just to take this more seriously, I can see a time when post grow that it willbe necessary to sub divide the model sections of the forum, this will make sense as the posts increase for several reasons including:
1 you would not have to wade through yards of other posts to find the things you are looking for
2 it will encourage owners of individual models to be more specific particularly with help requsts that are model specific,
3 it will make the site/ forum more attractive to individual model owners.
so the sub division idea, which i understand would not be too difficult to arrange, does merit some thought and discussion.
I would (and do on p1) read all the posts about any model but it (sub divisions) would enable those who dont want to look at 928 stuff but do want to post or read some thing tech about a 924 to have a much easier idea of where that post will be. This would be particularly true for new users.
In summary i think we will all agree that the change to slightly more sub divisions for models will have to come, if it is as easy to achieve as I am led to believe then it really should be something we think about doing asap as delay will lead to confusion and change is always scary.
I also think that the sub division idea should be done dealt with done soon to ensure that a division which must come does not come a a point where it is difficult to handle
I do realise that we cannot sub bivide Ad nausem but is the 928 different to the 944 family? the 964 is radically diff to the sc and the 993 another world. Perhaps Pre impact ,impact bumper, and post impact bumper air cooled? 924 944 968, 928 by itself (?) I cant see where else it fits.
or is it possible to have the subdivisions within the bigger headings? ie
911 water cooled
996
997
911: air coolled. divided into
pre impact
Impact
Post impact
Front engined
924
944
968
928
this could apply to all the other model areas of the forum mid engined = cayman, boxster etc and gives a little more specivity to the posts. feel free to shoot me down in flames but i do think we need to think about these things NOW and not later.
