Okay, we know that the newer people around this forum have a habit of creating a 'what cube' thread.
This I am sure most people would like to eradicate or at least crack down on. As the thread title suggests I propose an idea that may be suited to reducing the amount of 'what cube should I get' to a minimum. My proposition is a 'Review Sub-Forum' where anyone can go to check out what cube suits them best, it seems notes when signing up are not enough. I think a message guiding them to a list of possible cubes that are on offer to them is, in my opinion, quite a good idea.
I would suggest discussion!
It may come as a surprise that I actually do not want this to happen, the forum is quite minimalist, simple and user friendly so is quite attractive to newer members. I think more sub-forums would make the website look cluttered.
I am just finding multiple threads based on one person's opinion tedious, boring and in some cases unacceptably unnecessary and downright ignorant. Members should not feed and encourage these threads unless it actually seems worthwhile. An honest person may have spent time on research and actually used their initiative, but when it is obvious they have found cube4you and gone "Look at all the DIYs" and thought they were the only one to experience that you should not reply.
Another suggestion may be to make a 'What Should I Buy?' sub-forum, that would mean those of us that honestly don't care never have to set foot in it, as it were. Also, people looking for a cube would almost literally just find other 'what should I buy threads?' all in one place, and possibly look at what people have suggested to others instead of starting a new thread.
