Yes I was and to a certain extend still am, a believer in the "one large bucket" type of forum. I like simple things that tend to go well with my simple brain
and as far as a general discussion type forum I think a single large bucket is the best way to go. But this forum has grown far beyond my expectations and it's frequented by people who are both logical and knowledgeable and well up to the task of using the correct sections for their posts. So you might say that as far a this forum is concerned I have changed my mind
Mind you, the "Down to business" section could be used to post links to businesses such as the suppliers of springs but I think the new "Connections" section can be used to post links to other interesting websites as well, not just to suppliers' websites.
Now don't get me started on the FMC forum! Everyone was asking for multiple sections and now they have them they don't like them and "for sale" and "events" postings end up in "General discussion". Someone even posted in "General Discussion" telling people he put a car for sale in the "For sale and wanted" section!
There's a lot of changes happening on the FMC so maybe someone else will take over the website and forum....
