A way to avoid this in the future would be to add a few more specific sections for car & un-car related events and unofficial gatherings. Such as a 'front porch' for WS; 'back porch' for NWS. That way everyone can post everything else related to our lives and the club if we so choose. This is just a suggestion, but I have seen it on other car forums and sites. It seems to help keep things more organized and on topic. Remember, there are more to our lives than just these cars. Not much more for some of us, but there is more to talk about between friends here in the club.
Hey Joe,
This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. I agree totally with what you said. I think the unofficial events and stuff you mentioned above would fit great in the "General Chat" forum. Since W3SI doesn't have a huge amount of traffic it probably doesn't need any extra forums.
I also like what Bryan said about the NWS labeling. I think that is important. But on the flip side, I would hope that not a huge number of things need that labeling, but I've done it myself on other messageboards.
My comments aren't about causing more drama, its about fixing things.
Thanks Joe for some very constructive ideas.
later,
Curt
