New Forums & Sub-Forums? The Evolution of Army.ca

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Well since, it seems to be a quiet day here, and the list is made up, ...awaaay they go!!!

Old Medic,
Moved most of them and made some "super" threads with some others, I will unlock your original post so you can do some rewrites if you wish. I did not move the recruiting threads as I don't want to take a chance on screwing up the real nice FAQ's that McQ and Mr. O'leary have done there.

Thanks,

That was very quick of you, and it looks great.

Cheers!

How about an Insignia forum for the the photo gallery, one that would also include Regimental Badges.

Done: http://army.ca/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=Insignia

Thank you sir.

Is it possible to create a Signals sub board under CSS (even though Signals is CS)?

 

[big bad john]

We pay respects to our fallen and departed colleagues in the appropriate thread provided.  Would it be possible to have a section of the photo gallery to display photos of them?

Thank you for all your efforts, Michael.  The site is truly a Public Service!

Hi Dave,

If there's enough traffic to warrant it, we could certainly do that. Anyone have a feel for the amount of sigs posts?

 

[DaveK]

I think I have found at least twenty subjects that would fit in that sub board. This includes linemen, LCIS techs, 291ers and Sig Ops and related subjects.  Do you have a plan to do that with all the CSS ones?

Mike,

I definitely think this is a good idea as I see you've split off the medical side.  Great to have an area specific to certain trades if enough traffic warrants it.  Now we just need a sub board for weapons techs only; that would make me SO happy.  ;D

I second that motion!

Just toying with an idea, What about a new thread topic in the Equipment forum called Gear Maintenance

 

[garb811]

I've been watching the development of the two CSS sub-forums with interest and I'd like to request that a sub-forum for the MPs be created.  There has been a fairly steady amount of traffic regarding the MP Branch and some lively discussion at times and I think a sub-forum would greatly encourage this.  I'm particularly encouraged by the Sigs sub-board which went from 7 posts in Jan to 57 posts today in their "new" home.  Hopefully we'd see a similar increase in activity for the MP board.  As with the other sub-forums this would also collect all of the pertinent MP threads into one location for ease of reference by anyone interested.  On behalf of the other active MPs (and wannabes) on the site, thanks for your consideration.

I did a search for suitable posts to populate the forum if it is set up:

Let's give it a shot:

I've moved the suggested threads in, thanks for seeding the new board.


Cheers

Hey Mike

I noticed that we have a number of Mounties on the forum these days. As the RCMP is technically part of the military (opr so I've been led to believe anyway) why not give them a sub-forum besside the Mp's?

Just a thought.

[Mike Bobbitt]

Sounds plausible... Maybe we can dig up some threads or hear from our RCMP visitors just to make sure it's a viable choice...
