Time to Downsize?

[mortarm]

I've been on the forums for a number of months and noticed that quite a few of them haven't been touched since I've been here. For the sake of freeing up resources and improving navigation, I'm wondering if it might be prudent to trim the tree, as it were.

Just because no one is posting doesn't mean no one is reading... I browse the archives from time to time. I've found useful information there.

I don't think it's hurting anything to leave the extra forums there, even if some are rarely used. Then again, I mostly use "unread posts", "active topics", and the search to find things rather than going into the actual topic list for each forum.

I have to concur with the previous two posters. Being able to search through older posts is useful, and like DragWx I mostly use the "unread posts" search function whenever I log in to the forum.

Also, this is not a huge board by any stretch of the imagination. I doubt purging some lesser used forums would have a noticeable impact on performance.

Just because they are not being used right now does not mean they will never be.
We are expecting more people to join as the hardware becomes more readily available. At that time there may be good use for the forums.

I've haven't noticed any more people on the board at any one time. (and I'm signed on most of the time by default when at my computer). But I have noticed a VERY significant Increase in the number of times my programs are being downloaded since shipment of the production run. Here's hoping that trend continues ... !
