I don't even know where to start with what you're addressing. If someone were to make a do-it-yourself thread explaining how to remove and install a new intake in just plain text, then you're right, I wouldn't move it to the right forum. It's not helpful at all to have a final version of a write up with no pictures, especially for an intake or anything technical for that matter. Where I'm getting at is whether or not you had intentions to include pictures or videos originally. If you wrote something up and mentioned in there that you would be including pictures and videos at a later date (after they're uploaded), then the thread will most likely moved to the right forum afterwards
I don't see how you're comparing jameslewis178's and ImAuthenticFTW's post to CaliGuy's. They posted claims of getting <14.1 seconds on the 1/4 mile. Of course people are going to want to see proof. The average amount of people on these boards aren't very likely to get those numbers, especially 13.1 seconds. CaliGuy posted up a thread that he is uploading his 700 megabyte videos onto YouTube explaining how to install an intake. Kind of comparing apples to oranges there, no?
I guess the bottom line is, I don't see how in any way what CaliGuy did was classified as
abusing his powers. I guess it's just a little misleading for us since we don't know what's coming. He does. So instead of creating it in the general forum, he posted it in the main forum because it'd probably end up anyways. Nonetheless, I'm assuming he used his best judgment. I mean guessing from this, it's no hoax --
