JT! Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 When i was on the homepage on TF earlier i clicked on the topic along side trials chat (which takes you straight to the last topic that was replied to if you didn't know) and i ended up in a FAQ topic. I then went and looked about in the FAQ section for the first time and noticed that there's topics on the first page that haven't been posted in for over a year and a half!I understand why the FAQ section has been kept, as it does contain a lot of good information and a lot of hard work has gone into some topics, but some of the topics in there are over 3 years old and very out of date. For example the topic about tiers fitting into frames, pretty much all those frames on there are long gone, or will be a completely different frame with the same name like the t-rex, there's probably been about 4 different t-rex frames since then, and it's probably doing more harm than good, people may go on there and not notice how out of date it is and made bad decisions on that information.Also the wiki discussions subforum just seems to be a list of every wiki page ever created, 99% of which have 0 replies, and the other 1% are just people bitching about how someone has 'hacked' their account and made a topic.Anyone agree with me that they should have the plugged pulled on them?

Tomm Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Are they really bothering you that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Nope, I just think it's silly to have 2 sub-forums, one of which is more out of date than the old Onza website and the other of which is never ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats it.The F.A.Q. section is a good place to look up old things or things that don't ever change, like how to bleed a maggie. If it irritates you just don't go in there?

Muel Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 You said about the frame and tyre thread being out of date, it's not though, the tyres and frames don't change size the older they get. The same frame and tyre combo that worked 5 years ago will still work today.But I see your point that it could be misleading if the frames have been changed, maybe it needs updating?I'm pretty sure it does get used a lot, it's just that people don't tend to reply to a list of instructions instead of an open topic.

JT! Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) Do you actually know what your on about when you write these things or just fill in the blanks with what you think sounds about right and use that as evidence to say its irritating.Theres been the old style t-rex, and then the new one. Thats it.The F.A.Q. section is a good place to look up old things or things that don't ever change, like how to bleed a maggie. If it irritates you just don't go in there? My bad, i thought there was an old blue t-rex, then a gold one, then the t-rex with flames, then the red and silver one, then the most recent one. Turns out the gold and blue were the same just a different colour, and the red and silver one is the current one. I though there was a new one but they have the cleaner and hitman and all that now.Also, Jon that wasn't really the point i was making. It's not got anything to do with a bar being across the top of trials chat, it's the fact that all this out of date info is there as FAQ's. I edited this post as to not bump the topic up.

JonMack Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 How about you press the little minimise button and you don't have to see them ever again. It's just at the top right of the subforum selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
