Guest bassman7755 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 OK I love this site BUT the thing that I find frustrating is that there are sooo many forums. Is there any scope for some rationalisation ? for example collectively the review forums get a handful of posts a week so wouldnt it better to just have one review forum ?. Even on the Gear discussion side, I'm not sure theres enough traffic to merit seperate forums. I probably miss alot of interesting posts purely because I dont have the time or inclination to open the dozen relevent forums every time I log on. What do people think ?

Big_Stu Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I've just had to wait a couple of minutes for it to open at all from the home page into any forum. Whether that's because there's almost 500 people looking right now, or whether it's too many forums I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If you think there's too many forums (fora? ) take a look at Talkbass..... And currently, there's a big wait for anything. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think it's just right tbh, I know exactly where to look for what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 FWIW, the way I use BC means the number of sub-forums is irrelevant to me. The only time I look for a specific forum is when I'm perusing the for sale areas. Other than that, it's 'view new posts' or the search function.

stef030 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) not that experienced too in forum amounts being a old giffer and all, but it seems fine for me Edited September 19, 2011 by stef030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I don't read every 'new topic' anyway - the topic title tells me if I'm likely to be interested or be able to contribute if it's a specific question.

TimR Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 It's now called "View New Content" and there's a whole new host of options to filter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 After being on other forums, i would say this is just about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Usually just look at latest posts, unless im after something specific, or bored and looking for a topic to waffle on. So about right i'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Wow. I had no idea that so many people just look at new posts. eg I have no interest in DB or EUB so I wouldn't venture into that forum. I go to whatever forum I am interested in going to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
