Ok guys, I think its about high time that we address how fucked this forum has gotten.    Our quickest and easiest solution right now is to take all your suggestions from all time and split this forum into a couple of different ones.   Ski Equipment for gear advice, Buy thread, sell thread, trade thread... whatever you guys want. 

So throw your suggestions on how this forum should be split up in here, and we'll get to it super soon!

Yup, that's all we need. No need for more forums, because then we'd need to move around the forums a lot more.

i like the idea of one thread for gear questions/ info (aka the 08-09 skis thread) and one for sales, trades, etc. I dont like the idea of making it a part of ppls profiles cuz then it will be too hard to make sales known

Not many people will go into a section that's dedicated to trading or looking to buy. If you put it together, it's more likely that people lookng to buy something specific will get noticed.

so therefore, we need a

Buy/Sell/Trade section

and

Gear Talk section

word, i think it could work, it might have to be tweaked a little if it became abused but i think most kids on ns would have the integrity to be legit about it

I think if there are any more than two new forums then they will become insufficiently active and people will take threads to other places to get more views. I say this because already if you need something answered fast it just goes to one of the tww main forums half the time. I see ski equip stuff in ski gabber all the time, where do you think all the WTB threads are gonna go if that forum only gets 500 views a week?

Talk about it
Buy, sell or trade it

Buy section
Sell Section
and "Help me choose a ski / coat / binding / whatever" section

I think a buy, sell, trade forum and then a gear advice forum would be good, and I really like the idea of every seller making a feedback thread and putting it into there sig....

I agree with splitting things up. I come to this forum looking for info about ski equiptment, and I always have to dig through all of the "for sale" and wtb crap.

Make a feedback forum, where each person has their own thread. It works great. It's so simple and effective and easy and clean and wonderful!

And! Just split the forum into two, I think. Gear Swap and Discussion... Cause its really not that hard to put FS or WTB or FT in front of your post. And make a sticky with rules and explaining this stuff to the noobs.

And then it'll be sick!

Hah yeah its totally launching in a day or two.  I actually just went through this thread like 4 days ago and made the call.

We're going with two separate forums, buy/sell/trade and gear talk.   Super simple!
