MODERATOR - Need for addition forum sections in AUS/NZ Area.

[70NYD]

Yep. Hence why I didn't respond in the other thread from a few weeks back :p

[Rudiger]

Poll seems a bit redundant, but yes some sub-sections would be nice!

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

Just had a look at that AU forum, saw the white 86 and well.... the moment I saw the "illest" sticker on the dash my heart smashed into a million pieces. To each and their own i guess.

Car is mechanically identical world wide so I hardly see why we need our own private sub forum for this. Same goes for exterior.

Any events can be handled with a sticky IMO. you want to sub divide the board for Aussies, make a dedicated Aussie site.

I dont believe we need a tonne of subforums, but we do at least need a moderator who can merge threads as that seems to be the biggest issue. I agree that all social stuff is going to naturally be conducted on the aus forum and I dont see an issue with this since most of us here are over there anyway.

My idea was to have state specific sub forums for organizing cruises etc.. Makes it easier to see

[Mr.Ferret]

Also with the way our road laws work its probably best to have a separate mod section, something road legal in the US isn't necessarily road legal here

I love the simplicity of ft86club.com, I have been a member here for quite some time as-well, just reading other users experiences etc.

The sub forums should more so cover:

General
Technical/Mechanical
Interior/Exterior
Projects
Cruises (each state should have a seperate sub forum)

That is all that is really required. Maybe a for sale for parts etc aswell.

I don't think we need tech forum here. We need a sub forum for meet and one for buy/sale/group buy and that's enough.

I don't agree with 1 subforum per state as that's too many. Many aussie forums only have 1 subforum for all events across Australia. The most recent events will always be on top (or sticky them) and u don't really have lots of events happening at the same time per state.

[70NYD]

Then we perhaps just need a dedicated moderator? As we can then just sticky stuff

Excluding cruises and maaaaybe projects, there is nothing on your list that isn't better posted in the worldwide subforums that already exist for such topics.

When posting information or initiating discussion about the car, you want to share this with the largest audience possible. Having a mechanical or an exterior section for Aussies only just further fragments your audience and reduces participation or the chance of getting your question answered. However with buying parts or organizing meets, you want to fine tune your coverage to a smaller audience.

The au/nz subforum is satisfactory for news and general stuff. A simple stickied thread for each state would cover events and the inevitable "spotted" posts. At the very most, a "for sale" forum is maybe worthwhile, but in my opinion the localized stuff may be better suited to the other Australian forum floating around.
