Topic Tidy-Up

[Kevin Futter]

Hi everyone,

 

I've just done a quick spring-clean of the General Discussion area, as I realised that there were a few posts here that really belonged elsewhere in the forums. To that end, I've moved a few out of here to the areas they more appropriately belong. If possible, I'd like to reserve the General Discussion area for off-topic posts and threads, that don't otherwise relate to the core business of the site.

 

And on that note, if you feel you'd like to make a post relating to scale model paint masks, but can't see anywhere else but General Discussion to put it, let me know, as it may be a sign that we need to either expand or refine our existing forum sections. In other words, I'm open to suggestions to improve the structure and content of the forums.

I did wonder whether it would be worth having a "suppliers reviews" thread or area somewhere, where people who have bought a cutter and had good service/value (or otherwise) from their supplier could share their experiences.

In fact, this was prompted by the fact that I ordered a Portrait 3 from Graphtec in the UK, and less than 24 hours after hitting the "confirm order" button it's just been delivered.  That's great service!

It’s always worth reading and sharing places where you get good, reliable and prompt service Mike, so I think it’s a worthwhile idea. Any thoughts Kev?

Let me think about this one. Topics such as what you guys are suggesting tend to be time-sensitive, and posts can go stale pretty quickly. I think perhaps broadening the idea to a general Reviews section might work better; that way, members can post reviews of whatever they feel is relevant: hardware, software, consumables, suppliers, etc.

That seems eminently reasonable.
