ZenMastaT Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 This isn't so much a suggestion as a query. I've always been curious why a site as big as Arnie's, and as seemingly popular, never bothered to divide its "General Airsoft Discussion" into the more commonly seen GBB/AEG/Classic/Springer sub-forums typically seen on many other sites. While some places seem to have gone overboard in that regard (ASR) it seems like it would be helpful at keeping active topics on the front page longer. And besides, I like secluding myself in the GBB section and being entirely closed minded about AEGs and everything else in the airsoft world. Its hard to do that here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Good idea. It'd be handy for classifying types of airsoft weapon instead of:- "I want some info Blah Blah... Colt 45" "Umm springer or gas?..." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Sounds like a good idea. Suggestions for subdivisions then? Something like this? Gas (would cover nbb, gbb and classics) Spring (would cover springers, rifles and shotguns) Electric (would cover EBBs and AEGs) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Me thinks EBB should go in the springer collection, as all the retailers put their EBB's in the springer section (well, used to. Like Zero One and RedWolf) So would those three subdivisions go in General, Technical AND Newbie? Or would that be too much and extra 9 subdivisions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hmm I don't want to over divide things, that just makes stuff difficult to read and find. I could add subsections to the Technical and General - no need for newbie subsecitons, as true newbies wouldn't use them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 (edited) Tp be honest I'd just put the subs in the Technical section as most of the threads are questions about AEG's/Springers/GBB's yeah? *Editted due to spelling.

ZenMastaT Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hmm... the way I envisioned it was as its own little block of forums, seperate from General and technical, though that might indeed be a bit of an overlap. Maybe I'll have to actually poke my head into the Technical forum and see what all the hub-bub is about in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 My suggestion is: AEG --> General --> Technical GBB --> General --> Technical Everything Else Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZenMastaT Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I like the above most of all the suggestions so far, though I'm not sure the AEG and GBB sections would really need subdivisions for technical and general within them, is there really that much forums traffic to deal with?

TaQ Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 My suggestion is: AEG --> General --> Technical GBB --> General --> Technical Everything Else <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What about Springers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 probably in everything else i imagine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAKKOO Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I honestly think that keeping things simple is the best, threads are easier to find and navegate. Please let's not over kill... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I personally don't see a problem with the way things are. If there is to be a division between types, it might be better in the Technical area. The General Discussion area is just that - General. New models, guns people want, questions about BBs, clothing, retailers and accessories. The lines between AEG and GBB, etc... here are blurred at best. In the Technical section however, most posts are questions about a specific bit of kit, so the "type" division may work. I don't see that this forum gets enough posts to warrant it at the moment though. Just my 2 pence worth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
