    Hey all
    I was just thinking that since the model forum is so popular that for people to find what type of model stuff they want be it Model trains , RCs ect.. it might be easier if the forum was divided up into a Model railway forum RC forum and so on so that it would be more user friendly.

    Thanks for listening

    tracks :D

    It probably does not have the traffic volume for that maybe.

    I could definitely see us doing it if the active threads got to a certain level. But we've a bit to go yet.

    not enough traffic

    there are also plenty of model rail forums if you are looking for something specific

    apart from the Irish one linked in sig the two biggest in the uk would be
    rmweb.co.uk
    modelrailforum.com

    Agree with CM. There's just isn't enough traffic. It would die a death if we all huddled in our little corners.

    I think it would be good to break up the forum into more car/train/boat sections. It seems to be very biased towards RC stuff and not everyone is into that stuff. I'm more into scale model cars and boats and on the rare occasion I posted I was left in the wilderness....

    The same people will be looking at the sectioned forum anyway as the traffic on it is very light. It probably seems biased towards RC because a lot of modellers are probably into radio control models. Anyone is free to use and post on the models forum so its not really biased i would`t think anyway. Im surprised how quiet it gets at times though.

    You have hit on the key there Robbie.
    The quiet times are still coming every so often. We have grown a lot, and they are fewer now however. The Admins judge by activity. We have most activity in the warmer months as people get out with their models. As our activity goes up even more in 2011 this will become a viable option.
