I'm not much of a regular in P&B, short attention span but is there enough content to keep it busy if split into each model?

Yeah it means HZ ceases to exist and all HZ threads go in GC for that model.

I think so, plus if you're reading in there it doesn't matter how old the content is because there's typically lots to get through. Might not be many threads but they're all 5+ pages.

Does that mean there will a sub-forum for each model, then a P&B within that sub-forum?

I think splitting it out by model will make the forums quiet, especially the Corsa D one.

Long term plan is they get busier though, I appreciate the C and D ones won't be booming at first.

I think having the separate models will eventually work, I think any C and D owners think this site is only for B's, but if they can see/find more relevant content they are more likely to stick around.

What about -

Trade
*Classifieds
*External Links/Offers

Car Chat
*General Day
*Help Zone
**Corsa B
**Corsa C
**Corsa D
**Other
*Tutorials & FAQs

Social
*Off Day
*Prem
*Regional

I think splitting HZ would make it easier to search for threads regarding a specific issue. Then, if there is enough to do so, split T&FAQs into separate sub-forums as well (or merge with HZ sub-forums but that could get messy).
As said though, people tend to stick HZ threads in GC due to traffic and i don't think there is a lot you can do apart from move threads and dish out warnings (perhaps a bit harsh but...).

P.s - good stuff on the pagination in the search though

Edit - Forgot to add, P&B would stay in GC or move them out to to it's own forum.

Edit2 - Or remove HZ, replace with a Corsa and have model sub-forums with P&Bs underneath those but that could be a bit of a head fuck.

I assume that'd stay as is like House Day/Geek Day/Snap Day and hang off the Off Day forum. Wouldn't make much sense for them to move....

I like the format in the first post, with projects sections in the Corsa and non-corsa forums.

Other projects and builds to be hidden within other section (like now) from the main forum index, keeps it focused on Corsas. Still a clean layout without too many sections

I like that idea but P&B being on two different levels may be confusing.

Does remove the need for a separate P&B for each B/C/D though.

Id replace GC with corsa chat only keep the B,C,D together and have another GC for other makes of cars.

As for HZ id keep it as it is seperate from GC.
