Why No General Section Aka Lounge?

[Mean Green z28]

It used to be there in the older forums where you can talk about anything non-automotive related but every section in the new forums is automotive and most people are just picking any forum (usually the others section in the specific makes) to post unrelated stuff ... am I the only one who misses a Lounge?

ur rite there is no 'general' section...hence post whoring in the 'others' section

[fuzzo]

yes we definitely need a lounge..although the lack of one is in no way deterring the post-whoring

Yep it's bit messed up, lot of unrelated topics everywhere....we need to do some changes in the forum structure…Duncan and myself did the current structure in a bit of a rush…so there might be some mistakes here and there. Anyway guys shall we do a small brainstorming session and come up with some new forum structure which is convenient for all of us..? hay Mean Green, many tx for bringing this up.!!

*** feel free to edit the current forum structure stated below or come up with something new…

[Mean Green z28]

i dont know how well this would work but going through the post in the already available sections, many of them within a section can be converted to one. And the last section on my list is for hangouts, meets, etc. 'cos nobody wants to go through 5 different sections to get a post that he/she knows belongs in a certain section.
