TIME TO DIVIDE THE PORSCHE FORUMS????

[audi321]

Don't shoot me for suggesting, but is it time to divide the Porsche forum up into models (i.e. 911/Boxster/etc)

Just a thought, but it's getting really busy now and it's getting hard to track the forum posts that you want to, especially if you're away from the computer for a day! (Page 3!)

Most other makes on the forum have done this (TVR, etc) - Ha.....that's going to cause arguements!

There used to be a separate Boxster forum , IIRC not many posts caused it to be combined with the main Porsche one.

Seems a good idea now though.
How about
Newer models 996/997/Boxster etc
911 air cooled
Old front engined 924/944/968/928

Air Cooled & Water Cooled models would be enough of a split IMO.

I agree.

Whats the weather like at home?? 28 degrees here...nice for this time of year.

I agree with Martin with 2 additions:
- General
- Turbo
- 996/997/Boxster/CGT +
- Air Cooled 911
- Front Engined (924/944/968/928 etc)

No offense, but this big combined general forum is so full of junk that I can't keep up either

Yes one forum for GT3's and then another section for all the boring ones. Excellent idea.....

Didn't there used to be a dedicated Gt3 forum, before they all went off to buy BMW's?

Easy-er split would be front / mid-engined & Beetle derived models

[clubsport]

It's been tried before on PH, didn't seem to work so it reverted back to current configuration...I doubt they will try the experiment again?

[audi321]

IMO the split should be:

1. 911 Pre 996
2. 911 Post 996
3. Boxster
4. Others (i.e. Cayman, Cayenne, etc)

Thoughts???

[paultje]

Surely some of the best ( longest) threads have been across all models. By splitting us up there would no longer be the cross threading of banter ( oil v water cooled, front v rear engine etc....) that's where all the fun is!!

[Fittster]

I don't see enough non-911 threads to see dividing the forum to be worthwhile.

[martin thomas]

I think it works fine how it is it gets too quiet when sub divided. just look at the gt3 forum on pcgb

The Boxster and Other forums wouldn't get enough traffic to work. There was a Boxster forum and it was merged back into the general Porsche forum due to lack of posts. I can't see why it would work now when it failed before.

[anonymous-user]

quite right; an aircooled forum and a financed up to the eyeballs forum


actually i like it as it is

[AL001]

1. GT3/GT2/RS/CGT
2. Other Porsches
3. Polishers

[Ultra Violent]

1) Inside M25
2) Outside M25

Should do it...

[dazren]

As mentioned it has been tried before with a Boxster section which didn't take off. If people have queries specific to a certain model, providing they specify the model at the beginning of the title, people with knowledge of the model will normally take a look.

How about Tiptronic lovers in one forum and the rest of us in another.
