Restructuring the Transport/Infrastructure Forum
Posted: Thu May 31, 2018 4:06 pm
I post quite a lot in the Transport/Infrastructure forum and it oftens occurs to me that there are just far too many discussion threads in that forum.
Here is my proposal to cut down the number of threads to something far more manageable...
Public Transport : General
Public Transport : Trains
Public Transport : Trams
Public Transport : Buses (That's it...no sub-threads, no Port Dock thread, no O-Bahn thread etc..)
Regional Public Transport
Shipping/Ferries
Adelaide Airport/Air Transport in South Australia
Cycling
Energy/Electrical Infrastructure
Water Issues/Infrastructure
Roads
North/South Corridor (this is the exception to the rule of no separate threads from the main topic, a project so large that it deserves it's own
thread.....the only one)
Why trim the number of threads?.....to stream line discussion into single threads, focusing and collating ideas/views in the same place.
For example, the separate train threads are unnecessary....when the Port Dock extension gets underway the there will lots of posts in that thread...but none in the Upgrade of the Adelaide Metro Network thread...and this "double up" list goes on....
Fewer threads equals more active threads, more active threads encourages participation and discussion.
