Hello everyone,While I am finding this thread quite amusing, I'm going to try and address the serious side of it.I do agree that the general BS threads should be allowed to flourish, as they will. However, IMHO they exist solely for entertainment purposes, nothing more. As Joe mentioned, it will be next to impossible to find anything on these "club" threads, and frankly, who wants to wade through 16 pages of chatter to pick up something useful?I also strongly feel there should be some more division to the MRRing headings. The fact that "General Discussion" goes 3 or more pages deep in a day testifies to this need.I don't think it would be a good idea to separate by scale because it would be too easy to miss some good stuff that's really not scale specific anyway. But a few more categories would be helpful. Maybe add:Electronics & Train Control (From DC to DCC, Signal Systems, Computer Control, Wiring, etc.)Layout Planning & Design (Advice on track planning and various design theory tips & tidbits.)Operation (Prototype operation; from the yard to the mainline and everything in between.)While these might tap Layouts and Layout Building some, I think they would primarily thin the General Discussion category and give the reader a bit more intuition when looking for specific topics. (And maybe keep some more interesting & productive stuff near the top.)Just a thought...BTW: Dave, I missed that thread altogether, must've got pushed to the back before I saw it. Will check it out though - looks good!
