It's regarding this General Topics forums. In the past I have always enjoyed reading the General Topics Forum for what it should truly be for, and that is General DJ related Topics related to VDJ or DJ related topics. More and more it seems like people post hardware and software topics here instead of where they should really go. Please encourage everyone to use the correct forums and let's make the General Topic Forum what it is really intended for. Just my thoughts on the matter.

I hear ya, it's just that those forums don't get read nearly as much as this one, and sometimes the only way to get some help is to post here.

@socross - that is not the case. The General, Software and Hardware forums are equally read. I agree more and more NON-General topics are being posted here. However, the posts need to be answered where the end up - plus the unfortunate side is that more posts are from potential NEW USER that just don't know teh culture of the forum. We do what we can where we can...!

Changing the order might help. Right now the General Forum is listed first.

is the general too busy tho? do posts get lost too fast because of too many posts? not realy i dont think. if the general forum was crazy flooded then it woudl make sense but if there were 100 very empty forums that would be worse than 1 busy one. bug reposts should go in the bugs section as should new ideas but these allways end up in the general unless the person posting is very diceplned or doesnt realise it wont get as much exposure

having folks post stuff in the right forums would make searching a lot easier. Right now if I have a software issue, if want information on it, I have to search the Software Forum as, well as the general forum, because folks post there hardware and software issues in the General Forum.

Don't the VIP's and above have the power to move the post to the correct forum?

Its a good idea , but if the original author doesn't see it where the wrote it
he/she might just repost it

The forum could be changed or updated, so that if a vip is moving a post to another forum, that the user who created the thread, gets a private message automatically with something like:
Your post "Title of the thread" is moved from "original forum name" to the "current forum name" by "name of the vip" while it was not posted in the correct forum.
Then there might be far less confusion when moving threads.

I would agree with the VIP Moderation but then you take the risk of the VIP wars of who thinks it belongs where? Maybe what we need is more moderation support where you would volunteer to take on that responsibility.
Suggested solution, unfortunately I can't spend the time it takes to moderate a forum. Otherwise I would volunteer - but hey skyfxl LIVES HERE in the forum and reads (posts on) every post. Maybe the current General Forum Moderators can give him some pointers and he assist in this task.
Sorry about the jab skyfxl, but I had to take it. But I am serious about my recommendation.

How about creating a sticky called PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST IN THIS FORUM
Also updating the forums is a good idea, especially the email notification aspect

i think there allready is a post called 'new users check in here first' or something, if people READ the other forums, maybe people would post in them as much as the general.
its just a catch 22, if no one posts in there then no one will read/reply there
if noone is replying and reading to threads the noone will post.
were taking over the frenchies tho, soon the post count will be higer here than for the original french section
zute alores! (its spelled somethignlike that im sure)
