Porsche forum changes
Discussion
I like the Porsche forum split. I can dip into the Classics and Front Engined sections, which are the main Porsche areas I'm interested in. As people have pointed out endless times - if you want to read the forum the old way, just select Porsche:
Personally LED rear lights, the 991 GT3, Turbo S, 996 C4S, 996 RS, 911s in ski resorts, Cayman/Boxster S do not interest me enough to read the threads. Great cars, but not topics I want to read about.

I wish there was an option to hide the forum column on the right hand side...Personally LED rear lights, the 991 GT3, Turbo S, 996 C4S, 996 RS, 911s in ski resorts, Cayman/Boxster S do not interest me enough to read the threads. Great cars, but not topics I want to read about.

Thanks to Ric for nudging me on this, I'm very forgetful now I've passed 40.
I do want keep this as it is for now, with the encouragement being to use just the general thread if that is what you prefer. Like a friend of a friend at a party you don't like, just ignore them.
While the sub-sections aren't (and never will be) as popular they are attracting the odd post and prove to be useful to some. I guess I could name a few forums across the site where traffic is low (sat navs, advanced driving, some of the one-make sections) but they continue even with low use.
Yes we started as a TVR (in the main) site so I take the point on board that the TVR section will always work better split out that way, but nowadays Porsche, BMW and Aston are the most popular and in time the news. classified and forums will work together better providing a better platform for fans of those cars.
Is it a case that I don't listen? No not at all, I just want this to be available as an option even if it withers and dies in 2014 through chronic lack of use. As it stands we haven't seen (honestly) a loss of traffic, in terms of page views, to the Porsche area. Comments we'll add as a measure to our analytics. If it does drop and wither, so be it I was wrong. If it manages to survive in a lowly fashion in the shadows of PG then fine.

Fair response, lets see how it pans out...I do want keep this as it is for now, with the encouragement being to use just the general thread if that is what you prefer. Like a friend of a friend at a party you don't like, just ignore them.

G - Any chance of a review next week?
Bar the odd picture or potential GT3 owner thread there doesn't appear to be much value to be had in the specific forum.
What are you analytics saying?
From the recent poll there still appears to be majority appetite to merge it back.
