every state have a thread

[CTR Coupe]

the worst thing about having different sections for different states is that you'll only talk to people from your state and won't get to know those in other states unless they have a really nice car

like VIC ppl wont know many syd ppl unless u have a car like nico's NSX

with the current ozhonda system we're talking to people all around oz rather than just ur neck of the woods. it is in the end OZhonda not NSWhonda or HURSTVILLEhonda

That’s what I love about this forum everyone is all together. I wouldn’t have time to read some of the technical, lounge and an extra state sub forum.

.. from my point of view.. if it counts, it might be nice just to have spotted, events and help on mechanical like for those people who always post on the lounge asking "where in xx state can i get my exhaust, sound, xxx installed etc" and that these particular types of threads as a guideline, im not asking for a "lounge" type section, but something strictly car related which would be better answered by people in that state. it wouldnt take away from the lounge but rather clean it up abit by gettin less threads which are unrelatable to the whole OH community

Gotta agree with sass,add 5 forums for the major states,2x events forums get moved to states forum,therefore adding only 3 forums in effect with the the post counts also in effect staying the same.All up just tidier IMO and more relevant.

On the other hand im not expecting anyone to do the work involved in achieving this,as i think a great job is done by all already.
Everyone does have a strong argument for not breaking up the community further though......

EDIT:Common marketplace is fine how it is with the above mentioned [NSW]etc added,but buyers/sellers i think should be held more accountable for keeping their threads updated with sold/please close comments,if not auto close in 4 weeks or something like.

It sounds like Qball & [N] will put their hands up for mod duties anyway.........
(lol at Qball change of tone when pretty girl steps in)

*waits for Q & [N] onslaught*

Jesus! How bad does QBALL wanna be a mod!!!

[panda[cRx]]

leave it as is!!!!!!!!
i still havent seen a good enough reason to change it.

marketplace is fine as is, i wouldnt want to have to search state by state for
the part i am after.

lounge is fine as it's 90% offtopic jibberish anyway

events is fine if you structure thread titles as instructed ie:
"[MELB] calder park drags - sunday 28th, May 2006"

i think having state by state sections will do nothing but divide the community more and make it harder to navigate

[vtec_jet]

agreed with panda!! ...

ur best post ever panda hahaha

[dc2dc2dc2]

i agree with jigga man !

[wynode]

i agree with jigga man !

Do you mean panda? Because i can't see any user called 'jigga man' in this thread

ANyways.....like someone said I think one of the good things is that by not having state specific forums people are more aware on what goes on in other states also.

Jesus! How bad does QBALL wanna be a mod!!!

So you're sayin that posting constructively means that i want to be a mod?
What's the point in posting something like that!!
Get over it is all i have to say!

[vtec_jet]

sumbordy struk a nerve in Q_buzz ... LOL

leave it tha way it izz gawwddd..... we r like family why seperate us haha

[wynode]

In the Events forums......if everyone consitently used [SYD] [VIC] [NSW] etc I can possibly put a link on the forum index page which will bring up threads that have these in their title.

Basically it does a search of the thread title for the above. However if the letters don't match (eg [SYDD]) It won't work.

Jesus! How bad does QBALL wanna be a mod!!!

Oh and another thing, its not about hjow much i wanna be mod or not, im quite happy being a normal user without the hassles of moderating thank u very much - its about posting up my reasons for believing that the forums should stay as it is without this suggested implementation!
Simple!
