Not enough 'traffic' to warrant. One thread is not nearly reason enough to devote an entire area to it. I think things are fine the way they are right now in regards to it.

Some very good ideas here. I'll be incorporating these into our new expanded forums format for 2009.

For the "Vendor" or " For sale or Trade" type of thread there have certainly been more then "one thread". The "Stalingrad" by Manfred Kehrig" thread being just the lastest of a few in the last couple weeks. The same goes for personalities. Hitler's Madness and posts along with the "Favorite Marshal?" and Was Hitler an illiterate? threads for examples.

Three threads is hardly enough to spur a new forum. And like I said, we're working on a Vendors/For Sale Forum already, since that is far enough different then the rest of the Forum that it warrants it.

Keep the suggestions coming! Now is the time to let us know what you want as we are re-organizing the forum structure for 2009.

A playpen....

The freezone is good...but we all know and can suffer from how shall I say...playful idocy...not my sort of course...One should always make the divide between idiocy and constructive enlightenment...Just ask ZA...

But any posts that go above the level of normal rationale...or even subjective...Did Hitler have one ball type...could find a home diverted to the playpen...then folk will know what likely responses will be...

Different from Freezone as posts from all threads can be diverted by the mods.

Of course this still allows freezone to debate outragous happenings in the world...but one step up from a playpen ridiculousness....My threads and posts would rarely if ever make an appearance in there obviously....

Of course others may recognise it as the naughty step..

Maybe there should be a forum called 'Flights of Fancy" LOL ? That way some of the more fanciful or fantasy based threads posted by some here can have thier own little world to live in? LOL

See Alternate History Discussion Board . I just love The Twilight Zone, "Where Pigs Fly and Nazis Win WW2"

As for the rest, the Free Fire Zone we already have fits the bill to a nicety

Ahhhh - now I see it. It's not set up as standard for a vBulletin site - that's why I couldn't find it.

Cheers!

Is it effective? How can I disable other users from using it against me?

This is first and foremost a WWII Forums. Not a 'generic-everything' forum. We don't need one to cover everything. Tech Help belongs in Free Fire Zone too, and people don't join the WW2 Forums for Tech. Help. Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves here, Gentlemen. To keep clutter down, we create sections in the Forum that would be used frequently. There is no point creating a thread that gets used once a month - if the demand is not great, there is no point separating it from the rest.

Here is another one. Recently there have been quite a few responses to members here who have not been active for years. Sometimes not for 8 or more years. Perhaps there could be something to designate how active or even if they are still active within a certain period of time? Perhaps within the last year or so?

I don't see how that is useful? Looking @ profiles shows last activity

__________________

Because it obvioulsy looks like most don't look at the profiles. Just the post. Perhaps it could be included in the information you see when someone posts instead of just on the profile. For example just the words "Active Member" or "Inactive Member" after a certain amount of time.

I still don't see how that would help? Threads are organized by last date they were posted in. Anything after page 1 or 2 hasn't been posted in in a while.
