The topics that I see are just too diverse to fit into that thread IMO, I think they're there for good reason but they clog up other things in off topic. In fact, perhaps a section in Community is warranted IMO

Not to seem sarcastic or passive aggressive, but this is a tech forum and--while cars do have increasingly more tech in them--cars are not really tech. Couldn't people go to one of the many dedicated car forums that are around?

Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

I mean I agree with you but lots of people don't and so I think a place for them is good

Sure, but they wouldn't be populated by the LTT community.  The mega car thread is proof that there are many in this community that are into cars.  I can understand wanting to keep the forums focused (there's also a mega airplane thread, where do you draw the line?); I can also understand wanting to keep your community here instead of sending them elsewhere...

The subforum would be under OT. At that point its fair to ask, why continue discussion here. Because of moderstion? Platform? I can't think it's just people.

A subsection would be cool and all, and would reduce the clutter. The main car thread I think is sufficient since this isn't a car forum though, and a lot of the extra threads are super basic 'wat kar shud I buyz' that can be answered in a post or two with 'miata'

 

Car forums are much more tailored to specific makes and models rather than general car enthusiast discussion. It's kinda nice to have the all-are-welcome aspect of car chat, and it has always amused me just how many tech/gamer friends of mine are also, to varying degrees, car people.

Also i started the car thread in 2014 thinking it'd die in a week or so. 
I'm really not an authority on anything in this forum. Yall do you. Not like i can change anything.

Don't really see why it can't be a thing, just because its a tech forum doesn't mean you can't have anything not tech related. I have seen tech forums with subs for food, music, cars, and so on.  It does work.

Seeing that the car thread has over 130k replies, it would be difficult for a new user to ask/find a particular question without said question being buried.

If a subsection is added, I think it's better to have it about vehicles in general, not just cars. I guess that'll round up those who are interested in such things into a dedicated place instead of being scattered around 'Off Topic' and status updates. Imo of course

You might laugh but there are people with legit questions that would get drowned in the car thread

I would be happy with a car sub forum, I am a motor head type person with a fair bit of experience.  I would like to help people with questions but I find the one thread just too long, there is way to much to catch up on peer visit and questions would easily get lost in it.

 

Oh and I am serious about thee mower,  Even though it's  good to laugh at, I have enjoyed messing around with it.
