Default Boating Forum?

Is there enough demand on AW to add a boating forum? Could we give it a go?

I would love to gather some input from other AW boat owners/restorers/enthusiasts.

That could be an interesting forum. I'd definitely partake.

Default STOP the segregation...Off Topic is Off Topic....anything goes

even politics should be ok in OT (outside of election cycles)

If you are going to keep segregating the forums, may as well and add a 13 year old **** forum. That's 90% of what AWOT has become.

Default i sort of agree with you, but the problem is the format is too fast-paced

Many of the AWOT threads are out-dated in a matter of an hour or two, so starting long/ongoing discussions is difficult at best. One of the advantages of separate forums for various topics is it slows things down - fewer people are starting threads, so the existing threads stay active for much longer, which stimulates greater participation in each event. Isn't that why people are always posting for day-crew and night-crew? They know that by the time the "night-crew" comes on, the "day-crew" threads will be buried so deep no one will see them. Fine for AWOT, but not if you want to have a detailed, elaborate discussion going.

Actually, the vB forum format would probably fix this problem just as well by doing a better job archiving individual threads, but sounds like that's not going to happen any time soon.
