Spell check?
Grammar check? Punctuation check? Basic English check?

LOL...
all depends on your computer but that was funny

Seriously though; most the websites I have seen are broken down into: Gernal Tech (questions, builds, DIY's, major stickies, etc.) and Performance (move all the threads lower in the main page into it so you don't have to leave the LS section to view it).

or if someone went through and updated the tech articles with with ^ more DIY, better pics, for info, etc. A ton of good info thats spread around multiple threads
For example, this is how the GS300 section is broken down on clublexus. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-second-generation-184/
This is somewhat similar to the LVC forum because we have several specific make and models within a forum, that are broken down into models and generations. What I really wanted to point out was the stickied threads when you click that link. Instead of "lower ball joint DIY" we could have "our coils are the worst DIY". Someone could get working on a Sticky to consolodate all the best and most used threads into one "link" list or just copy and paste the main post. $0.02

Perhaps a drop down tree(similar to the rockauto.com) layout for the more commonly asked questions. Maybe have the most asked question in bold(example: coils or degas bottle) and then have a dropdown of the top 3 applicable existing threads. Perhaps that type of visual may help reduce some of the redundant questions. Of course, a category called "Most Common LS Issues" would be a great place to put this tool.

better search
You forgot "ebonics" check. I have had to ask members to translate for me in the past.
You start the thread with all the info. I will "pin" it.
Members can then add more info as time goes on. Try to save members on searching and starting the same thread every few weeks.
I saw your post with my avatar and thought you were going to bust me arse about my post count.:N Then I read your post.:Bang..........:lol:
That would be something a admin would have to do. I will suggested it to one.

How about an appreciation in value for the LS to keep out illiterate riff-raff

Moderated tech threads, or an easier way to update the tech ref section.
ie, the "Real Owner's Manual" thread is good, but it's getting cluttered with off-topic responses. Also, you can only edit your posts for a certain period of time, so keeping a tech reference thread up to date is difficult. Not sure what can be done there, but moderation can at least keep down the unhelpful stuff.
Another option would be turning the tech section into a wiki.
As far as the threads, I think there's maybe just enough traffic to break the LS section into a couple of sub-sections. Like tech/appearance/general. The activity might be just right to keep it all as-is, also.

I just deleted 2 pages of unless post from the "Real Owner's Manual" topic. Cleaned it up a bit. Also added "Basic tips and info" to the title. Hopefully, new members with basic questions will read this topic more.
I doubt the admins would want to do sub-sections for the LS guys. If they did for us, they would have to do it for all the other makes as well.

True but very unfortunate. For those who do and come ask questions it would surely help make answering easier.
Did we lose HyeLife as our main LS Mod? He hasn't been around much lately. I see you're listed as a staff member now Rollin. Congrats
