Fellows,

Thanks for the ideas, suggestions, and thoughts. I do agree with all of them. In the end the forum is for the users and the users want these areas, regardless of what the respective manufacturers do.

For the time being what I have done is made it so that the forums are available. They indicate that they are not supported by the factory but are for the users of a specific car.

I'm still not "happy" with the way it works. Essentially I created the problem by having factory supported forums. But never thought far enough ahead about what to do when the factory no longer supports the forum in question. For now I'll think on the question some more with input from members.

One thing I do want to do is move the threads that are build threads to the Builder's Forum. There are a couple of MDA build threads nested in there, and a couple of GT40 Australia build threads down there. The Builder's Forum is one of the most visited forums on the site but I imagine these threads have been overlooked since they are not part of the Builder's Forum.
