Traffic. Most car forums only have a fraction of active uses that SN does.

If all the admins remove the threads on the basis of alleged legal proceedings then search engines won't reveal Gary's shady past.
This was my thinking, you only have to mention the word court and SN will start to panic, rightly so.

And the amount of relevant words that the webcrawlers harvest.

A search on 'Subaru' finds er.... 'Subaru'.
A search on 'Subaru Widetrack Blob' finds 'Subaru Widetrack Blob' and puts it (them) at the top of the list, any two of the words next, any of the words next etc. etc. (roughly speaking).

SN would get included in just about any car search - how many makes and models are mentioned herein?

Last week's CP thread was different because the op asked for it to come down, both feet having been shot to ribbons.
Presumably this one would only have offending posts removed, given the caveat at the very bottom.

I never knew about this particular thread, case etc. but I do now.
Looks like CP's handed the gun to someone else

Virtually the same happened to a good friend building his ultimate Scoob....done over by a well known tuner who used to be on here all the time.

My mate eventually ended up bankrupt over it.
