Car section?

[_Iain_]

I know, Bike forum.

Binge had a cool project thread in Offroad & another interesting one about his van, there's been a few help questions asked in workshop. Few bits in random banter and a few show & tell thingys.

Few examples;

https://www.bikechatforums.com/google.php?q=car+alert

Rather than "CAR ALERT" tags on threads, why don't we shove them all in one place much like the Cycling forum?

What say?

It's bad enough there is a Lycra clad section. Want car chat? Go to car forums, there are plenty of them.

See, this is why I feel the forum might benifit from it.

If all the car shit was contained in one subsection, those not interested in the slightest could simply not visit. I mean for those not interested - Wouldn't you prefer browsing for Last post wins without seeing "What car" or project threads? Going in the workshop & not seeing "CAR ALERT" every few weeks? If it's all in one place you can simply turn it off can't you? - just like I've turned off everything other than the SE section & the UK national. I don't see a need to know what's going on in Scotland/Midlands etc.

Positives

Anti car BCFers get an option to turn off car threads.

BCFers with cage interests, problems or projects can pop in and view, get assistance with their winter hacks and get help from those who give a shit without irritating the rest of the forum.

Negatives

???????

Win/win isn't it? I mean we're always gonna have car questions on here as most bike nuts will spend loads on having a posh bike & have an absolute shitter of a car for use when it's absolutely needed. Shit cars break down lots & with Winter coming there's only going to be more cage threads as per last year.

And so begins the transformation of BCF from a motorbike & bullshit forum to a Overclockers style forum where everyone is catered for.

Piss off Ian.

Only cool car shit is posted about in random banter etc etc.
If BCF ends up getting a car section, you will get every dickhead posting about their mums prius.

At a push, might be worth having a "Car" subsection of The Workshop.

It's bike forum and should stay at that. If you start adding loads of random sections then your no better than facebook

Was trying to think of people that actually post interesting stuff with their cars - will accept demonoid and Tommy maybe. Can't think of anything else I've seen of particular interest.

(Ie not, tarting, nor driving slowly in mud ).

From me.

Car related threads need to kept quarantined. I don't drive and the thought of accidently clicking on a car related thread on BCF makes me feel physically sick.
