Title: Request for model specific sub-forums
Post by: Shieldze1025 on October 28, 2013, 02:36:21 PM
First I'd like to apologize if this has been brought up, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

As much as I love this site, I spend more time searching for my specific build model than actually reading posts.  Searching for 796, m796, or 2012 doesn't help much at all.  Monster models and numbers are used so much that searching for it brings up hundreds of threads. 

Is there any way we could make subforums for different years and models?  Every forum I'm on- be it cars or bikes- always has build specific sub forums.  Or am I the only one who cares...?

I would think there are too many models. Why don't you start "The Official 2012 796 thread"

I personally don't like the sub-forums like the other monster site. Feels like segregation with way too many sub-catatories. It's nice having everybody in the same bathtub.

Here's my thinking...

They're all Ducs, and all subject to the same shortcomings and upgrades/mods. This is a community, not a reference library.

Like I told my doctor...just because your blood pressure box says 120/70 doesn't mean I want to fit into it. I hate boxes.

The answer is it isn't gonna happen.  ;D

Well that answers that, thanks guys  :P

I understand and agree with everyone, and yes it is nice to have everyone in one place for coversations.  Although this isn't a "reference library", I think everyone can agree that it's the best place to go for reference when it comes to our bikes. 

or I could just trust the dealership for all my questions  [bang]

maybe there's some compromise?

I don't know what's available in SMF, but is there a way to add a category to a message so you can search/filter by that category?

say like check boxes with the model, or general tech issues (clutch, brakes, electrical, etc)?

Compromise?  On whether it's a bird or an eagle?

If you put them on a treadmill, will they take off?

I'll go with the eagle takes off, but the bird does not.

But I still want to know what it represents.

Not available

SMF search works much like any other with key words being the only factor.

It all depends on how detailed the original post was, and how many of the keywords are used in a search.
