Maybe the link to; or upon request. Would be the best answer.
But I don't agree with calling people scum.

Trying to point out that if someone is in need of the manuals and creating a 25 post rule, and expecting 25 posts of 'value' when the dude may just want to repair his vehicle and get out wheeling.



If so many sign up just for the manuals, how is it that so few contribute, but are still members?
Agree, There is a better way and having these discussions will hopefully resolve in a better and a fairer way for all.

As for the divide between regular contributors and members is the same with all forums. People join the forum, grab the information they need and go away. Most forums have some kind of restrictions and some you need to join to even look at the info. So this is pretty uniform between forums and I don't think this divide will be reduced.

As I mentioned before it is definitely in the spirit of this forum to call people names, etc, thats why this forum is much more friendlier than others. You will see by some of the member quotes" I came here to get some info but I'm still here after months".
