Too many phone forums. It's merge time.

I kind of like t the way it is. If a user wants to find info on their specific model they can go right to it.
then if they want general info they can go to one of the android foums.. Apps, lounge, etc

 

Lol so funny, me and Rob just had a long talk about this yesterday. We have some ideas and a solution is in the works.

That was our thought exactly - it's already outa control and it's only going to get bigger.

 

I think this should probable be changed somwhow too. I look at those phone forums that dont have many members, and people in there have unreplied threads for ages. When the question can be easily anwered by someone sho doesnt have that phone.

So I'm looking forward to see whats going to happen anyway.

 

Maybe only the subforums with a lot of traffic should have their own then others phones would have a <Manufacturer - Other> subforum.

Something like:

HTC Hero
HTC Eris
HTC G1
HTC Other

That would at least help limit the number.

 

We have similar thoughts, but probably won't be until sometime like mid January..

 

Right... like you could never lump the Moto Droid and the Cliq together! So different in SO many ways. Good luck with this!

 

I agree that the heavily trafficked model forums should be left alone so, for instance, "Eris doesnt turn on" type threads dont push out the threads about less common phones. I also think there should be a rumor subforum for each manufacturer so we can get the latest rumors and leaks without scrolling through unrelated threads about existing phones. Especially with the massive volume of rumored Android phones.
