Tinkerton Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Simple to suggest, probably a nightmare to implement. Split the technical forum into two seperate subforums (excluding projects/pistols) and have quite simply 'electrical' and 'mechanical', then the relevant threads moved into the correct forum. Electrical subforum for all electrics, batteries, chargers, mosfets, wiring, etc etc etc mechanical for gears, compression, springs and the like. Just an idea. Thoughts? Tink.

DrKalinka Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 "My AEG wont cycle? Why? Weak battery/broken whatever?" Where do you place that? Otherwise i like it. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 well for those situations you can use the existing non subforum forum. if that makes sense. then, once the cuase has been identified, it can be moved. Failing that, an 'other' category, as well. i just think it could clean up the forum a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
DrKalinka Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Another thing. There aren't that many electrical problems that can happen with an AEG. It is a pretty simple circuit. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 but, there are a lot of electrical technical questions. about batteries, chargers, mosfets, trigger swtichs, motors, etc etc etc (yes, i'd class motors as electrical and not mechanical) Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Moving all of those threads would take an absolute age and be highly annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 And more than likely, no one would use the subforums. There are almost one or two new threads a day regarding handguns that are not posted in the handgun subforum. Link to post Share on other sites
A Tobias Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 "My AEG wont cycle? Why? Weak battery/broken whatever?" Where do you place that? Otherwise i like it. Most people post topics like this in the newbie discussion forum anyway. Good suggestion, but almost impossible to implement without archiving all of the old topics and starting anew.

Marlowe Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm afraid I'm with popular opinion here. I already think the forum has a lot of unecessary sections (see 'The Game') which confuse matters considerably. If it weren't for the fact previous Admins had implemented them, I'd be inclined to merge a lot of sections. Link to post Share on other sites
