magick777 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Recently I've been searching for reviews on particular bowls and hoses, and I haven't had much luck. The search function doesn't seem to find things that I could swear I have seen browsing the forums. Seems to me that we'd do better to have a topic per hose/bowl in a dedicated subforum than to have multiple replies to a single topic. So, can we have new subforums for hoses and bowls? Sure, it means more threads overall, but it will likely improve searchability and forum administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Are you using the advanced search? The simple search is just that. Simple. That being said I guess we could put a bored mod to work seperating the broad subforum. I guess as these sections grow we should try and keep up.

Chreees Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 What exactly are we looking to do here? Just add new sections for each particular thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magick777 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yup, probably reduce the remit of "other" to things that are non-standard enough that we can't predict LOTS of reviews for such an item. Specific suggestions: - subforum for bowl reviews, new reviews end up with one thread per item - subforum for hose reviews, ditto - subforum for shisha wetting & flavouring agents e.g. Molazzle, Mola-Mix, Jeff's 7 Elements, etc. Suggest handling as per tobaccos, one review thread per brand, individual flavours in a thread Dunno where the point of diminishing returns is... doubt we need to take it as far as a subforum for windshields, cleaning brushes or whatever, but, I would regard at least the above as worthwhile.

Chreees Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If Mush will set up some subforums, I'll start moving threads around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Magick brotha man, I'm working on it for you... I didn't realize how bad the review section really was until I started moving the hose reviews around, haha. It was like one huge clusterfuck of a thread. I split it all up now where each kind of hose (or brand rather) has its own thread, which should make searching easier for you. So the hoses are done, and I'll do the bowls tomorrow 'cause I have a bit of homework that needs to be done for tomorrow. I'll probably get to 'em tomorrow. I think the bowls are actually in pretty good order already (thanks to Mushy), but I'm going to view each one individually and make sure it's all good.

Chreees Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Oh and talk about messed up... the hookah pipe reviews are all over the place, with the wrong models on threads, comments here and there that are from before the no-comments-in-reviews rule, etc. I'll work on that as well.

Chreees Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Oh I won't, don't worry. EDIT: The hookah pipes [i]should[/i] all be good now. Kinda skimmed, so may have missed something. Definitely shouldn't be duplicate threads for the same pipe, though. And the bowls are all good too. Yes, I ignored my homework. Mush, we wanting to keep the coals as-is or should we break those down into brands (one review thread per brand, or atleast a brand thread for the major coal brands)? I can see it being easier searching for a certain brand that way instead of the person trying to figure out which thread it's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It might take an unbelievable amount of time, but it might be nice break the pipe forum into subforum based on type (i.e; mya, khalil mamoon, syrian, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Haha, I wouldn't mind another brother amongst our ranks. Honestly though it wouldn't take long to move 5 pages of threads into certain subforums. What do you want to do about the coals, Mush? Leave as-is or break 'em down into brand threads?

mushrat Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 um...ya I guess 1 thread per brand on the coals. And i can see a subforum for each pipe maker...maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I ahve to get to work, but someone can start moving the pipes into their proper subforums if they are bored. Ill create more subforums later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 K, I'll start working on the coals today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 you'll have to wait until i make a folder for them. Feel free to work on the pipes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well for the coals I was just going to break down the threads giving each brand their own thread. Then they can easily be put into categories. I guess that's what you mean by make a folder? Like have different categories: Natural Coconut, Japanese Style, Quicklights, Wood Naturals, etc. All I was going to do was make one thread for all the Coconara reviews, one for all the Exotica reviews, one for all of the Three Kings quicklights reviews, and so on.
