Casper Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I've been thinking about consolidating the meetings and events section down into just one forum. I think this would be a good idea because most everyone on here goes somewhere else for events anyways. Take the covered bridge ride and the waterfalls ride as example. They were in NE Ohio, but people from all over went. And people from all over the state go on Fonzie's rides. It really isn't separated, so I don't think the meetings and events should be either. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Probably whatever is easiest for you guys to manage in my eyes. I basically just hit new posts and end up reading most of everything anyway. It takes about all of 10secs to figure out where the ride is happening if its not already in the subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Keep the region forums. ^What IP said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about all of 10secs to figure out where the ride is happening if its not already in the subjectThat's the other thing I've been noticing as well. Hardly anybody actually goes into the forums. Most just click on links in new posts or off the front page. We could free up a lot of real estate on the forum listing if we just get rid of the regional forums and make one meetings and events forum.

jj1 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think it is helpfull to know where in the state said event is being held... quicker to see if there is something in your area.If you combine would there be sub-forums for each area? (like in Off-Topic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I would separate the section into 2 categories: BP and Shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 uhh.. what?Like MotoGP, the Kentucky rides, the DTC rides to BFE, the rides out west, etc. Just because we all (well most) live in Ohio, doesn't mean we only do things in Ohio.

RVTPilot Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Whatever is easiest to manage and takes up less space. If there's wasted space out there, get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheezle Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I like it divided up, easier to distinguish where the event is. All in all it's up to our wonderful dictator known as Casper. So get to it Casper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 *shrug* I'm indifferent, but if you move everything together please enforce the title requirements.

I know I click from the New Posts but I look to see what forum it is in too.Most of the time here recently, I've been just hitting th efront page for new threads, but when there are a lot of rides being organized, I tend to go to the region page to see what's up, and what rides I'm not going on. Maybe next year I'll get out to more rides.Anyway, as long as there's a location in the title, I'm cool with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
