Subforum suggestion.

Good question, thanks for asking. If it's related to 18-wheelers, that's definitely the type of discussion we want to have in that forum. I haven't added a subforum for non-trucking topics in many years, because our mission is to provide a platform for exchanging information about trucking, and there are other sites which are already better platforms for shop talk about cars and other non-trucking topics.

 

Is this something that's going to be used just for topics about what shop equipment to buy and layouts for shops? Can you give me an example of some other threads that aren't currently a fit for the Eighteen Wheeler forum?

I think there's a lot to trucking besides 18 wheels, and a lot of people trucking in things other than 18 wheelers.

A broad example of what I consider to be a non-trucking topic: Talking about your favorite sports team? Probably not a trucking topic. You'd be welcome to start a thread in the Everything or Social forum, but I wouldn't create a new subforum for it.

Give me three topics you'd start in that forum, a promise that you'll respond to every thread that gets posted in there for the next 90 days, and tag 3 other active members that would do the same. Subforums don't just take off, it takes some dedicated people to get things rolling and keep them rolling. If you're going to put in the effort, I'll create the subforum.
