How about considering a Megasquirt FI and Megajolt ignition forum....

Right now its being discussed in several different places in multiple threads ....

It doesn't make sense to create an entire Forum for that but a dedicated thread would be fine. If you are familiar with this product and want to start a thread with details, I am fine with it.

There's a really good EFI forum over on STF. I'm just not sure there's enough 'traffic' to support it. UAC has one as well, and it's fairly dead as well.

Guess you fools didn't get the memo. :lol:

Dang it. Another forum I have to 'peruse' before work in the morning? I'm going to have to start getting up earlier...

If Everett made a dedicated forum for every subject that has multiple threads going at once, we'd not have individual threads, but a forum for everything... the search works wonderful for things as specific as megasquirt.

This thread mentioned above:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=361837
is in the FAQ as a primary thread for discussion of distributorless ignitions.

Like I said above, if it makes sense to have a single thread devoted to this product, go ahead and start one with some introductory information and I will add it to the Performance FAQ as "the" thread to use. Usually if we have a "dedicated" thread, that means we would be locking new threads and directed them to that thread only. From what I can tell, this is not what is best as they are many different questions that can come up that are better left to their own individual discussions. It's better to do a title search on Megasquirt or Mega* before posting and see if your question has been addressed or if your question related to an existing topic that you can add to.

We do not create Forums section for one companies products. We are not that company. Otherwise why not have a Forum section for every company out there.

I'd be happy to add any technical topic to the FAQS/Sticky topic.

I'll even make a sub category so they are grouped together.

If you want a new topic added, just send me a PM and it will be reviewed.

Does that help?

^^^ Sounds good.

If there are existing topics that should be in the FAQ or if you want to start a new one with the intention of it being in the FAQ, PM Glenn or myself with links and we can add it.

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I think that an EDIS forum would be useful and popular. Does your phpBB system allow subforums?

Thanks.

This version does not have subforums.

As far as I know no one ever did this so there was no interest...
