I have been a member of many forums since the early 2000s and I thoroughly enjoy them as they are usually the best source for information on any particular subject. This site is no different. The wealth of knowledge and information posted here is second to none as we have been updated and seem to know more than dealers and any other source or website featuring our Ford Mavericks. I consider myself to be a very active member and post and read as much as I can.
I do notice one glaring problem, at least its been a very big problem for me while using this message board.
WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY Categories and sub-categories and content is being moved too fast. I understand this is my opinion but I'm sure many will agree. I think the powers that be could really trim down and combine many of the categories and sub-categories here. I have never seen moderators work so quickly to move posts into their category. The mods are working fast and I applaud them for their effort, but stuff is being lost in the fray and buried. I'm on here a lot and I am missing many posts. Not everyone has the time and ability to search every single category and sub -category. I see so many good quality threads trending in general stop because they get moved and buried where nobody will find them unless they do detailed searches which often take a lot of time and require a lot of work to find what you are looking for. I understand wanting to keep everything organized but I think we are going too far here. I have seen the same things ruin other message-boards I have been a member on.
My suggestion to the moderators would be to try and combine many of the categories and sub-categories here. Look at the member marketplace section. It only really needs one category, for now. Many categories in TECH can easily be combined too. Maybe we can let a lot more posts ride it out in the general section for 24 hours before they get moved off, never to be seen again especially if the topic is getting a good amount of hits but falls off the trending, latest post section.
I'm not trying to rant or tell anyone how to run their website. I just feel many here like myself are missing so much content because it gets buried in the mess.
What are other people's thoughts?
I put thus in general but I'm sure this will probably be moved off to the garbage section somewhere lol.....
