I'm very dissappointed in the change. I've seen a lot of online forums come on the scene, grow to amazing proportions, and then die a painful death as the original intent of the forum is lost. I hate to see this happening to LS1tech.com because I thought I had finally found a site strictly dedicated to the performance aspects of my vehicles of choice.
oh ya, I vote we force all of the f-body guys with iron 6.0 blocks to come over to the "new and improved" truck forum and see how they like it

This site is going to be dedicated to truck performance. It has all the truck sections from LS1Tech incorporated into it. They may be layed out a little different but, they're here. Nothing was lost in the move. If you are that against this site I don't guess there is anything I can do because the GM truck sections here aren't going to be moved back to LS1Tech now.
Not sure about your last statement.

The database on LS1Tech is huge no doubt and has lots of helpful info for the GM guys. It is still easily accessible.

You guys are forgetting two major points, at least in my opinion.
1. The tech knowledge is also in the members. YOU guys are an incredible source of wisdom, especially to the many newcomers you'll start seeing flood the site.
2. LS1Tech and PerformanceTrucks are still VERY closely related, and DIRECTLY connected. We're already tossing around ideas and suggestions on how to make that connection more direct and more easy to use.

I know the supposed reason for this was becuase the traffic was getting too high but you would have thought instead of knocking off the truck guys they could have wiped out 1/3 of the other rooms that basiclly just take up space. At 1st I was thinking to myself that a number of the sponsors who make good money from us truck guys would be pissed about it since you have to go back to LS1tech.com for the sponor links(which I dont understand since what they supposodly WERE having trouble with was traffic) but then I realized the sponsors are gonna love this because thats just more people(Ford,Dodge,etc..) to give them buisness. Bottom line is LS1tech.com is a money making site and by starting this new " ***** of aTruck Site 
" should be really good for buisness so you cant blame them for that. So you ask when is LS1tech changing to performancecar.net with Mustangs,Vipers,and of course our favorite ricers? Dont plan on it! The thing that makes this so funny to me is so simple but it just shows you the amount of respect they had for us is the Picture of the 3 trucks at the top of the page with the Ford first then the Dodge and of course barely noticable the Chevy and then underneath actually saying a affiliate of LS1tech. The only reason that is there is becuase of the sponsors and no other reason! I cant wait to see what new rooms get opened in the coming weeks or months!

This site is an affiliate of LS1Tech quite literally. The userbase of LS1Tech and this site are the same. If you register here you are automatically registered there and vice versa. It is a first for an online forum to do something like this that I know of.
As far as sponsors, I'm sure many of the current Tech sponsors will be here and some will not. There will also be more truck only sponsors to join in the future I'm sure. It will be better for both the user and sponsor to have this truck dedicated site. One complaint I heard alot on LS1Tech was that the truck guys couldn't find which sponsors sold stuff for their truck. I don't think any sponsors that don't sell truck stuff will be here so no more wondering.
Give it a chance guys.

This is all Im saying is that yeah it is only a small inconvenience having to go back and forth to each site( I presonally spent 60% in truck and 40% elswhere) but the fact that this isnt a LS1 truck site anymore it is a performance truck site-all brands. I wouldnt of really cared that much if this was just a LS1 truck site but it isnt it is now truck ***** site. Tell me this why didnt they just make this a LS1 truck site instead of a any truck site? $$$$$$$$ and I dont blame them but why lie about it?
