Forums layout update v4.1

[genesis]

v4.1 doesn't represent anything except that I've had enough recent changes that I lost track where Iron Piston started as far as the layout goes.

More changes:
Community Feedback has been merged with Site News, since both weren't getting too much activity. That also hints that I need more feedback.

Car Talk section is created to include General Car Talk, Automotive Recalls, Rumormill & Spyshots and Automotive news posted automatically from other car related sites. Automotive news was getting pretty congested with over 1000 threads but almost no discussion, this should help with the discussion of things a bit better.

Iron Piston Community subforums (off-topics) are now brought up one level to encourage your participation. Threads were getting lost under all the sub-sub-sub-forums but this brings them all to the main page. Yes, it makes the main page a little taller but if we have good participation and thread creation, it's worth it.

Rumble will become invisible in the near future, it will mark the start of preferred membership on Iron Piston (not paid, don't worry) - Just a headsup.

Once we have enough members, changes on the forums will mainly be voted by members. As always, I'm open for suggestions, feedback, threats, flames and whatever you have to say to the changes.

i think the modified layout has it's pros and cons. Looks like it's giving the site more face, more topics are visible as you already said but it might also intimidate some people by having a longer main forum page. Looks good in my opinion.

Maybe I can ask a question, not to myself though. The forum that we call Arcade doesn't have much use and can be replaced by something else. Something like Computer Chat which could include anything computer related, software, hardware, graphics, web design and so on but would be pretty vague in this example.

I can't think of anything else so my question is, what can we do with Arcade instead of just canning it?

I really don't know what you guys are talking about BUT a girly section would pick things up...especially for ME. That is if the girls don't mind. Maybe enough girls can start a mens section.

Yeah well don't do a vote on that coz men will win. Rumble, as I said will become the Founder's Club forum so I have you covered there. What do you think of the overall layout of forums and subforums.
