MODERATOR - Need for addition forum sections in AUS/NZ Area. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Toy86 · 06-22-2012, 11:30 AM

Starting a POLL vote for the moderators to see..

Please KEEP ON TOPIC and vote

I believe there is a need for the AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND Sub forum to be further divided. I understand there is already sections implemented for these needs, but they are basically all for US/Canada Mod Shops & Parts, and in turn not relevant to our needs

Some examples :

- General Discussion
- Mechanical
- Exterior
- Cruises

These are just some idea's but I'm almost certain I'm not alone when I say our area is cluster f**ked with crap everywhere.

I have sent a PM to Forum Administrator requesting him to monitor poll results.. So please have your say. Cheers guys

FT-86GOD · 06-22-2012, 11:53 AM

done

Just purchase your own board for locals IMO.

os86 · 06-22-2012, 12:12 PM

guys, IMO this forum is based in the US and to integrate other subforums for different countries might be a little tricky.

we do have a local Aussie forum where there will plenty of stuff going on in the coming months, we just had out first meet on Wednesday night @ Doncaster , VIC

sign up @ www.ozft86.com.au

lets support our local AU forums

As I stated also in another thread, it is a cluster fuck in this sub category section. There is about 10 threads on the same topic also.
I agree and completely for the organization of this section.

I agree I will use this forum aswell, But this is our central HUB. It has been since day one. I dont want to have to always be swapping back in fourth between 2 forums just to get the info i need? Its painful

I am in the same boat as you, I do end up spending more time on this forum just to learn more and more about the car, but eventually when we organise meets, dyno days, cruises it will be better managed on our AU forums.

Plus we need more members on the AUS forums, so please join and support.

Just a reference, this is how the Aussie's section of a US based golf forum is organised. I think something like this work well:

Good luck, I sent a pm to hachi a month ago now regarding just this..
We do need it

Nardi330 · 06-22-2012, 08:50 PM

And you never got a reply?

I really like to stay as it all started here but we may have to visit a local forum as well if this doesn't get the go ahead.

JiB · 06-22-2012, 09:51 PM

I like this place

the colour scheme is nice :P
If we cant get sub-forums, maybe just stickies? our current stickies arnt that useful anymore anyways, so it wouldnt clutter it up

70NYD · 06-22-2012, 10:08 PM

Oh I got a reply from the moderators, just not the admin, and hachis word is final.
