What do you guys think? Do you want to see the inspector section split into a few boards? I was thinking Exterior, Interior, Commercial and Thermal for now. We could add more later. Suggestions?

Hah. No I have a 9 page list for the software alone. Just approaching the time to split a little as our numbers grow. Maybe we'll wait a little longer. Dunno.

Wouldn't bother me a bit to split it up.  I would think if your going to spend the time to split things up you may want to go a little further than just the four categories you mentioned.  That way your not having to do it all over again later.

The problem with splitting things up too much is that it makes it more difficult to find posts and there's more places to check. When you have more users, then you can split it up some more. This is the strategy I followed with another forum I run that has close to a million posts. If we had expanded too quickly it kills the board.

Lol exactly. We're growing at a fast rate though. I think I'll wait a month and then split it up. We need to get some more of our members out onto the board.

I'm curious to know, how many members do you have now?  How many have websites?  You don't have to answer if you feel its private stats information.

The number of users at the bottom is a combo of guys who use HIP and the guys who use the websites. If they use both they still only have 1 account.

If I make it free I need someone to pay my bills!

Would it be better if guys were to add their e-mail addresses to their profiles for quick responses. For instance the SEO thread, I'll bet more than half (maybe way more than half) of the posts are just saying "your linked". Could that be better served by sending an e-mail or does it matter. I myself an always on one of my six e-mail accounts.  Cheesy

or send the 'you're linked' message in a private message would work too. I agree that one is hard to keep track of.

It serves its purpose to show its an active thread that guys participate in. I went a new direction in making it easier for you guys to track rather than the wiki. Should be done soon.

Almost everyone has an email link under their photo along with pm button.

Split, split, split, split -->  can't you hear the chanting now?

By the way, I don't check the SEO very often, maybe once every 2 or 3 days, just to see if there is a new guy I haven't linked to yet.  There are too many comments floating around to keep track of daily!
