Subforum for no2chem & other major developers?

[bkaz]

So with nueROM 2.2 dropping sometime this month (week?), who thinks that No2chem needs his own subforum? His last thread just cruised by 3600 posts. Many of them would be eliminated if people didn't have to dig through hundreds of pages to find an answer to a question that was already asked and answered 20 times.

While I do consider him the best that would be unfair to the other ppl that do the same thing he does.

That's true... I've seen plenty of other forums that give established developers their own subforums. So other established devs should have their own too. I don't think it causes any performance issues with the server (it would probably reduce the number of posts and searches and improve performance!).

Easiest way to keep his thread under control is to not post useless crap in it. Just my $0.02 since there is alot of off topic chatter in his ROM threads...

Unfortunately the people like us complaining about wading through it aren't the ones doing it, so we have no control. I think this is in lieu of somehow banning every idiot who steps foot in his thread.

I'm for this, simply because you notice a pretty wide range of threads on the HTC Titan Upgrades forum referencing his ROMs and asking questions related to them, so clearly enough people talk about them that it might be worth it. At this stage I'd say no2chem and DCD are just popular enough to warrant their own, while the rest can share this forum until another true leader appears.

A sub forum would make it possible to do an RSS JUST FOR No2Chem! I LOVE that idea!!!!

We could then have a separate announcement and discussion thread for each build, making it a little easier to browse through. Not saying for each sub-build (a-k on 5069, for instance), but just each main number revision.

I think this is a great idea. There are tons of custom ROM's based off of his base builds. I think.....enough to make this a worthy sub.

I think that making a separate forum is just going to make it harder for no2chem to keep up on issues and help people out. Its more frustrating for us to go through that single thread than it is for him... would you rather read 50 individual threads or 50 questions in a single thread?
