(07 May 2020, 9:58 am)Storx wrote I seen a few people don't like not having the latest news threads (which personally I disagree with). Just a quick suggestion which might make the forum run a bit better and it's the best of both worlds.
Instead of having a forum for GNE, Arriva, Stagecoach and Other Operators a better option could be to have general forums instead such as the following:
It just makes more sense as most the discussion could be multi operator anyway but they got lost in the wrong forum such as NSA's, new route ideas, coronavirus chat just for example.
- North East Buses Discussion (Anything which doesn't fit one of the below)
- Vehicles and Infrastructure (Anything about vehicles, NSA's etc)
- Allocations and Timetables (Anything about new timetables, and allocation of buses - rare workings etc).
- Fantasy and Speculation (Anything about people's ideas - new Streetdecks for the X21 or whatever or rumoured discussion - I heard from my father's friend who knows a bus driver chat)
- Local Events
- Bygone Era
You'd then also have a new Megachat thread for each of the big 3 within the North East Buses Discussion for things which don't deserve their own thread such as asking why older buses are used on the X30 etc which keeps those happy who prefer a big thread and keeps the number of threads down.
The sort of thread which maybe gets one answer (if we are lucky), but sits there for ever and day.
I think that's why dedicated threads are needed.
No disrespect at all the OP at all (https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showt...p?tid=2433), but how often is there going to be chat about the AB4? Does it need its own thread?
I can remember when there was all sorts of problems with people creating random threads or sometimes duplicates of something already similar. That was quickly stamped down on by mods.
