Oh! :o I didn't even think of online contests. I meant r/l contests...

I'd like to see subforums. Especially one about Scratchbuilding/customizing.

Iknow.....but with 4 mods on here it will be only 65 pages each ...lol

I really think alot of stuff can be deleted out...might take a while though

So you mean moderators actually have to do WORK? Who woulda thunk! :finger:

[primera man]

UPDATE...How's this ??

Sub forum idea...

General Questions About Modeling
Questions About...Painting/Priming and Detailing
New Projects And Updates
Finished Projects
Contests/Shows/Meets/Conventions


The classified and FAQ will stay in General

hi, being one of the newer members to the forum, i think a subforum could be a good idea. it 's hard to keep up with new threads.
maybe as mental suggested.
cheers B :ylsuper

Indeed splitting the forum would be a good idea. Too many posts to catch up a days worth.

Am with Pman on deleting some of the threads - but, I guess there's a lot of work involved and who's to say what needs to go and what stays. But, then again there are the really useless posts which can go.

It will have to come down to common sence amoung the mods as to what will stay and go

i think is the idea of sub-forums, is not a bad idea, but if there are going to be sub-forums, they should only be like, progress/how to's/ painting, we shouldnt get too detailed in the subforums, also it woiuld be hard to keepp track of making a new thread in the correct sub-forum, thus MORE WORK FOR THE MODS

Just a thought, wouldn't most of the questions someone would ask in 'General Questions About Modeling', have something to do with Painting etc? I think 1 questions page would seem enough to start with, and maybe add a Sub-Forum with something to do with customising?

ill voulenteer for a moderater "job"

[primera man]

In general there would still be plenty of other questions like Lowering/exhaust's/wheels/bodykits/sanding/Where to buy stuff etc etc

I agree that most questions will be in painting, but it will be easy to find from other threads

[mentel]

Hey P-Man, if we get this stuff up and running let me know if you guys need additional help moving threads and what not

[njh]

I feel that if there are sub-forums, there shouldn't be too manyt too.

Maybe we can have like:

General (e.g. new kits coming out, new kits which you got, FAQ, Classified, Meets, Contests, Shows)
Customising (e.g. Scratch-building, lowering, exhaust, decals)
"How To" (e.g. P-man and other's "how to" paint windows, polishing etc...)
Projects (progress and completed)

Just my suggestion.

I agree with most that a few* sub-forums should be in place, however it should not take away from the overall experience of the modeling forum as is. Too many sub-forums could be overkill IMHO.

Being a newbie, I think this is a good idea.
