Why not combine the forums?
There is little activity in general in the two CL forums. Why are there two seperate forums, AMG and non-AMG. With so few of these cars produced in general and so few members, isn't it better to just have one CL forum and get more input and discussion between members?

The majority of the discussion in here is NOT specific to the 55, so why not combine as suggested?

Most of all, there is a lot of useful discussion that happens in one or the other forum that would benefit ALL CL owners. I wind up having to go to 2 forums all the time. I am sure a lot of people would get some good info they don't normally get if both forums were combined.
Who takes care of this? The moderators?

It keeps AMG relevent information in AMG categories. But you are right, it does make it twice as hard to find relevent content.

I think miroj woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
I might as well call your posts a waste of bandwidth, everything is subjective. Nothing is ever a waste of bandwidth, mainly because bandwidth is cheap. Especially when you drive Benzos.

The forums were split this way because of member requests.
As for the "Tired of Whoring" thread: It's relevance, and the relevance of every other Off Topic Thread, is subjective. Some view this forum as more than a place to just discuss cars, but also a place to discuss other topics with other owners/admirers of Mercedes Benz.

There have been many other requests (splitting the forums into regional groups comes to mind) that have been considered and turned down because of these reasons.
Judging by the amount of views and posts on the "whoring" post that you seem to be against, it seems that there are quite a few members who participate in this thread (probably the majority of active posters).

Considering that the members of this forum in the USA probably make up about 99% of the total members, and that a large percent of them are located in and around the L.A. area, I think the information has relevance to your post.
