Is it just me or do others feel that there are too many forums on this website?. Too spread out? :)
I dont get a chance to trawl through half of them:rolleyes:

Yeah, actually I agree with you.
I think the reason for it though is that Neil (bless him :) ) has just tried to accomodate members requests over the years for specific interest forums.
If I were God I'd cull quite a few of them. :D :D :D
i reckon its good - you can ignore the stuff you dont like - or just view new posts!!
cheers
Just do New Posts, as at the top of the page.
Al :)
I usually enter through a "getnew" search so I don't have look through individual forums. With the number of threads getting posted here though, I don't think it's a bad idea to have a bit of segregation, should make it easier to find info on a specific topic.
It's not that there are too many forums, just too many people posting to them!
In many ways they are a victim of their own success, which is both good and sad (rather than bad).
There was a time when we could come back once a week, and be appalled that we had almost two hundred threads to read. Now that happens in an hour! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Maybe we need one more new forum just to come back to now and then for old time's sake!!
P
:D :D :D
I just close down the freakier ones with that elipsie arrow thing so I only see the ones I like.
I mean, dont go near those freaky boat builders, and dont
get me started on those weirdo whittlers:rolleyes:
:D
I find I'm scanning the forum more, reading less, and replying even lesser. Great for Neil, I think :confused: but I agree this place is a victim of its own success.
You need more time to get used to it. That’s all.:cool:
One more thing. Whenever you see a thread contains the word "Friday", don't open it. I repeat do not open it. :D
I also check who posted the last thread so see if I'll bother ;)
New posts is the way to go, read what interests you ignore the others, we all get different satisfaction and have a great group of moderators who sacrifice their lives for us.
Use it how you need to but do share when you can
lol if it's BennyLaird ?:D :DQuote:

It really depends on how you use the forum.
For instance, I don't do "display new posts" because then I'd have to scan a whole lot of stuff I'm not interested in.
The way I do it is to go to the forum home page and cherry pick those forums I'm intrested in. Within those, I pick the threads I want to read.
Maybe I miss some info but I figure that that's the price I pay for not having to scan stuff that I have no interest in.
If I were God, there'd be no more than 12 eparate forums.
Aren't you lucky that you have Neil instead. :D
