Gonna ask the tough question

Edgar_FriendlyX3M · 06-01-2022, 02:04 PM

Why is this forum not broken up by category like many of the others? Interior, brakes, wheels, engine, etc. Was on the g80 m3 one and its glorious!!!

I'd love to see the same for things like DIY's etc. I loved that on my E9X section of the forum!

I noticed most others have it. Hell, the old Jeep GC forum I was on had it.

My guess is the traffic doesn't justify it like it does in the M3/4 group.

thestimp · 06-01-2022, 03:18 PM

I've asked, no mods responded, my guess is lazy per usual, but love the power. I'd happily set it all up like i did for the N54 and N55 forums....

Would also be nice to see a separated X3M/X4M forum (similar to M2/M3/M4/M5/M6/M8 set up) instead of a sub forum.

At least we have a sub forum...Z4M gets no love

not enough traffic. it's a quiet platform in general and i assume there are more and more people who are turning to facebook (eww) rather than forums. but seriously, I'd love to see the F97/8 branch off into its own forums.

I've seen many a forum quickly fall off the map throughout the years due to over fragmenting of the discussion. If the traffic doesn't support it, it's not a good idea - it gives the impression that the forum is slower than it is if you spread the topics out over various subforums. Then the casual observer will simply leave the page when they don't see active discussions, then it's all downhill from there. We've got a ways to grow in order to support subforums.
