Default Sub-Forums

First I would like to say I love the fish and this suggestion could help for maybe some ease of use, and slight organization. What I was thinking about is maybe a sub-forum for certain popular longboard companies like Loaded, Landyachtz, Earthwing, Rayne, ect. I think this would help in a couple ways. Each sub-forum would be able to have stickies about important or frequently requested information regarding the companies and their products. I think it would also reduce clutter in the general longboard forum, on any given day, there is usually a few Dervish questions. I think it would help, just a suggestion though.
best vibes,
Maxx

good idea, but what happens when loaded ihas it's own forum and comet, or lets say insect does not? (just an example)
the smaller companies might feel left out. the only way to make this fair is if the companies had to pay for the forums, so each company could choose whether they want to or not, so it isn't just the bigger companies.

I would say that's good! We could name it borg space and that way it would be easy to ignore/avoid.

I mean its something to consider, but the fish is owned privately (I think), and it would be the owners discretion as to which companies would get enough traffic to have their own forum. For the smaller companies they can have threads in general, like the Kracked Skulls thread. As for the companies paying, I don't think companies would care enough to pay.

Bottom line is we don't want to separate things down into micro-forums.

Nothing is worse than going on a forum and seeing the last post was from 1438bc.

Could the forums be active and mod-regulated?

That is really what it comes down to.

Yeah man I definately get your point, but there are also several companies that you know will get good traffic daily. Like I said it was just a suggestion. Thanks for the replies guys,
