The HU 4wd Forum and what does it need to make better?

[Grant Johnson]

I'm TRYING to be real... I DID say SOME consensus... maybe not much but I'll take what I can get! And yes I DO know you guys!

I see two options thus far - twobob and rich both have ideas - I think Rich has taken twobobs ideas and added/tweaked. Let's hear some opinions on them. I confess I like where Rich has gone with the list, but my opinion here doesn't count for much, it's what you guys want / need.

"too granular" - yes this can be an issue. I have tended to wait till a forum is getting significant traffic before splitting it up - not sure if that's the right way to go, but there's nothing worse than a forum with three posts!

Moving threads is a BIG job for a moderator, AND is an issue with bookmarks and links form other sites and google, so the less we move stuff the better. We can leave a permanent redirect where needed, so we don't have the issue but hundreds of redirects sucks too.

"Bush Mechanics" - we have this on the mc side, "Bodgers Forum" so sure.

Makes some sense to replicate the Repair Forums section from the mc side here too. I think. there is a small argument that ANY shop could be useful if needed in really remote areas.
