Members seem to have their own opinions on what they love to do with the fairground. I find there are too many threads. The management could condense some of these topics into Old fair, New fair, Transport, Models, General messages. I can understand if members don't agree with me, but this is just an idea.

I have nothing against the new fair. If you read what I posted there is a place for all. Link to comment

Major decisions are taken by the members - which forums we have etc. We've pretty much got it how we want it. Whilst I am grateful for any suggestions to improve the forum, it may be a good idea to learn your way about before trying to change the way we do things - you've only been here a month after all You say there are too many "threads" - Do you mean "threads" or "forums"?Threads are started by members and we've no plans to restrict what members post or condense them to assist one member.If you actually mean "forums" you may be interested to know that we've tried fewer forums and found that the forums were much fuller making topics difficult to find and consequently more difficult to follow.I've moved this from the "General Message Forum" which is for discussing FUNFAIRS to the "Forum Help" which is for this type of post All the bestBill Link to comment

Some of which have not been active for a long time. If I have offended anyone I apologise it was not meant to be detrimental. Link to comment

There are currently over 46,000 topics - spread between the five forums you suggest, would, in my opinion, make each forum so big and unwieldy it would be unusable - that's an average of over 9000 topics per forum Link to comment

I was just suggesting a alternative, obviously I will keep my nose out. I was just trying to help out with the forum and help it grow. Sorry for interfering won't do it again. 2 Link to comment
