Not everything is credited. For example, the author of the JK Lightbar Install is not listed. The photo of my Jeep is uncredited. The problem here is taking something that isn't yours and using it without permission. I think the authors, dates, and links to the original threads of these writeups and photos needs to be given at the top, at a bare minimum. Although the layout of the site is nice, and the how-to parts of the threads are distilled out to make the information easy to access, it seems as if this information was copied rather than linked. The problem with this site model is that copies don't evolve. For example, if I made a how-to writeup, but later discovered a problem, I could go back to LOST and edit my post to fix it. Or someone else could discover a problem with my writeup and post that, and we could have a conversation to fix it, and improve upon it. This would not be possible if my first post was copied and the out of date version lived on another site that I could not edit. Although LOST and JeepForum aren't as visually appealing, their content is alive because the authors can create and edit it themselves. One other thought: there are Google ads on the site, so while the site isn't selling anything per se, the person who owns it gets income when people click on those adds. My

This web is simple, friendly, and pretty, and I like it.
