New sub-forum for clothes, grooming, shoes, fashion etc

[13m]

Can we have one please so we don't need to trouble the Lounge with matters of vanity?

I don't think we should.

Although it depends on the aims of the forum. If it's meant to be a "motoring" forum, then no.

As having a new forum section for non motoring stuff, simply dilutes the overall forums motoring content. It will also potentially attract new members who are not interesting in motoring at all. Which then runs the risk of making motoring topics less worthwhile, as you get more and more non "Piston Head" type people commenting in them.

There are plenty of other places on the internet to discuss other topics. A specialised forum shouldn't try and cater for everything. Because it then isn't a specialised forum.

It's not just a motoring forum by any means. Here are some of the sub-forums we have already:

All Creatures Great & Small

Boats, Planes & Trains

Books and Literature

Business

Video Games

Computers, Gadgets & Stuff

Food, Drink & Restaurants

Health Matters

Holidays & Travel

Finance

Home Cinema & Hi-Fi

Homes, Gardens and DIY

TV, Film & Radio

Jobs & Employment Matters

News, Politics & Economics

Pedal Powered

Photography & Video

Scale Models

Sports

Football

Tents, Caravans & Motorhomes

Music

Watches

The Lounge


By adding a "Matters of vanity" forum isn't going to dilute the motoring content. It just means that chat about hair cuts / shoes / fashion / etc etc don't end up in the Lounge.

I'm sure we can create one for you

Great!

Can we be clear that it isn't JUST for me, however.

No, I just can't wait to see pages and pages of those bloody dull Adidas trainers that cost hundreds of pounds...

It's okay, we'll ban arsenalmorris.

Shaving belongs in the Lounge, surely?

I can think of no context in which that sentence is correct.

Any progress with this please Ollie?
