suggestion

How about a sub section/thread for general chit chat/spam based on location.
Say a Newcastle NSW chit chat thread, a sydney chit chat thread, a brisbane chit chat thread etc....
Many other car enthusiasts forums do this, why not Ozhonda. Therefore when us Newcastle folk just want to chat, we can, without haveing to scroll through the pages of the main spam thread.

Thanks
Felix

the problem with that is every major town in Aus will want one, syd, newcastle, wollongong, brisbane, gold coast, melbourne, hobart etc etc

it would just totally clutter the whole forum

[Q_ball]

You know what the problem is with that, every single city/town in Australia would want one.
Impossible.

Well is it soo hard to make a singular thread one for each major town.... Maybe like 15threads in total...

[dc2dc2dc2]

its not hard at all...its more about clutter. If u wana talk to people in newcastle area so badly go make a channel in mIRC or something like that. :)
As panda said...this was discussed a while back also, i think regaurding a QLD only spam thread.

i dun see the need for it....

as its hard enf for mod to control forum as it is... more sub forum = more control....

[Felix]

ok....

Just thourght it would make things easier and cause less spam in other sections.
I know that many other forums started this and it worked great.

[quangsta]

well if its just a thread whats the difference to a spam thread and any other useless thread? mb not a subforum...i think thread will b ok ofcourse up to the mods though

Are you talking about sub-forums for different states or something else ?

No just a spam thread.

[wynode]

Maybe a thread for each state......but instead of having them ALL as stickies just have one sticky with a link to the spam threads (they're always getting replied to anyways)?

Something for the lounge mods to sort out :)

I thought the SPAM thread was NSWelshmen only? :p

Yes something like this would be good. But each state would still make the NSW one full of crap and too hard to sort through (especially with some of the stuck up sydney folk :) )

wont work. Ozhonda is dedicated to the honda enthusiast ~ not to everyone sitting at work with something to do on their breaks. This is a info database and not a waste of bandwidth :) Lets keep the "SPAM" to a minimum dont u agree ?

[Q_ball]

^Agreed BseriesPLZ!

Be thankful that we even have a medium to spam and pass the time at work.
We dont wanna turn this into a spamming forum.

Dont want to shake the boat, but it has been this for at least the past year now...

Well its what we do with the situation at hand that counts.
Trying to better the situation is better than contributing to a dyin cause imo :)

[wynode]

Felix, if that is the case do you honestly think we would even bother increasing the number of SPAM threads (although they are in the off topic area?)
