Taking down a forum?

[22lr]

What would it take to get a forum removed from INGO? And lets say I went through the trouble of gathering support, would this be an option that is taken seriously or would I be wasting my time. I ask that in all respect as id rather not waste my time and the staffs time if this option would not be considered. I ask because im tired of just being tired about it, id like to change INGO for the better.

So in all honesty would INGO be open to dialogue about removing or substantially changing a forum?

(purposefully not naming the forum because this is not a tread asking for it to be deleted, just asking if a request would even be considered as I feel a actual request would take a good chunk of time to formulate).

Thanks

Remove the Forum Support / Suggestions section.

I'm not a mod, but I can almost guarantee you'd be wasting your time.

I'm certainly curious as to which forum though.

I think that has been talked about before and the board owner decided not to remove that forum. Why do you feel you need to stop other people's enjoyment in talking about some things that you do not enjoy? Perhaps just don't go into that forum if it bothers you so much.

No ****. I can even understand wanting to get rid of a certain topic because they flood a certain forum you like to visit, but it's pretty damn easy to just completely skip over the forum altogether...I do it every single time I log on to INGO.

Interesting question.

We take adding and subtracting entire subforums very seriously. Each time this happens it literally changes the "face" of INGO, and what it offers to the Hoosier firearms community.

We only add forums after an overabundance of interest in shown in such a forum. The Mod staff then discusses it, filtering it through several questions like "Does this topic stay in line with our mission" and "How closely related to firearms is it?" Then, the final decision is up to the Site Owner and Admin, Fenway.

As for removing an entire subforum, you'd really have an uphill battle. You'd have to make a good argument for its removal, and you'd need many of the active users to be on board with your position. It would need to meet with Staff approval, and then get the final OK from Fenway.

Is that a waste of time? I guess that's up to you to decide.

This. If a certain subforum gives me another headache, then I'll stay out of it for a time.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. It's much appreciated

They're women. They're. . . .umm...... LOUDer. . . . . about it.

(truth be told, the Mods agreed that it would be a good forum, so we pitched it to Fenway and he liked it too)

Is this the place to add a airgun forum?

 

[rmabrey]

I think staying out of that forum instead of screwing it up for everyone else is a better choice.

I would like to have the yodeling subforum removed.

I don't like it one bit.

That happens to be the most active forum. Just because you're prejudiced against the awesome skill of yodeling doesn't mean we should cave to your desires. Negative rep headed your way...
