New Forum Topic Added

Weird but I'm not sure what my own opinion is anymore.

Seems to me having large homgenous sections kind of makes sense particularly for a smaller forum such as this.

Lets say for example, I have a question about a Moreland truck (a California truck builder from the early 20th century), now you would think its easy enough I should ask in the truck section. However that is really going to limit how many people see the post and there is a good chance that nobody who checks the truck section will know the answer, but there could be someone in the general section who really isn't interested in truck models that see's my post and happens to have a brother who is into 1-1 antique trucks.

If we start to break down the site into sections where do you draw the lines?

Do we want a site with 27 sections for every possible type of model, but each only gets 2-3 posts a week? Or use a little selective clicking to only open posts who's titles interest us?

On the one hand by including different sections it sort of implies the magazine is interested in those subjects and may attract those interested in the area of modelling, on the other hand it starts to divide the community into camps.

I guess I would say come up with 5-6 large encompassing groups, for example, factory stock, commercial, racing, sports cars, and custom (yes including Donks), or get rid of the specific categories and let everyone share the same handful of groups general, work bench & display case.

Not saying either concept is right or wrong just that the mostly generic areas with a couple of specific areas does seem to be stirring up problems and understandably causes some to feel left out.
