but for the most part, we talk about car-specific topics in here. Why should I search through TL, CL, etc stuff to get info on my TSX? Seems to me that in the old system, if I couldn't find the answer I was looking for on A-TSX, I could always go look on A-TL, etc if necessary.
Hate to say it, but seems like this is unnecessary reinventing of the wheel. Not to slam on the admin here, they do a great job for the most part, but sometimes things just aren't as great an idea as they seem.

My understanding is that they have so much to do in other areas to address their overall plan that the A/V section is, to put it bluntly, more a PITA than anything.
Just the fact that A/V is under Off Topic pisses me off, personally... more people do A/V upgrades than any other mod! How it THAT off the topic? But it's not my site, and it's free, and soopa is tired and doesn't want feedback about what he's gonna do anyway. Maybe there will be model-specific subheadings at some point, maybe not, but if a bunch of tech geeks who used to hang out in the A/V sections bail on acurazine because we're pissy about the changes, I really think that soopa's still gonna sleep like a baby.
Disappointing, because I think that the A/V forum can really attract readers looking for good DIY info and giudance... it seems just as much a click magnet as any forum. Too bad it's seen as a pain in the ass... of course, I probably helped there by arguing in the TSX AV forum, so in that sense maybe it's my fault too...
Regardless, it is what it is, and if it gets better great, in the mean time, seems like a lot of people just don't hit AV any more... se la vi.

All I can assume from these statements is that I am a very atypical user. I never once looked in any A/V section except TSX. And every single thing I was interested in reading in the A/V section only pertained to TSX.
Another idea I had that I think would solve this debate if the admin(s) are still willing to entertain ideas, would be to have both. Just add a new A/V section to each model car that seems to have an audience for it (I know TSX had an active A/V section). But leave the general one too. Since some A/V talk is general, and some is specific, leave it up to the readers to decide where to post.
Considering the number of A/V threads (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) in the general "Acura TSX Discussion" forum, I think it would be a welcome addtion.
