Re: Is the Travel forum really a good idea?
citanul,
Generally speaking you're gonna have three kinds of threads, to which you generally referenced: - questions about certain places, asking for advice, trip reports with pics from said places, etc. - near future, short trips to places, i.e. "what to do in XXX for a night" - really dumb, poorly constructed threads about some place that warrants no response due to poor effort. I guess group one is fine in Travel. The problem I have is group two and so many of the time-critical, user-reliant threads being locked or shipped off to Travel, and as importantly users' probable confusion over where to post (grunching oddjob - "well I mostly post in OOT but I'm taking a trip...where do I post this in order to comply with the rules?"). If I had to boil it down the Travel forum in and of itself isn't a killer, but using it as a catch-all for trips to cities is a bad idea and detrimental to various communities. |
