Great idea, VC!

TC - I never have any problem whatsoever with posts/topics getting moved because the system always notifies.

But this place came about because of the post's getting moved on the other forum. Yes i understand they where getting moved to a more general section and on here we cant move them away from the Mk5  :love:
But people just dont like seeing a thread locked sign even if its just a moved to here one.
Its kind of like the rolling road threads, it sets off something in peoples genes.  :chicken:
I personally agree, i would like to see separate sections for the stuff VC mentioned and i am sure when PG gets back he can sort something out. I am always very conscious of how this pace originated and why, and it would be nice as the sight grows to avoid the big brother controlling everything feel.
I remember when PG was saying come on lets start a forum, and i was very unsure, and he just said " we will just set it up and let the member's get on with it. This one sentence is what convinced me to help him out with the idea.  :smiley:

Without resurrecting all the past arguments/debates/discussions, I would suggest that it wasn't so much the moving of threads but the friction between some people which resulted in the act of thread moving merely being 'the last straw' and an excuse to kick off.

This site (to date) has none of those undercurrents or clashes.

I think you can get around this possible problem by posting an in-yer-face Please Note that you are thinking of doing this and the good reasons why and say you hope that no members will take it personally but it's for everyone's benefit.

Otherwise you'll never change anything and the site won't evolve to it's own best benefit [sorry for poor English but must dash!]

VC:
wouldn't want any pressure on the mods tho with regards to moving things as thats unfair. the moving wouldnt be necessasry if you just maybe left it to the others to post in the right places as they do now and soon the content found inside will drive the threads into the right areas as people make new ones

but i agree its totally cool the way things are too, and keeping it simple

was only a passing thought, don't wanna make waves with people making forum comparisons  :ashamed:

....

I think that when you sign up to any forum, you sign up your acceptance that the Mods and Administrators have the absolute right to rearrange the site as they think fit.

Whatever the Mods do, they can never please all the people all of the time. Too many people are resistant to any kind of change irrespective of whether it's to their benefit or not - Comfortably numb!

If this site isn't prepared to accept natural changes, the tail will wag the dog and it will probably gradually become an unwieldy monster over time. Then you'll wake up one morning and wish you'd done differently.

The American GOLFMKV site has the same sort of divisions we are considering in this topic here and it works very well - Clean and simple and easy to navigate/check what you want when you want.

WhiteGTI:
I doubt that doing this would cause conflict amongst this forum like it did on the 'other forum'. As people say above, the conflict over there was due to many other reasons, and the movement of topics was just the 'icing on the cake'.

Great idea VC, it gets my vote  :happy2:
