New Title: Tsikot Forum Format Changes Discussion

[rsnald]

well well well... pinoy nga naman... :lol: :lol: only goes to show why we now have the kind of congress that we see on TV and that's now running like a circus... :lol: di talga magkasundo-sundo ang mga noypi :lol:

at least this shows that democracy is at work in this country

... the points of each and everyone of us is valid.... pero... masasabi ko lang... let's give this change a chance... kung di mag-click, palagay ko naman the mods will react appropriately :D

to the mods... let me share w/ you a quotation that I have kept on my desk for some time.

" There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things, because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old condition, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new --- Machiavelli, 1513"

good luck mga pre! keep up the good work ;)

[sequoia]

parang sa congress nga, watak-watak, kanya kanya nang grupo, kung baga sa barkada, kanyakanyang maliliit na kwentuhan. so next week pagbotohan na natin kung ok o hindi, para demokratik talaga...

Hindi ko napapansin na ganyan na ang forum format. Kelan pa yan? :D Hindi ko kasi binubuksan yung Forum page mismo.

OT:
Guys, why don't you try using the "View New Posts" na lang. At least andun lahat ng bago. Yun lang kahit overnight lang mga 4 pages na kaagad kaya dapat every 3 hours nagche-check, like me. (adik ba? hehe)

oh! i've thought of a new question!

san na ilalagay ang Versus threads?

honda city vs toyota vios?

civic vs corolla vs lynx?

crv vs rav4?

all car comparison threads should be posted in the Car Buzz forum.

[effone]

well, alam natin na kaya ayaw natin ng bago ay dahil sanay na tayo dun sa exixting format and no one has ever questioned how things workout currently.

and we all know whoever thought of this has a reason to push this thinking the best for every tsikoters.

Lets give it a try first then if things won't workout fine, then thats the time we contest.

we already experienced this scenario,

remember when MMDA implemented the U-turn scheme - marami nag react kesyo mahirap daw, matrapik din, walang kwenta.

pero tingnan nyo what happen - nasanay na tao kaya wala na arguments, everything goes smooth. in some ways siguro may negative, buts lets look on the brighter side.

peace!!!

[artpogi]

IMHO I like the old format. Masyadong cluttered (spelling/term?) itong bago.

But let's give this new format a chance. say a week, then let's all get back here and voice out our preference.

very true, rsnald...

i have put a new link under the Main Menu.

Search by xx Days. You can use this to see the new posts by a certain number of days (your choice, 1, 2, 3 days, etc.).

From here you will see how fast new posts are being posted per day. We are only 3000+ members (with at least 10% of the membership active per day).

This is an example of a search just done now for the past 1 day: Displaying Topics 1 to 25 of 103.

Just imagine, several years from now, when our population has grown 10 times and more, how the Car Talk forum will be overwhelmed with so many new threads and posts that a thread can literally be buried under tons of new threads.

and if you will just examine the present forums now, example, Honda Forum, which have threads imported from the old Car Talk forum, there are at least 9 threads on the same topic Honda City. Make a search for Honda City...

This is a consequence of threads being relegated to the inner pages in a very active forum. Hopefully, with the new set-up, members can go to a specific forum for a particular topic/car make and see the threads more clearly.

yup, changes sometimes are difficult and painful.

but sometimes, there are really necessary.

[afrasay]

Bakit kaya nawala yun start ko na thread "samurai" sa suzuki forum? Kaninang umaga ko post. then after looking at it nawala. nag start ulit ako then after an hour nawala ulit.

[tsikot]

nawala?

wala naman kami nidelete... not even a single post....

what time did you post it, afrasay?

anyway, will check and lok for it...

[ryan]

For me, mas ok talga yung new format although of course, may point naman ang comments ng lahat...

With the new format, mas naiiba yung tsikot.com compared sa other local car forums and like tsikot said, mas prepared for more posts and growth for the future.

I'm sure medyo nalilito yung iba satin but I think just give it a few weeks lang and some of the guys will have forgotten how the old forums looked like before they know it. Anyways, meron ren naman list of all new posts so di masyado mahirap i-navigate yung topics that you might be interested in.

just my 2 cents worth..

[ian_rex]

let us try muna. then if not effective then let us do something about it. nakakagulat ha.

[RafRaf]

meron pa naman car buzz, more than looks, the workshop and deiselclub.org for the 'cross-brand/make' posts eh. kumbaga, nadagdagan lang ng pang individual make/brand... i think this will work!

[tsikot]

thanks rafraf

yup...

there are still several cross-brand/make forums...

this move will just rationalize our community... otherwise, in the future, it can easily become one big super palengke of threads and posts, with mega forums, having tens and tens of new threads whizzing by...

[racerx]

the hardest thing to accept is change...

why don't we give it a try?

[theveed]

Medyong in between ako... The new format will SURELY lessen the OPPORTUNITY of interaction between members, especially the new ones. Even with the existing forum format, kung di ako interested sa mga contents sa isang board, chances are I wont visit that board... Yes merong View New Post, which I use every single time, but hassle padin sobra to switch from one board to another... Lalo na na mataas ang traffic ng Tsikot = slow loading of pages. Nakakatamad mag browse kung naka modem ka lang. Adding new sections will just slow things down even more.

On the other hand, medyong magulo din ang mga segments kung nasisingitan ng mga ibang topics na di related masyado. But I think trabaho ng mga mods to move things as needed.

Kasi if you do need specific brand info (e.g. Honda), you can always use the flexible Search function and go from there.

I'm willing to give this a shot, but I think there's really way too much segragation between boards na magiging tedious (and not enjoyable) mag browse ng tsikot compared to others.

One benefits for this changes is to give oppurtunity to different car clubs to Freely post their announcements ....

for honda clubs, mitsuclubs, nissan clubs etc ...

they can even invite people to become a member of their club...

some of the car clubs dont have any forums anymore , yung iba nagkaroon ng mga konting problems ...

atleast tsikot can provide them with specific forum of their own...

and most likely , if a certain club member would browse to their respective branded forum, for sure, they will also visit other topics/threads ...

we still have our biggest forum like pitstop andmy own garage, and for that pwede pa din mag-interact lahat ng member...

Car buzz is there to compare diff brands ...

We also did some research from different Auto forums offshore, most of them are very big already, and they also segregated different brand forums ..

lets give this a try ...

at kung hindi man ito magwork, pwede naman po natin mag-adjust ulit ...

para sa ikakabuti ng lahat

salamat po

[edzzz]

sana mas i-lessen yung segregation, parang sobrang dami eh.
ex:
Japanese cars
Euro cars
American cars

opinion lang, kasi mejo nakakahilo rin mag click ng marami eh

ika nga, change is good, change is inevitable.....

[pepengtom]

sandali lang, masasanay din naman kayo jan. d ko pa rin masyado binobrowse ang forum section, sa view new post lang ako palagi

[odell]

yah.. un japanese american pati euro na lang.. sorba dame kasi apg brands... un mga ibang brands naman na hidne pa andyan panu naman sila.... just my piece.hehehe
