This is already on the cards and should be in place by next week, along with a couple of other housekeeping forum tweaks.

Could we add "listening to music while riding" either as a separate sub forum or perhaps "controversial subjects" forum embracing both the current suspects.
No it doesn't!
Oh yes it does!
( or should I say room 12A)*

Hi Shaun
I think there is a danger in creating ever more sub-fora, especially for the important debates - like helmets.
As a mainly P&L and occasional Racing user - but a dipper elsewhere - I have learned a lot.
Putting contencious subjects like helmets into ghettos I feel will stiffle debate.
The unique problem with the "Helmet Debate" is that there is never any end to it; threads start with the best of intentions but almost universally degenerate into a circular tit-for-tat and never come to any useful agreement or conclusion.
They were bouncing up and down the first pages of various fora and otherwise making a nuisance of themselves - a distraction that is now cirumvented by creating a "pool" of threads to play with; a combined helmet knowledge-base that is easily referenced.
I am aware that diluting the forum too much is counter productive, and always take time to consider such moves. For example, I've been wondering about merging the off-topic forums - cafe and P&L and Electric Cafe - into one, busier, Off-topic area, but it's not as simple a proposition as you might initially imagine!!
Like the helmet debates, CC is a work-in-progress ...

What!I am aware that diluting the forum too much is counter productive, and always take time to consider such moves.

Maybe there is no need for a separate Electric Cafe, but there certainly is one for P&L which is why you created it in the first place! We recently had Over The Hill get very upset and leave after some not-so-friendly P&L banter and I wouldn't like that kind of thing to become a regular part of Cafe!
I'm not merging them, but it illustrates why I take time and consider changes before making them.
I don't want to spread CC too thinly, but when certain areas or subjects overlap and jostle for position it is sometimes useful to create sub-forums and separate them for ease of use.

on a similar note to that of the op, it might be useful to have a bin for all the compact/triple arguments too…
thanks for the tip! I'm there........
