Pistonheads, why is the Porsche forum one general tab?
Discussion
Can we get some agreement that the Porsche thread would be much improved if it were to have sub-headings? Perhaps if we could have something similar to the Pistonheads Classifieds with sub folders for 996, 997, 991, pre-71, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, etc. The forum currently has over 780,000 individual posts, split into nearly 2500 pages featuring 20 individual topics each (2500x20=50,000 Porsche related topics) all under the main heading of Porsche, whilst even the Mini forum which is split into Old Mini and New Mini has only 40,000 posts in total.
We also need the search function to be improved as if I search 'Porsche 996' then the search function only brings back 17 out of 50,000 Porsche specific topics that either have Porsche 996 featuring in the title or at some point throughout the thread.
If anybody reads this and agrees please either comment or +1 it so we can get some support behind it.
Thanks,
Matt

disagree - leave it as is... err.. and how long have you been on PH exactly to demand this change 
As a contributor 8 months, as a reader approximately 5 years or so 
it's just been brought into my spotlight as I'm looking to purchase after Christmas and I'm currently going through the process of trying to read every item and view every picture that is available online... For people such as myself that like to read topics on every possible type of car this change would make no difference, the topics for Cayennes, Caymans and Audi R8's ( ) would still be available, but there comes a time when most people are after a specific model designation and it must be said that the Pistonheads forum has all the information but no way to find it (*Now waits for someone to point out the search button having not read my original post...*). Well that was fun whilst it lasted. Topic moved to "website feedback" where I highly doubt any of the Porsche forum contributors which it directly concerned will see it........
Seeing as this thread has Porsche in the title, is specifically regarding the Porsche forum and looking for feedback from the Porsche contributors why was it moved? Its not website feedback, its Porsche forum feedback.

Porsche stuff lives in the Porsche subforum, stuff about the website lives in the website feedback subforum. Maybe we should split this one down?

I like it as is. It's a pretty unique place for Porsche fans regardless of model.
I know a fair bit about 964s having owned one for 5 years so I can often answer questions on it when one comes up one PH, but I wouldn't go looking into a 964 sub forum.
There are plenty of other forums which cater for individual models like 911uk, Rennlist etc.
