Could I suggest a thread merger?

...All these Ken Block vids? Seriously, is there any reason why this, this, this, this and this (and there are probably more besides) all need to be different threads?

Yes, the guy is impressive, but God knows what it is about the bloke that makes even long-time members post new threads about the same damn thing even worse than n00bs in the GT sections...

That section isn't that busy, so I don't really see a problem. Plus it's easier to tell when there is a new video out.

yea i gotta agree, they should be all one thread its the same thing repeatedly. now if their were back to back car races im sure the separate threads hastily be thrown together under one thread

I don't really see a problem with it. That section really only has 2 active topics anyways(Imports and the Questionable Modifications Thread).

Because it's NOT the same damn thing!!

Didn't I clarify myself enough in the other thread?? I put the KB Esky videos in LEO'S THREAD. I could've acted like a noob/been an ass and did my own but it was appropriate to put them in his as it was of the same action on the same day from a different person who was there filming all the backstage stuff.

My one regarding Dirt 2 is about the people who were playing Dirt 2 being caught out saying they could "drive better than Ken Block" and were then shown 🤬 themselves while in the passenger seat. Nothing to do with his Gymkhana stuff, nothing to do with the Esky either....so it deserves it's own spotlight too. 👍

Fred's one is of a different Esky, not the one in Leo's thread. And it's actually quite good that it shows KB having a bit of an epic fail driving that Esky! And if a mod can do his own thread and have no problems with merging....then why should we?

Really, if you're comparing this to the tripe we collectively have to put up with in the GT5 section right at the moment you're barking at not only the wrong tree, but the wrong bloody forest!!

Interesting to hear peoples feedback.

Surely that's the idea behind threads being bumped to the top when someone posts in them? If the thread stays at the top then it's because it's popular and people keep on contributing. To my knowledge all the people who've posted KB threads are still active members so it doesn't take much for the person who started the thread to update the title as necessary. Or even put links to the vids in the first post. Like happens with any other organised thread in the forum.

mafia_boy - Regardless of the small differences in the video content they're still threads about the same guy doing the same thing. And for some unknown reason, only Ken Block threads in the whole forum (save for the GT sections) seem to suffer from this behaviour. I can't see how one, well-organised thread with all the Ken Block content people find isn't a better idea than multiple threads.
