Simplification

[ScottCash]

Hey man, first of all thanks for putting this site up and monitoring/moderating it. I know it must be a lot of work. I think it is truly a great place for like minded Mustang owners to gather. Since I am a newb here I just thought some outside perspective might be good. I am a member on another forum that is dedicated to home audio recording. It is a very successful site. Hundreds of posts a day from all over the world. I think the key reason for this is that there are only 6 "sub" forums. When there aren't as many places for people to go, everyone gets funneled into a couple of main forums which leads to very organic conversations. I think I counted over 50 sub forums here which kind of compartmentalizes the experience.
The best way I can think of it is if you went to a party and there were a bunch of rooms with only 2-3 people in them as opposed to a room with 300 people, you would want to go to the room with 300 people. I think you would get much more traction.

I appreciate the feedback!

However Mach1Club is not intended to be a huge member site. My goal is not to have millions of users. I want quality of members not quantity.

I have downsized the topics a lot from when this site first started. The problem with only having a site that is a message board is that making changes is not that easy. Even upgrading a message board with newer version releases is a PITA. If I was a website building genius there are lots of things I would do differently, but my ability is limited and paying a designer isn't realistic.

I'm totally open to change.

I appreciate your interest in the site and I hope you would continue to contribute here. Its the members that make the best part of this site.

I have to admit though that I'm very thrilled with the progress of this site to this point.

If it is difficult to follow along here sometimes, please look to the right of the forums and you will see latest threads
This covers the last 45 posts added to the forums, making it easier to follow along.

I rarely look at the individual forums. I just click on "new posts" or use the search too if I looking for something specific. But I agree that sometimes "less" is better.
