New forums or sub-forums?

Or taking Alec's point on board...

Audax, Sportives, and Road Racing and Rides, Clubs, and Events

I agree. There does seem to be a lot of overlap as how things are now.

One idea I have for a sub forum is differing bits of the country seem to be getting their own official branches of cycle chat - LHCCC, West Yorks, Scotland etc and wondered at some point whether they might do better being segregated or herded into Rides, Clubs and Events?

I think the Electric Cafe is weirdly managed. People have threads on what tvs, Wiis come up a lot but only a few of them seem to have made it into the Electric Cafe.

Can we have a crèche for the kids?

 

[Young Un]

Yeah and a little room for joe to say who he loves

I'd go along with the above and the 'less is more' ethos. This isn't yacf.

indeed it isn't. but we shouldn't be doing/not doing things just because other forums do/don't. you could dress this place up like yacf but it would still be different.

Another vote here for "less is more", please (wot Fab Foodie said).

 

[Dave5N]

I'm with Fab Foodie on this, I quite like the clutter.

I use the cyclo-cross forum but wouldn't be that bothered if you want to move it.

Perhaps a sub-forum in P & L entitled 'Unreasoned Rightwing Bigotry'?

You are the kids - or is that what you meant?

 

[Young Un]

I sujested a kids section on another forum I was on and got shot down straight away.

can we have a bit for all the senile old buggers?

Loving the sub-forums icons

Pretty much what I meant (with you goading him)!!

 

[Young Un]

I've had enough of Joe and his stupid 'you love me' and winding up antics - so I am just leaving him alone And letting Radius have a turn in the ring for a bit.

Sorry, I meant that I never really got on with the very organised and subdivided style of acf/yacf, even though I like yacf. I appreciate that the style and clientelle here are different but I still wouldn't want further prissy organisation.

So you're saying there's a certain attraction to an eclectic forum style?

For me yes! Most of my life is eclectic, I'm poorly organised, my desk's a mess, I have no filing systems anywhere that function but I managed to find some sembelance of order in Chaos. My hundreds of CD's and albums are in random order, I soon find the ones I want and in the search find gems I'd long forgotten I had. My brain kinda works the same way, it's triggered by random things, it connects random observations and ideas... it's maybe why I'm happy in creative development/trouble-shooting mode where organised thought is not always the most useful kind... I'm rambling now...

Most forums I've seen do seem to migrate towards ever smaller and smaller divisions and sub sets... it just makes them tedious to navigate around... I prefer 1 big party to lots of little private ones!

... hang on a moment though... a LLB and Mr Paul section might be good
