just my 2 cents on creating more sub-forums?
i regularly visit performaneforums and probably waste too much time on msefi.com than i should (but i'm a big fan of it).
I think they're both probably starting to suffer from an overubundance of topic areas. Subject areas have become so stratified that it requires too much browsing of sub-forums or fruitless searching to locate interesting topics. I end up only viewing a small section of both sites as other sections have a too much content hat i'm not interested in.
The best feature of msefi.com is the "success stories" section (which neatly lists all the megasquirt installs that are running, sorted by make of car) - it's moderated to prevent post-whoring and relies on mods to post the info, but it lets you quickly collect information and links about cars or installs.
If perhaps the "members rides" could be self moderated but restricted posting - and a similar section created for useful technical threads or singular posts.
So..if the forum or mod thinks an article should have a long life, users don't have to rely on the search tool.
Technically, this might benefit the server performance as locked threads/sections might either be cached by the database (if frequently called) or could live in a different database (or even external flat file) further reducing latency times of other rquests.
i think this is a great site as it allows and encourages a great deal of input and quite thorough (and usually postive) criticism - i'd hate for these pluses to be somehow lost in a site revamp.
btw: i like the modding this site gets, and that at most times a cogent reason is provided for closed off threads defusing further argument ... and you let most of Cool1's more harsher (yet somehow amusing) posts thru.
cheers,
charles
