Project subsection of the forum?

I agree with the KISS methodology

but i'm just a newbie.....

Sweet! My direct experience with this is that it adds value and is popular. I expect that will be the case here too.

I don't think having this section clutters the board. I actually think it makes it simpler. You should be able to go to a section of interest and read. If I want to buy parts, go to "For Sale." If I want to read/ask tech Q's, go to "General Help." If I want to see others projects, go to "Builds."

I completely agree with the KISS principal on forums. To my mind, if you can't see all the sub-forums on one browser page, you're doing something wrong (or should split the board.) A lot of boards are like that... too complicated. I end up just going to "New Posts" and reading what's going on in one stream. Or they want to be all things to all people... for example, a board that covers every frigging GM car built.

But at the other end, just having one section covering help, general topics, for sale... that doesn't work well either (anybody else remember the old NEWS service? I assume it's still around, but I haven't used it in years.)

I agree and perfectly said. I think it will be a good section, too. I doubt any of the mods/admins thought it was a bad idea; I think everyone's just been busy with life and work and haven't had time to take a few minutes to address the posts regarding a Projects sub-forum and actually create it. My body and bike are both down at the moment, so I might have a little spare time for the next couple of weeks.   

I'm open to all suggestions for what to call the Projects sub-forum. Something brilliant might even earn a custom title....

See, I never even got anyone behind me when I asked for a gear review area. Seriously, at least once a week something comes up about either helmets, saddle bags, jackets, boots , gloves etc. I was told people can find it on the Wiki so I took some time and wrote up a few and found out no one was bothering to look and still asking the same old questions. So, why should I waste my time?

Must be nice to be new on the board and get your ideas taken care of so quickly
