Ok, I didnt read through this entire thread but here is my 2 cents.
I understand the need to make information more organized and more easily accessible. But, I am a frequent user on the forum and dont want to have to skim through a ton of different sub forums to see what has been going on for the day. I am interested in all things snowmobile, so I dont want to have to go through every sub forum to see what questions people are asking about different sleds, etc. What should be remembered is that it is us, the frequent users, that spend the bulk of the money spent with the advertisers on these forums, so I do expect to be catered to somewhat.
How about you leave the main forum as it was before, where you log into the Skidoo section and you see every thread that has been posted about Skidoo. But, when a new thread is posted have a simple way that the poster indicates what sled that thread is about or it is categorized another way. Be it XP, Rev, ZX, S or whatever. Then you can tie this back into the search function to make it more useful. This would accomplish the goal of making information more easily accessible but not overclutter the forum.
As I said before, I understand the issue that is trying to be solved. I just feel that this is the wrong way of going about it. I dont spend much time on Doo Talk, largely because it is hard to see what all threads are being posted. I like to see what is going on, but dont want to take all day to do so.
If you could categorize the threads into different groups to help the search function that would be great, but breaking the main, open type forum up to do so does not sit well with me.
Just my 2 cents and I didnt read through the thread to see if this has been covered yet.
