Website categories/ topics/ sections

[TIPSP]

We have the main categories “mechanical” “classified” “general” and “meta” and all of those have sub categories. We have two options under “mechanical”, for discussions about anything under the sun. The project thread section was moved to this main mechanical category during the server change over. Over the past several years though, there seems to be a lot of threads that are not either posted in to correct location or run off topic for any number of reason ( maybe because of the category they are started in?).

Do you think it would be better to have a few more separate categories to help with declutterring the only two real areas people are posting new threads? Maybe the categories can be revised or reworded so people can post in the correct location?

I’m seeing a lot of non performance or modification thread in that section.

For example, make an engine swap category and move all discussion about swaps to that area. Maybe put the engine swap section about the other three so it’s first on the website. I get some people are new to forums and don’t know where everything is, some people just so up once ask a question but post it where they have the easiest time, usually right under the first category link they have.

I understand it would be a lot of back work so…

I talked with Dana about this years ago. The decision was made to keep it simple.
