We're looking to add new sub forums to generate interest in different parts of the boards. We seem to get plenty of traffic to Jungle Noise and PnR, but some parts of the boards are a ghost town. Holic is making a science and discovery thread, but we're also looking for input from you guys. The best and most popular ideas will be used to form a list, then we will make a poll and let you guys vote on at least 1 new sub forum.
We also want to clear out some sub forums that aren't getting any traffic. So lets hear your ideas.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Some folks have mentioned sub-forums about History and Science. I'll offer those two up as initial considerations.

I'm a car guy, love watching those shows on Discovery and Velocity, Diesel Brothers is my favorite show, those guys are nuts. But I know that an Automotive or Car sub-forum wont generate that much interest or traffic.
The two big ones that I think everyone will enjoy and go to would be a History or a Science sub-forum.
I know you only want to add one but maybe consider adding both. I love both subjects with History being above Science.
So if you can only add one my vote would be History.

No doubt. I'm a big DIY'r and some things are great and some are not.
For instance I will say the most important thing a DIY'r can buy himself is a good set of vice clamps.

As I mentioned in the post on Friday, a sub-forum on the "Unknown" that would include ufos, paranormal universe, as well as conspiracy theories (without politics involved).

Unfortunately, I agree with you. I would love to see one, but it'd probably be you and I and maybe a couple others in there.....lol. It would be helpful to bounce ideas off one another, as I do most of my own wrenching as well, but it would most likely be a ghost town.

Based on your suggestions in this thread, as well as others previously, 4 new subforums have been added to Klotsch: Space, Science & Discovery - Do It Yourself - Historical Topics - The Unknown.
There's a chance that we'll eventually add 1-2 more as well.
Hope y'all enjoy.
