mushrat Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Your mods have volunteered to undertake a reorganizing of the section. Its goign to eventually end up organized by brand, then subforums for different lines of the same company, then finally down to the specific flavour. This is gonna suck doing but hey, can't hurt. So if a section or a brand disappears suddenly it will be back eventually. Hows that for informative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoozle Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I really appreciate the efforts, Guys. Just a week ago, I was trying AF Pineapple for the first time in a lounge and it was in the top 5 WORST hookah sesions I have ever had. First thing I did was jump over to HF and check the AF reviews looking for Pineapple. I needed to see if the tobacco was horrible or the lounge pipe. As it turns out it was an awful combination of both. Sorting reviews by flavor would have been very convenient. I ordered Plum, but then the guy came back and said they were out, so I had to shoot from the hip on a second choice. I'll be sure to check reviews first next time.

Chreees Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I've started moving threads. Banging out Tangiers Noir first, then Lucid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSmokes Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) So you want something like this? Brand 1 -- Line 1 ---- Flavor 1 ---- Flavor 2 ---- Flavor 3 -- Line 2 ---- Flavor 1 ---- Flavor 2 ---- Flavor 3 Brand 2 -- Line 1 ---- Flavor 1 ---- Flavor 2 ---- Flavor 3 -- Line 2 ---- Flavor 1 ---- Flavor 2 ---- Flavor 3 Something like that? That seems like a lot of work and leaving many flavor forums next to empty. Why not just use the prefix system for the flavors in the "Line" forums so people can easily sort out what flavors they want to see but making the forum appear more active? I think you can even add custom code to the top of each forum to show the prefixes you can select from, if you click it, then it filters out all the other threads so you just see the flavor reviews. Either that, or have a dedicated thread to each flavor in each line and order the Line forums in alphabetical order so people can easily find the flavors if they don't want to use the search within forum feature. And then there is the problem about all the reviews people already posted....are you planning on manually separating each post and moving it to the proper section? That's going to take years to do with all the reviews in the reviews section. Or are you going to archive the current section and then anyone that is still active here (maybe even send out a mass email to the inactive ones)...have everyone move over their reviews to the new sections? I think the way you are currently going at it may not yield that great of results. Too many forums, with too many subforums, with even more subforums to that...users don't like having to click and click and click to get to the section they need. On my site that I own: [img]http://www.imagesnatcher.com/img/new/d99dec8b569f8b94/2731e1.png[/img] (banned and spam accounts don't show up on member count, the true amount of people that have signed up is 494,950; same goes for deleted threads, hidden threads, etc) I've found that people do not like the click past 2 deep. Meaning, you have one forum you click to go into, and then one more subforum you click to go into. Even that is too much for some users. If you have access to the analytical data, you'll be able to see if this new change is going to either harm or help the site after gathering a few weeks to months worth of information. I don't see google analytics installed on this site so I guess it doesn't matter, you'll have to then keep track of all the ACP stats such as registrations, posts per day, threads per day, and then eventually posts/threads per month and compare to pre and post changes to the site. EDIT: It appears I misunderstood what you were getting at. Looks like you are doing what I had suggested above (part of the suggestion above). Sorry.

Chreees Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Check it out: [url="http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/130-tangiers/"]http://www.hookahfor...m/130-tangiers/[/url] Also, I've asked Mush to organize the flavor threads alphabetically. You may see more than one thread per flavor for right now. No worries, that just makes it easier to split them apart. Once Mush reorganizes them alphabetically, it'll be super easy to just select all of the threads of the same name and merge them as one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Went ahead and did the Birquq flavors since there were only 15 reviews. Surprised there weren't more... C'mon guys, get the new flavors and review 'em! I would if I had money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm kinda wishing I hadn't said anything now... Been working on the Noir reviews for hours now. Went from 18 pages and down to 10 now, though! Once they're all done, gotta wait for Mush to apply the alphabetical ordering, then gotta go through and merge the flavors back together into single threads... Oh well, it WILL be worth it in the end. Going to be SO much nicer when trying to find reviews for a specific flavor. Oh, and there's 5 pages of brands... I think we're going to have to focus it on the most popular brands, haha. At least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Also, for those posts that contain multiple reviews for different flavors, I put them in this thread, which won't be in the new subforum: http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/47076-tangiers-mixed-and-multiple-reviews/ I'll be doing this for every brand we make subforums for. If you want, feel free to repost your reviews into the appropriate flavor threads when we get it all set up, and ask a mod to delete your old multiple review post. Thanks.

Chreees Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Noir reviews are done! Just need to merge the same-flavor threads back together once Mush enables alphabetical ordering and we'll be in business. Tomorrow on the agenda... Lucid. Birquq and F-Line are done as well. Then I'm planning on moving to Nakhla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 ah..sorry i actually started the Star Buzz section next. But I can also add the Nakhla section. If you are making new reviews folks, make one post per flavour or we will have to ask you to redo it for the new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks to whoever merged all the Noir flavor threads. It looks great!
