Why did you guys start another thread anyway? If there was no reason, I am just going to combine the two.

because the first one was 40+ pages long. and this one is already over 20 pages long.
go for it if you want to.
heck, if you hadnt said anything, we probably wouldve never noticed if you did combine them
(other than the fact that when i click last page, it would now say page 65)

Because the other, first "Hey Iowa" thread covered I think 2 different meets and it was thought that instead of having a huge mega BAW size thread we would let the older one die and start with a newer "up-to-date" thread.

Edit: Blade - go into User CP and then into Edit OPtions and change post per page to 30 and you will then have only 19 pages showing for this thread. Way easier to go through larger threads this way.

Well, it does not hurt the database at all if a thread is large. The monthly BAW threads usually reach over 5,000 posts every month and usually gets about 60,000 views. I can just keep this thread around, and you Iowa, Illinois, Missouri guys can just chat in here. Hell, look at the Northeast section, they have a thread for NYC, Maryland, Hampton Roads and those threads are HUGE!

At the same time, for the NOOBS that show up form time to time - they would get lost trying to dig through an 80+ page thread dedicated to IA. IA sucks enough as it is man, let us have a few threads lol.

No, you got it wrong. You guys can keep the thread, just keep it civilized. When it gets to.....1,000 posts, start up a new one, and whoever starts it up send me a PM about it, and I will lock up this one. Also, when the new thread is started put something else in the title. "Iowa RX-7 Guys" or something.
