Looks like a good plan, I agree less sub-forums will be better.

Look at it this way if we try something and it sucks or doesn't work we can always change it back or improve on it now that we have an active admin.

the fewer the better, im too lazy to read through multiple subforums. more important than subforums in my opinion is those threads that mods make that stick at the top of the list, maybe one or two of those explaining basic things, like posting pics, searching forums, or frequently asked topics, things along those lines...

The General, Tech, Performance sub-forums are a great idea but I would still sticky the same FAQ in all of them.

This is from a thread where I am batting around adding sub forums as well, do you think that the camero forum would work well with a setup like this?

Okay, from what I gather, it sounds like its best to do the following:

When you click on the DSM forum it will open up an there will be listed at the top the sub forums.

1. Performance (Engine/Drivetrain/Suspension)
2. Non-Peformance (Interior/Exterior)
3. Problem Diagnosis

Then below will be the regular posting area like it is now. Essentially we are turning the main forum into the newb talk, off topic sub forum. Then there will be the specific subforums.

What do you guys think?

Give it a go, we can always make changes as needed.

[Chevyracincamaro]

strictly out of curiosity, will the forum be down for any extended period of time during the restructuring?

[Shortbus]

There should be no downtime. The new forums will be created seamlessly and turned on when they are setup and ready to go.

good deal

[aves911]

Alright, I'll throw up an announcement about the new subforums before I put them up so everyone knows whats going one. But if you guys that have been posting in this thread, mods and members, can kinda point the other members towards using the new forums and to help avoid confusion that would be a huge benefit.

Thanks,

We talked about this a few months ago and I still say once we (the camaro guys) do this we will be just like all the other forums out there. We'll have people replying go look in the FAQ's instead of just answering the question at hand. So what if someone asks a question thats been asked 100 times before, we've always answered them before and should keep things the way they are/were. Remember guys were the Camaro forum not all the rest, thats why were the best here in AF. Lets keep it the way its always been, its more user freindlly and fun that way .............................

you know, I never thought about it like that tardster, and what you said makes a lot of sense.

[89IROC&RS]

well, made this unsticky cuz we have the sub forums now, but remember guys, this is a trial run, if it dosnt work, or if the majority dosnt like it, we can always change it back.
