buckee Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion I wouldn't mind seeing sub-categories in a specific room. They would/could be helpful for members searching for a certain topic. I don't think separate rooms would be a good idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion My opinion is not for more rooms. Do we really need a videography forum? In this thinking, we'd need to sub-out the sports for Nascar, baseball etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie65 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion I agree with adding topics like homebrew cams,making them & things like that, even topics on making videos. I don't think we need to make more rooms in the Photo forum for this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10acboy Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion You definitely have to have homebrews in there somewhere - with all the interests of members wanting to try to build their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion Ive been on forums where theyve divided rooms into all these little sub catagories before and didnt care for them.Seems like several rooms see very little use anyway and if you want to find something you have to look through 4 rooms instead of one.I gotta agree with the ones that said most people should just learn how to use the search button.

snapper Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion I remember when we had a ton of rooms...we narrowed them down to get more traffic into certain rooms. Wouldn't this do just the opposite? What happens when the traffic starts to go to a certain room or sub-room? Do we eliminate the ones that aren't getting traffic? Then we'd end up with a photography room again! [ QUOTE ] There should be no confusion because if they look to the room where the pic initially was it will say moved and you just click on the link to where it is now. [/ QUOTE ] And how do these pics magically move to one room to the next? Because there will be pics. in the wrong rooms...they'll need moved to the right room by a mod. My feed back is to leave it alone...fine the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkillemquick Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion I would leave it the way it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion You asked for opinions, my opinion remains to leave it the way it is. I have never had any trouble with finding any topics in that room. It is not like the lounge where topics get buried really quick. As far as pinning links to the top for instructional or tutorials for building cameras, I dont see a problem with that. Far as asking a question in that room, they usually get answered fairly quickly for those who have questions that come up from time to time. btw, there is a photo post here and it has all the subtopics you could ask for.

whitetailkiller Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion [ QUOTE ] Honestly I am not sure there really is a need for more rooms there, but if there is seems like what you have listed there would be more than adequate.

buckee Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion We did use to have a lot of rooms that didn't get much traffic, and got rid of them. But we didn't have near as many members back then as we do now either. I think the Photography and video room is a lot busier place than what it used to be. I wouldn't mind seeing sub-categories in the Photography & Video room. I wouldn't like the idea of new rooms though. If sub-catagories in a room are possible, it would be cool. I think it would be really helpful for members searching for topics on specific things like Photography, video, or game cameras, in the same room. So far I like these three sub-categories too. General Photography (35mm, Digital, APS), Members Pictures (General Photo Discussion) Videography (VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Mini DV, DVD and Digital 8) Trail Cameras (Homebrew & Commercial) (My opinion, for what it's worth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion The administration would like to hear your input and opinions on this idea of sub-catagories in the photography room, There is absolutely no need for insults , so please guys, lets not get into personal attacks here. It really isn't necessary or needed. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion Honestly dont think it is necessary with how the site is currently setup. Sure change can be good, but subcategories already exist in the photo post that goes along with this site. Think someone might just be trying to make this look like jesseshunting site.

Gator Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion I say just leave it, why does the room need subcategories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion This will probably get deleted also ... Why would we change the photo room around? there are 35 post on the first page ... of them 35 post 4 are pinned ... making it 31 post ... the longest post on the first page was the 9th of January ... 3 days ago ... now correct me if I am wrong here ... if you really care about the photo room being disorganized ... and you go in there enough to care aboiut it being unorganized ... seems like you would go in there more often then every 3 days ... so if you do go in there more then 2 times in the 3 days you will see every single post in the room on the very first page ... I guess I still dont understand why we need to have sub categories for a room that has less then 35 post in 3 days ... now granted this might be a slow period ... and I probably dont know what in the world I am even talking about ... but maybe you can explain it to me ... if we make 3 categories that means the way it stands there would be at the most 10 post in each category every 3 days ... and thats assuming ppl upload video as often as they post a picture ... just some more thoughts I had on the photo room ...

wtnhunt Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion Changing it will leave us with a room or rooms that will likely be with little to no activity for days on end. Think it would be a nightmare in the making for mods as well. Moving pics from other locations deciding where exactly to move them to. How many videos are really loaded that we could justify them havign their own room, I mean really if there are more than 10 a week I would be surprised.

need2hunt Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion My opinion was if it was to be subcategorized the only 2 sub's I would think we would possibly need is 1 - General Photography (35 mm, etc) and 2 - Trail Cams. There is little video and I don't see a need for it to have it's own sub - it can just fall under general. I don't see the need to further categorize trail cams into comercial and homebrew. If someone starts doing tutorials on how to make homebrews from various cameras it can be pinned - if it gets to the point that there are so many that it needs it's own sub then cross that bridge then. Do I think we currently need these subs - no. But I also have to ask myself if there was a subs is there the possibility to grow the interest in these areas - to that I would say it's debatable but yes there is the possibility.

snapper Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion So again...how do the pics that are in the wrong "sub" room...get to the correct "sub" room? I say this should be left up to the mods. of that room. For me personally...I see it as one more thing I have to click on to see something ie: another room. I'm still on the old land line (dial up) and viewing photo's and such on here is usally a bear to begin with...now your asking to go to more rooms to view them. [ QUOTE ] Sometimes fellas, change is good. [/ QUOTE ] Key word there is...sometimes...I don't see how this changes anything other than making more rooms to scan.

buckee Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion This is what it would look like. Not that big of a change. Photography would be it's own section, instead of being grouped with "Other Topics" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: RT and I need your Opinion Got it Steve...so there will be two photo rooms for billkay and smallmunster to moderate? Sorry, still don't see the need, just went to the photo room and there were like 5 or 6 active topics...the rest on the first page were a day or so old.
