Would you like sub-forums in UK to help clean up threads?

I agree, subsections are essential. Without them it is just too much hassel to sort the wheat from the chaff. If you want to see how it can work visit http://bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpForum/index.php . I've chosen a non-real car related forum so that there is not any conflict of interest or self-promotion.

It really can help when you have a very active forum (seems to have gone a bit quite here though recently!)

Looks like an overwhelming vote for yes - is it going to happen ?

Is this likely to happen , looks like most people said yes.

Of more concern to me is what's going to bring the regulars back onto the board ? I personally will not be joining up to 3 or 4 other forums in order to stay in touch and try and keep track of news. Seems to me that the situation with Rob/SteveF is still unresolved. I personally think that whilst Rob's position was somewhat offensive that the over-reaction by the UK F-chat community seems equally OTT. I can't work out what folk's think is achieved by staying away ! Hell Rob's probably pleased , less moderating and much less disk storage required for the tons of material ( brekkie pics !! ) regularly posted in the UK forum.

Come on folks lets get back to business.

I've now voted yes, as the vast majority has. It is the only way that all parties can be kept happy. Allow the OT stuff, but in its own section. Have another section for meets and other events and a third for Ferrari/ car related topics. That should be enough.

This would keep the UK forum clean for owner, sponsors and users alike.

The sooner the better Rob - where are you?

 

Yes please. It works well on other forums I frequent.

 

Rob,

I'd like to ask that we do it sooner rather than later. It will be far easier for the mods to start moving posts around whilst it is quiet.

The poll result speaks for itself, so give us something good to build on.....

 

What is the status on this plan ? As the UK is quiet at the moment may be a good time to implement. I don't think we need more than 3 or 4 sections - maybe General Ferrari topic , Off topic, Dealers, Meetings/track days

I think its going to be implemented in a couple of weeks, along with a few other things to kick start the UK section back into life......if you have any thoughts on this I'm sure that Rob and Stig would appreciate some positive ideas

 

Rob,

The amount of activity was not a caveat to the vote. The result was Yes. It seems starnge to me that you should ask what we want and then when we decide you ignore the result. I appreciate what you are saying but feel that this could be deemed as autocratic behaviour which fuels the feelings of those no longer posting here. If you set up the sub forums people may come back over time.

Just a thought - not an attack .

Ken

 

ROb

Just 3 please

Ferrari Only related
Off Topic
Events/ Meets

 

And maybe one for Parts, Services and Specialist's just for recomendations of people not for complaining

 

How about just leaving it at

Ferrari chat
Off Topic
Events

 

Rob , this may be a way of bringing activity back ! This looks awfully like you asking for an opinion and then deciding to do things your way regardless of what people said.

Agreed keep it simple

 

Rob

the new sub forums work well, thanks

 

Feels weird; it'll take a bit of getting used to.

Thanks for sorting it out, Rob.
