agreed, seems a lot more help topics (im also guilty however)
moderating needs a bigger push, but without over-moderation tbh

the only time i've ever used general chat as help zone was because i needed to know really quick as i only had the car for a couple of hours, other than that i use help zone, and i always try to help people in there so that people do actually use it for help

Half the people that reply to the ones in GC don't have a clue what they're on about anyway.

It's just a case of thinking of a way to get more people looking in Help Zone tbh

I've give up trying to do anything about it now, no one else seems to be that arsed about it as there's threads left in here for weeks that shouldn't be.
Some people might not think it's a big deal but it's annoying to the majority of the users, once one thread appears and stays here every other silly cunt thinks it's ok to do the same.
Best thing to do is U2U Ian.

tbh help threads in general chat dont really bother me tbh as the thread usually ends up turning into general chat anyway.

Thats because General chat has become Helpzone.
Maybe we should start some general chat in helpzone.
Balance it out.

Help Zone isn't a sub-section of General Chat though is it?

You've got no need to look in help zone since you can't offer any help. Doesn't mean that other people don't.

The only thing I would say about it is it does get some Corsa related threads in the main forum 
That said they should go in help zone.
