Would it be helpful to have the forum sections broken down by manufacturer eg. Wanted > Icom, Wanted > Motorola?

I generally agree with you 35rem and added the poll after a member was struggling to thin one of the sections down.

Creating the sub-topics is very easy to do, moving the existing stuff would be a long job but would be possible. Re-coding the rest of the site that interacts with the forum would be demanding but also possible.

One thing that would fall apart would be the links from Google and other search engines as their BOTs add new links daily but removing old links can take years, literally!

For this reason, only demand will drive the change.

LZ2NJG I'm an IT Tech I do website programming, you can redirect broken link in the .htaccess file using wildcards also helps but that is also can be a super big task if you re-sort all the threads. Over all I think if you going to make new sections don't resort old threads instead move then all to an Archive (still ppl can actively post but no new threads in here) then its super easy to add a redirect for search engines or direct links ppl saved. Then any new post going forward would be in the broken down section.

With many years of website and SEO experience my advice is either do not re-sort the threads or do the archived section and if you still have time after that move a handful of recent or high activity threats into the new sections and add redirects for the old links in the .htaccess file.

Not sure your technical level but if some of this your unsure about and want help feel free to contact me by email.
P.S. I code in php, mysql, javascript mainly but tinkered with several other languages.

I have now done the Hardware/Software hacks section as a trial.

Fortunately, the number of posts was small but every one had to be moved individually because there were so many messages that didn't belong in that section and had to be moved to the correct area. This means some sort of database automation is not going to work.

This looks like it's going to be a monster job O_o
