You'll know that the transformation is real if PMB's account starts posting short, common sense and sardonic comments, and Pablo's account starts bloviating long winded bullshit rants.

I have been agitating for a DIY section for awhile. I'm sharing my own posts from earlier.
The DIY Sub Forum :
I can't find it
J/k. Chill Dan. Put the spiked whip down. I like the one without the spikes.
What are the CONS to having a DIY subforum in the General Discussion forum? I'm thinking anywhere in the pink.
Is it because of "clutter"? I don't like doing a DIY post and having it disappear in a pile of posts like the "WTF dad kills son after son finds his fetish stash pics".
I suspect that if we have a DIY subforum that the views will be high, even if the threads don't rocket up like in General Discussion.
My reason : DIY threads are not at all like most General Discussion threads. I think threads that include more effort and have some extra value above argument should be easier to find.
I realize that no one is compelled to convince me. This seems to be my pet project... But if you care to, convince me that a DIY sub forum doesn't belong here. I don't -want- to spread my time onto a different website like "Homemachinist" or "Hobbymachinist" or another DIY website, but I don't like being in the same "room" as the "WTF" threads either.
If this is beating a dead horse I'll stop pestering you guys about it.

I see PMB's points, easier to find, doesn't get lost, etc., ...
But I also see the other side....it's a Gun Forum. Granted, you have Grubs & Guts, but guns are used for hunting food, so there's a connection....
If you have 80 sub-forums, then, you are ChattyCathy.com, and the emphasis is no longer guns & gun rights.
Conversely, if you are a 'community', and people are sharing ideas and tips, making it easier to communicate seems logical, though you run the risk of non-gun folks having more input, and taking over.
None of that helps, I'm sure, just thinking out loud...
