Page Revision

Hey guys thinking of doing some site revision but wanted some input from you guys first.

Since we seem to be more about the WATCH here than where it CAME from, was thinking of getting rid of the SWISS MADE, German/Russian, Japan/Asian section...

I was also thinking of combining BUY/SELL/TRADE/DEAL into one thread...

BUT...

I would like some input from YOU GUYS TOO!

Any changes you would like to see?

THANKS!

Don't collapse it too far.

-Robert

Thanks for the input Doc...

Oh, I added a new emoticon in honor of Trev and Duff.....





Saw it at DWC and immediately thought of you guys......

Certainly understand your logic (positioning) behind the proposed changes.
But should this forum grow over time people will appreciate the organization.
It is a good and well established way to find what you're looking for.
Our activity/responses to each others opinions/watches is what defines the welcome diversity here.
Not the structure.

Sounds like if it ain't broke don't fix it?

Essentially - yes.

still not sure what getting rid of a bunch of forums will accomplish! I use the portal but when new members look at the main page they want to see some sub forums! If you want growth you will need something to grow into. I wouldnt mess with much, my .02 cents!

And I'm not OVERLY concerned about GROWTH.

GROWTH to what purpose?

I would much rather have a tight group of guys, talking watches, and not getting caught up in a bunch of peripheral garbage!

looks like we have 17 sub forums not many but you might go look at the place doc talks of, they're home page was down to nothing and looked horrible! Mayb they have added to it but i quit stopping by after all the moves they made!

Yes I prefer the small group too.
Don't necessarily mean membership growth - just data growth.

Yep, don't over think it, Alan. Put the time and energy into figuring out your next watch... All is well here.

Thanks TIM!

Good Idea!

I agree with the majority here, unless it helps you on your end running the show I'd keep it as it is. Don't mess with perfection!

The member list is growing.I'd not over think it at the moment.Just keep with what you are doing right now.
Give the various forums time to grow.The Dive forum will take off eventually as will the asian and swiss forums.
I'd add another forum to the sales area though instead of making it just one forum with no sub forums.
You could clean the front page by just having the sales forum listed and put the subforums list in
the parent directory.

. . . you have it set up quite nicely as it is Alan . . .

Good suggestion.

Maybe a Randy's dirty joke forum

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Keep on keeping on!~

Have ALWAYS like the way things are set up ! However, if you wanted
to make a change then that's fine too. You could always have a trial run,
and if you didn't like the way something was, you could always go back
to the way it was ! Honestly, things seem GREAT to me though !
Thanks !!!

Like the way it is Alan! You've done a great job!

YOU GUYS make it great!

Thanks for everyone's input and for being here!
