Derf Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 How about:Carving Community - the general stuff Places - everything to do with resorts, including what people have been calling the "ride board". Racing - everything about racing I guess Off-topic - all that talk about sex and guns and cars and bikes Classifieds - buying and selling stuff Photo Contest - duh. So that's really just adding three forums - "racing", "places" and "offtopic". But that's unlikely to thin out the "Carving Community" too much, so it might not satisfy the original aim. But it wouldn't cause too much harm either. I think you really got it down, so I second what you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Dang, sorry I missed this, it was on page 4 ;) Just a heads up for you guys, actually we are working on some new forums and a slightly better organized format. We will be adding some new forums but I have to agree with some of the opinions here, it is possible to divide a forum up too much and then the conversations become harder to keep track of and participation starts to suffer. But we are seeing some very high traffic on the forum and we do feel the pressure to address it. If you had to pick just one new forum category to add what would it be?

bobdea Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 say if it were the one that is most needed it would be OT that way some of the on topic threads that don't get many looks would possibly get more looks and take longer to get lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dold Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hey Fin, I agree with Bob, I would add "Off-topic" and leave it for awhile and see how it goes. That's a good way to divide the board up because new carvers looking for carving discussions can get straight to it, and these people usually don't want to be bothered with off-topic stuff until they've been here awhile. If I don't "check in" for a couple of days, there are often two pages of new stuff . I think most people who want to leave it as-is are here a couple of times a day or more.

trailertrash Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i agree with the ot thread, that would help. also, i use this link as a bookmark: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/search.php?do=getnew that way when i hit the site i only see stuff that is new since my last visit.

Steve Dold Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Criminy! After I left that last message, I got up, took a shower, watched a Green Acres episode on DVD, and came back and there are 19 new messages and this topic has dropped to the bottom of the "New posts" page! No wonder some topics get forgotten, even when active They scroll off so fast. I am amazed how active this forum is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDY_2_Carve Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I would like to see an OT sub-forum and a Resorts sub-forum. Other than that it's fine the way it is. Perpahs we could break down the classifieds into sub-catogories (like hardbooter.com)? It's kinda nice if your just looking for boards and not bindings, boots, etc. Perhaps have Boots/Bindings/Boards/Package Deals/Misc.? Realisitically though there's not much traffic in the classifieds so this may be overkill as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ghostrider Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 ;) Just keeping this at the top I'd say an OT thread of sorts would also be a good start. I don't know how I feel about what to do with a topic in the wrong forum though... I kinda think it should be left alone..i can see it getting really confusing to look for a thread that was moved. Leave it on the honor system..if it gets out of control, let somebody start a new thread in the other topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_x Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I suggest taking Carving Community and dividing it into two forums. You could call one "The Art of Carving" and the other would be for gear, resorts, meet ups, and it could also handle all off-topic posts. Otherwise keep it as it is.

garyj Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Simple is better. I like the salad bowl format, where you can pick out what you want to eat and digest before going the next item without navigating all over the place. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
