A "3Si Lounge" forum would be nice to get rid of all of the OT stuff in the areas where we're concerned with the cars, not the women Neo has conned into stripping on the hood of his car
Excellent idea. Please add a Turbo and N/A forum while you're at it.Alan92RTTT said:I'm considering adding an Off Topic Forum. I would like to know what everyone thinks.
I am not trying to curb the amout of OT posts or encourage them. All I'm trying to do is reduce some of the traffic in the main forum.
As A test I posted a post(and closed it) to see how far a post would go in 24 hours if un replied to.
How far? It landed at the end of the fourth page.
I figure OT posts are a good place to start for trying to organize things better.

I was going to make a suggestion to Alan but that is exactly what I thought it would do so I decided not to. I know there are quite a few people like me who would rather not post off-topic posts in an off-topic forum like the "3Si - General 3si related" forum. If you made a specific off-topic forum you will get a lot more traffic. Or you can heavily moderate it and/or make strict rules for it. I also think it's a good idea.Trevor said:Sounds like a good idea to me. Only concern I can think of is getting more OT stuff by non 3/S owners slowing down the board and increasing traffic. I really doubt that will be a problem though. Like I said...good idea.
That's not a bad point, I think people have their preferences as to which forum each read. With me, it's a quick glance at the FAQ, the misc. forum is most of the time, and the occassional glance at the Modifications forum.Ajabs said:lets not segregate it any more than it already is. If we have OT there will be a split in people accessing each forum and therefore less people sharing ideas. I like it the way it is now.
