You could try it, and some people may use it, some may not. As I've watched the number of forums expand on this site, I've noticed a couple different scenerios.
Long time members continue using their favorite forums. Some new users post in the proper forum (which experiences low traffic) and therefore doesn't necessarily get the best advice. Some new users just plain post anywhere.
Dark_5.0, we do have separate forums for Mod engines, and Windsor engines, and the Small Ponies, and the Classics. They cover all the aspects of that type of engine/car. Adding a forum for a type of modification would mearly cause the 4 banger turbo's, the forced induction 3.8's, 4.6's, 5.0's etc etc to all be grouped together for tech advice. I don't think that is a very good idea.
It's also much more difficult for dialup users, like what I'm stuck with at the moment. Changing from forum to forum takes time. Somebody posting in the Forced Induction Forum might not get the opportunity to have all the knowledgeable people responding to his/her thread if they don't visit that forum and instead stick to say Windsor Power. Wading through topics that may or may not relate to your engine or car when you are looking for answers quick may also be a problem. When you go to Windsor Power, you know you'll be getting information for the 5.0/5.8 engines about 90% of the time. When you go to Modular Madness, you know you'll be looking at information for your 4.6L car, not some old 5.0. Right now I feel it's organized for the quickest easiest way to search for topics you need info on, find and answer questions that you have knowledge to spread, and avoid unnecessary wading through irrelevant material.
