Dan,
I'm sure Ron will chime in if he sees this but I can tell you that talkcobra can support any number of new forums/subforums as the need arises. The administrators agree that it would be good for the site to take a turn more toward the technical side. Do you think we should create some technical forums on the basis of "build it and they will come"? There are some very knowledgeable members over there and some who are very well connected into the original cobra community. Are there members here who would participate if there were more forums specific to their liking?
It's also true that the site has a "girls and cars" thread and a "politics" thread. There have been very few complaints about the girl thread (just keep scrolling if that's not your thing) and I find it amazing that the political thread doesn't devolve into chaos. Talkcobra may be unique in that there is absolutely no fighting or name calling, just some good-natured ribbing that's all in fun between members who know each other. I don't recall a single instance of an argument or disagreement turning ugly in years.
Thoughts?
