Title: Restoration Sub-Forum
Post by: ClubChapin on May 21, 2017, 03:34:46 PM: Is there or should we consider a sub forum for restoration?

It would be nice to separate restoration information from the other topics here.

It would make searching for resto info easier.

This makes the community livelihood feel slower, because each forum category will have less new content.

The end result is less engagement.

Shorter answer: I'd love to have a dedicated section for restoration topics, but right now there's just not enough restoration topics being posted to warrant having one.

I'm down for this if we can form a team of people willing to help plan/organize tags and keep everything accurate.
We actually had tagging enabled several years ago, but it was under-utilized to the point of being useless.

We have more people, and more engagement now...

Thanks!
A couple others recently volunteered as well - sounds like we have a committee!!
