I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

breaking down car manufactures?!

Post by .saint » January 12, 2007

alright so i was scrolling up and down the main forum and i realized how HUGE thejdm actually is. its a bitch trying to run a forum that caters to all JDM cars instead of a specific make/model.

now im going to ask you guys to take a vote.

where i have the civic's and integra's broken down into sub forums. i was going to actually make a new forum and name it 'the rundown' and put honda, toyota, mazda. and so on... inside those forums would be sub forums to the specific makes/years witch would then breakdown into the forums... would that be too much navigation? should i try it and see how it works out? lemmie know.

I like it if it can clean up the index page. Maybe title it "makes/models" or something so it's a little more of a no-brainer (I think n00bs would be asking "where's the Honda/Toyota/etc. section if it was called the rundown). Good idea.

While you're at it maybe make sub-forums for different models the way Honda has a separate sub-forum for all the popular models, do that in the other makes' forums. Just a thought.

maybe we should take an example out of the other vB forms on the net? i just looked at JDMU and they have the regionals like you say... i think regional for sure but media or market place maybe both... but now that i think about it... so its gonna be like this?

the rundown
honda
acura
nissan
toyota
etc.
etc.

if its gonna be broke down like that then i would like to see the civic/acura broken down within the honda/acura selection... as there would be enough room for it then... thats my .02 cents... these are just suggestions and other alternatives if this doesnt pass or does for that matter

I halfway agree with this, but for the entire forum. Just break it down by car manufacturer.

btw - solotwo, fix your avatar quote. You missed the 'a' in Honda.
