This announcement was in the appropriate place. Here or NOTICE.

I posted it here because I rarely ever hear anyone mention the NOTICE forum. To me, it seemed if anyone would look anywhere, most would look here first.

Bonneville = car, Bonneville Club = computer

The Notice section is the first place I looked, because I had a site related issue, which was that I couldn't log in. It had nothing to do with my car, it had to do with my Dell computer logging on to this site.

At first glance the General Chat section would seem to be for used for what the Lounge is used for. But if you read the rest of the section description on the forum index page, it is for topics related to Bonneville cars only, not other cars, not Firebirds, Fords, or AMCs, and that is how it is moderated. It is a confusing label and that is why so much of the moderators time is spent moving stuff out of there and deciding where it should actually go. If it were labeled more accurately, perhaps the moderators workload would be reduced because members would be better aware of what topics go where.

In this special, hopefully short lived, circumstance, I chose to put it here because I thought it would be the most visible. Is it perfect? Maybe not. But plenty of people did find it.
Furthermore, as I look through the admin'* list of users currently on the site, I see a dozen guests browsing Gen Chat... not a single one in NOTICE.

Well I didn't until after I had logged in or I wouldn't have mentioned it.
I see room for improvement, so I speak up.
This won't be the last such incident.

Bastard, how about you stop Moderating the Staff of the Forum? Every decision made is carefully thought out and discussed.
It was posted here for some VERY good reasons. Drop the issue.

291 doesn't mean crap... that might only be 20-30 users...
I still say any site related problem should be in NOTICE.... hens the Name Notice...
