Well a lot of questions start out in the general section, then get moved to the proper section. Sometimes it happens fast, other times it takes a while.Well sure, Bill.
It’s not like anyone discusses exterior modifications on the general forum, right?
A few minutes? For 800 posts, at least 95% of which will not apply to my question?There are 800 replies in the Aftermarket Bumper sticky. Maybe take a few minutes and scroll through the replies. You don't have to read every post or any of the posts for that matter, but there are plenty of pictures to look at. Who knows, you may find one in there you like. Almost every aftermarket bumper I've seen, especially stubby bumpers, are designed around the use of a winch. If you're simply going for a cool factor, only you know what you find cool or not.
I never said I read all the post. Actually, I didn't read any post in the bumper sticky. I did how however quickly scroll through looking just for pictures. When I found one I liked, then I did my research. And I quickly narrowed it down to 3 stubby bumpers. Yes, the general section has a lot more traffic, but Exterior Mods is a close second for total number a discussions in the technical section and second in terms of total post behind Issues, Repairs and Warranties. I browse the Exterior Mods section everyday along with hundreds of others. The moderator didn't kill the thread by moving it to the correct section of the forum, you did by making a duplicate post. And today, 12 minutes after you claimed the thread died.... someone else posted another suggestion.A few minutes? For 800 posts, at least 95% of which will not apply to my question?
You must read a lot faster than I do.
The question remains: What useful purpose is served by relegating a thread which is apparently interesting to people to a forum which few ever visit.
Why do that?
I posted a thread. People responded. Moderator killed it.
Why?
Was it cluttering up the forum, in comparison to all the frivolous, stupid clickbait threads?
No. It was a serious question, and it was being answered seriously.
Actually, I’ll say this: maybe I’m just not very particular or picky about parts on my jeep and therefore less likely to care about a winch mounting location. My old YJ had a bumper that had a mounting location and holes for a winch that I never used and I always thought it looked fine. I wouldn’t get too hung up about that because you can always cover the holes up (I didn’t even bother with that).Yep, found it but I also have nothing to add. LOL
