2 new forums added today! Dedicated HPI Savage & T-Maxx forums!
We just added 2 dedicated forums for you monster truck fans. HPI Savage and Traxxas T-Maxx now each have their own separate forum. If you use the "MyForums" feature you MUST go into your settings to add these 2 new forums otherwise you will not see them appear in the list unless you choose "All Forums" from the drop down menu on the main nav header. Best thing to do is check your MyForums selections in the settings area to make sure you have all the forums you want!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Hi Mark,
I too would like to see RCU become the largest RC site as you quoted in a recent posting. I know your schedule is likely rolling right along but I had to ask you about the segregated MT forums.
Why were the Traxxas and HPI forums not modified into "Sub-forums" of the Monster Truck Forum? My only comment is that it now makes the "RC Cars" section appear unorganized and further away from any meaningful order. Additionally, for future ease of expansion, a seperate car (electric/nitro) and a seperate truck (electric/nitro) section should make navigation much easier on the user as well as make for a cleaner appearance. I know X-Mas typically brings many new students and it can be pretty overwhelming for many of them to view a Forum Section page as large as RCU's and not be intimidated. The chances are always good that they may come across 2 or 3 different forum sites in their initial search and end up becoming loyal to the one they can easiest relate to. I have seen "too-big-too-fast" hurt many people and I'd hate to see that happen to RCU.
Just my .02, spend it or throw it in the dish.
I'm a moderator from a much smaller family-oriented RC site(that hasn't been all that busy lately) and I also advertise here on RCU so if there's anything I can do to help I will always do what I can. Thanks for your time and Merry Christmas!
Later.

PLEASE do NOT do sub forums. I hate how everything just gets posted everywhere then like how the previous car forum was. Now it is better since there is no sub-forums in the car sections.
