Move Lounge to top of site?

[meissen]

Since it seems a large portion of the mod's daily duties seem to be focused on moving people's threads from the General 5th Gen Discussion section to more appropriate places, has there been any discussion on maybe moving the Members Area section to the top of the site?

It seems like the three main types of threads I always see being moved from the General 5th Gen section are new member introductions and topics that have nothing to do with 5th gens (general car talk or completely off topic). Because the General 5th Gen Discussion forum is first on the site, it's the catch all for many members. If the Members Area forums (all 4 of them) were moved up to the top, many of the improperly placed threads by people who are too lazy to scroll through the site's list of forums would be satisfied by the new member intros, general car discussion, and off topic discussion forums.

Plus, since we are such a community, having the new members section at the top instead of buried all the way at the bottom would promote people actually looking at the forum and spur on more activity welcoming new members.

Basically, the sections at the bottom are at the bottom because they have the least to do with the 5th gen Camaro of any section on the site. I don't see them moving up any time soon. The only one I'd support a move of is the member introduction, but only because those members are less likely to know about the other areas of the site. If you've been around long enough to not consider yourself 'new' ... you should probably know those sections are down there.

As for moving all those threads ... we move plenty of other threads each day. From pictures, to VS ... , to wheels, to pictures, to anything else ... I'd say it has more to do with the general popularity of the section than how far down the list the section is.

S'all good - was just a suggestion to make your guys' jobs easier. The 5th gen discussion forum is just the general catch all because it's at the top.
