LamborghiniChat moving back to own community

Does anyone have feedback for subforums that you would like to see? We like keeping the number of forums down to a minimum, so my first ideas are:

Classifieds
General
Technical
Off topic
Subscribed Private/Owner

Additional (maybes): Racing, Vintage, Model specific?

Let us know your thoughts!

 

Will there be an "old theme" option? (hint - hint, wink-wink)

 

I'd suggest model sub forums just as Fchat is now.

 

Some users get very flustered when something is posted in the wrong thread / forum section so I think it's best to separate from the start. And yes, the idea of changing it later will certainly cause a lot of drama later

 

That is better answered by Joe or one of the other experts.

 

Not an expert, just a few thoughts. We don't get much traffic beyond the Diablo, so it might take a moment to get some traction on anything not vintage, as far as separate sections. I like the idea of a separate classified section. It would be nice if an unsubscribed user could post in it as well. I delete many that would/ could be useful to the rest & it might help push things forward & increase membership. Possibly break it up with a classified section, a general Lamborghini news chat area, then newer cars followed by the vintage, using the Diablo as the beginning of that section.

 

Does anyone worry that traffic will drop due to passerby’s not passing by through the fchat forums anymore? We don’t want to end up like some of the other dedicated lmbo forums. We have a nice vintage thing going on here that fits within FChat nicely. Just a thought.

 

forums are a relic of days past

3 categories
technical archive
general discussion
for sale

or break it out to every model with sub sections for technical and chat etc.. and have many sections sit on zero activity for months/years.

 

I think a Lambo Chat could work.

 

Personally I like being able to go from Ferrari chat to Lamborghini chat seemlessly along with all the other sub forums. I am not in favor of anything that will complicate that. I do not want to log into two separate forums with two separate memberships. Personally I am not not interested in the changes proposed but I am also not sure I understand exactly what you have in mind.

Cheers Jim

 

Quite true.

Though it's "fun" moving thousands upon thousands of threads, especially when they're vaguely titled.

Carbon McCoy's were a nightmare - "What is this?" [link to something, oftentimes dead] x 100+. VenusOne would only post to General Discussion - which meant El Wayne explaining the concept of categories to Venus & her not caring a whit. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum.

But I've never noticed the Lambo Crew being the same as those two examples - which means LC is already off to a good restart.

"The pheasants are beneath me." - SoCal to az
"I have very few pet peeves in life . . . " - PeterS
"Change is inedible" - fc2

 

Rob, while you're at it... Can searching within a forum be made easier? Like every other forum, just having the pulldown on top of the forum in question. It's a PITA right now. Thank you.

 

Agreed.

I only have time for one forum, and I specialize in both Ferrari Supercars (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo) and classic Lamborghini Supercars (Miura, Countach) so the current setup suits me and I have no desire to have to log in twice or deal with anything complicated. I fall into the camp of not being a fan of changes that may or may not be better than the status quo.

I also think it's essential that the world-renowned resource threads that have been built up with hard work & dedication over the last decade or so for the Miura and the Countach are maintained as-is, and from a personal standpoint, the ability to contribute useful technical/historical/market/current information to those threads is a big part of the reason why I am here.

Lamborghini Supercars
- Miura
- Countach
- Diablo
- Murcielago
- Aventador

Lamborghini Front-engined
- 350/400 GT
- Islero
- Espada
- Jarama
- LM002
- Urus

Lamborghini V8
- Urraco
- Silhouette
- Jalpa

Lamborghini V10
- Gallardo
- Huracan

 

Subdivision by category adds complexity and unnecessarily subdivides the community. Just stick with the current format and improve the search facility...

 

Probably a dumb question but what the hell

So, once the split, Fchat will no longer have a Lambo section? I ask because Fchat does have sections for other makes

Does Lambo Talk have enough traffic that you think will migrate over? I've only been on Lambo Talk a couple of times.

 

But...but Joe....where is the Urus ?!

 

It's there
