The problem: The General Chat area is getting more and more crowded.
Option 1: Do nothing, just leave it alone.
Option 2: Split it into "Bike Chat" and "Off Topic". This is, after all, supposed to be a bike forum.
Option 3: Split it into several specific areas, if you vote for this option you also need to suggest what those areas should be!

I think just split it in to general bike related chat and other off topic mumblings otherwise we could end up with too many 'chat' areas. ____________________ Suzuki RF 600 - The two wheeled Testarossa (Deceased)

Bike and off topic sounds like a good idea, general chat is becoming a bit unreadable of late just due to the volume of threads and replies being posted. ____________________ Gallery |

Makes sense and will stop the "awww but no one talks about bikes in here" people moaning. |

I voted wrong, sorry, I meant into bikes and off topic, not specific!
There is a lot of stuff in general chat these days that I either don't want to read or see a full page containing new threads and just hit mark all topics read, I doubt I would do this as much if it was in 2 seperate sections. |

Actually, the more I think on it, the less I like the idea. The forum is still not too busy to handle, and look at workshop/new bikers - how often do you read them? How will a thread which starts about bikes but goes general be treated? Or vice versa? Maybe introduce some cute little bike icons or something so people can mark the bike threads.
I say leave it be, and rethink the FAQ forum cos it's a mess. I'll volunteer to sort it out if no-one else is going to, as it could be a valuable resource. I have ideas... |

FAQ forum does need sorting. I'd be okay doing that as it gives me something to do if nothing else.
Chances are, the more different forums there are, the more threads will get posted in the wrong place and then need to be moved by the moderators to the correct place. Would be interesting to perhaps try it for a week or two then see how that goes to see if it's a good way for the forum to run. |

I say leave it as it is.
I think we have enough different sections on the forum, it just becomes a pain in the ass if you have too many.

Hmm I'm having 2nd thoughts on my vote. I originally said leave it as it is. There are quite a few sections as it is.
But the one thing that does seem to be a problem is that only a days worth of topics seem to be on the first page. I don't know about any of you lot, but I never click to see what's on the 2nd page. So someone that could have a vital answer to a topic you created might well miss it just because they are away for one day. ____________________ Honda NSR125R -> Suzuki GSXR400R GK76a -> Kawasaki ZX636 B1H -> Honda CBR400RR NC29 -> Nothing |

I think you should Split them as i'm generally not interested in the Non bike topics , So would make it easier to filter through |

Does work the way it is, but I reckon it would work better split as I said. Reckon the best way to decide/ find out would be to try it for a week or two, can put it back after if it doesn't work or can keep it if it works. |

Well splitting it up is just giving us another page of stuff to read, what happens then if these two become very cluttered, then we have a big problem!
On the other hand it does need sorting, I vote for the non existent pole of "General chat" and "Post your crap in here" option !
