That's an okay idea, but the Technical Forums are a long ways down on the list, and people might miss the forum when they first join the site as the majority of traffic is concentrated on top and in the Off-Topic forum discussing how horrible Obama is.. 
Once again, I am not looking to discuss so much "issues" on this forum.. more so ideas, statistics and technical information.

So what's your suggestion on where this forum should be located?
Like I said the SL, CL and the S-Class are very similar machines with different skin on them. Engine, Transmission, Suspension, etc... is pretty identical, but is spread across 8 different forums on here and has the opposite effect of a "MB Community"
I'm not sure why this whole thing has to be such a big deal... this forum is FOR the members and runs because of the members here, so why would the administration not cater to the members that support this forum?

But there needs to be a little more thought into this. Like what specific topics would this forum cover versus their respective chassis forum? Do we remove those models from the respective chassis forums all together and just put them all under one forum? These are the things I think about which also have an effect on members and an "MB Community".

They are split up because there is A LOT more content for C63 than for CL63 or S63. I do understand what you guys are asking and I'm not disagreeing. Like I said if there's enough content and/or demand to warrant on it's own forum, then I support it. But UNLIKE how we split the C-Class forums by chassis, you are asking to split by engine across chassis, which makes it a "tech" and not a "chassis" forum. So where would you like it since someone mentioned it would get lost among the tech forums given the location of the tech forums. I don't agree with that entirely. Case in point, Off-Topic forum. We can always place links to this forum from the respective chassis forums.

Let's put it under the technical section.

Listen.. the reason I brought this up was because I happend to stumble into the SL AMG forum by accident and happened to watch Akademik's video with his car where he mentioned he had a CAI.. I would have never known this. If we had this forum he would have posted this up and all of us could have had CAIs by now...
It is true, I had no idea where to post it so I just didn't. And when I made the video, I went ahead and put it with the big dogs at the AMG SL section... although my car isn't really an AMG.

"S, SL, CL (V12TT) - Discuss the twin turbo V12 platform shared between the respective models"
...along those lines. Just my opinion of course.

It would be kinda cool if there were separate powertrain sections just underneath the site announcements section for the M275, 6.2L AMG, and 5.5L AMG S/C
My guess is with enough people collaborating we could get a Benz under 10.58 in short order!

Yes, in a way. Why are the C classes split up? My guess is so that relevant information is shared, traffic is up, and less "stuff" is lost in the jumble. This is similar to what we are asking for...except with an engine rather than a chassis...does that make sense?
Guys, correct me if I'm wrong...but I think we are mostly looking for a place to discuss/share information regarding the M275 and it's related drivetrain.

Yes, from what I can tell, the people pushing for this would be interested in exactly that.
The good news is, it sounds like they're receptive to the idea of doing 'something' for us. Let's try to give ideas in a civilized, NO CAPS SHOUTING, manner and I think they'll facilitate.
But yeah, don't bury us on the bottom of the forum. I've never been to Croatia, and I'm not really interested either.

Great Ideas guys, I'll add mine.... Def agree we would benefit from an additional forum located @ the top of the boards...Literally right above the C63 AMG listing. I.E.

I believe leaving all other AMG/non-AMG sub-forums in place would be fine as they are truly ALL over the map w/content mostly involving 55 Kompressor's or 500 models.

Ok good discussion. But not to burst your bubble, but it's not going to be at the top of the boards 
And again, PLEASE let's separate where something SHOULD belong from where in the list it belongs. The top forums are chassis forums. Placing a forum that's not a chasis forum because you don't want it down below is not a good reason. There are ways we can get people to ANY forum if there's enough interest. Again, look at Off-Topic.
My suggestion is to place it where it belongs under "Tech" and we can create an announcement and even a STICKY at the top of the relevant forums linking to it for V12TT tech.
I'm good with this description:
"S, SL, CL (V12TT) - Discuss the M275 V12 Bi-Turbo platform shared between the respective models"
As it specifies the discussion pertains to the V12TT. We can add the specific models below that. Again, the forum needs to be specific to its discussion, otherwise it gets confusing given there still exists a chassis forum for those models.

HAHA...the bolded part sounds like a Godfather movie line or something...but seriously, good points; and I think it's a reasonable compromise for all parties!
