Re-organizing the forums

[hayden]

I agree that there are too many different sub forums. One way to consolidate would be to collaps all the manufacturer-specific foums into a single forum for that manufacturer. So instead of having a serparate Buying and Owning forum for each brand, just have a single forum for everything specific to that brand. That would cut the number way back. And there are several other groups that I think coudl be consolidated. Liek have a single Vintage forum rather than 3. And have a single Construction Equipment forum and fold in the Skid Steer and Excavator forums. I think this would have little negative impact on daily useage, while reducing the number of forums by perhaps 20-30%.

And if everyone would stop adding to all the threads and stop reading them there wouldn't be any reason to do anything.

They have a tractor.

Keep it to yourself.
If you feel like shoot'n the sh-t go down to the co-op or old folks home.

We have a ton of sub forums, but often, its hard to find one that fits the topic. Related Topics/Rural living are basically the catch all.

I don't think the "feature" of an op to "moderate" a thread is a good idea ...

I never use the "new post" stuff or bother with the marketplace spamming ...

I agree that a lot could be lumped together ... All of less popular "brands/labels" could be lumped in together, same with antiques and lawn tractors too ... I don't see a reason for 5 areas in John Deere ...

While I have figured out where the different brands are that I'm interested in ... Maybe alphabetical order would be better?

Muhammad do you remember what happened the last time you made changes?

Maybe I instead the OP (or Moderate) could have an option of a "Resolved" tag to the thread title, when it has ran its coarse.

The ones where back in 2018, a guy needed a tire size, 5 or 10 comments back then, and randomly (not sure how they even ran across it) in 2026, someone pops up with the answer
