Training and Behavior, redundant?Doesn't the homing and the performance sections sum this forum up?
It seems as if threads can go multiple ways? In other words is this not redundant?

No, the homing and racing forum is specifically for discussing homing and racing birds. We did have a lot of threads in the GENERAL section, not anywhere near homing/racing forum with threads about clocks and software and innoculations and club bands and how to train birds to fly home WHICH OBVIOUSLY DID NOT BELONG THERE. , hopefully this helps organize it all a bit better.
Plus TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR also overlaps into the other fancier forums, like performing breeds (rollers) as well as the PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT which actually encompasis all FANCIERS. Anyone with pet pigeons would also be considered a fancier and we have had a lot of people asking about trying to figure out their pigeon's behavior as well as what kind of cage to purchase, feeders and waterers. etc. We shall see.

I don't even come on here much anymore, with the new sub topucs I probably won't at all.

That being said I agree, the answer is not to add sections we already have too many to begin with. Many of them with only a couple threads. This forum is way to small for the number of forums we have...

Hello. I agree with Azcorbin so far. Thanks.

Just wanted to Chime in agreement with AZcorbin. I guess if people want to discuss homing pigeon training then they can use the homing pigeon section, If wanting to discuss performance breed training then they can use the performance breeds section or if wanting to discuss show pen training they can use the show pigeons section.. I have no problem with the new section but agree its not really neccesary.

I'm still trying to figure out what difference there is between the racing subforum and the training /behavior forum.

will it make any difference in reality ?
some folk just post where they like in any respect, either because they cant be bothered looking or searching, but also because theres so may places where a particular coment or question could be placed. Some even post the same thing in several places. There are things that can apply in several topics so its very difficult to acertain where to split things, ie if a fancier has a health prob with a bird, does he post in the fancier section, where he may actually get better understanding from another fancier, or in sick/injured where he may get a better solution albeit not so practical for him. To be honest, because of its success, the board has become so diverse and large that the whole thing really needs to be totally re-structured, but that is a near impossible task, especially as it continues to grow at the same time. What I do think would be a good idea is to have certain moderators in charge of certain forums & subforums, perhaps within their own interest field, with the particular moderator listed in the forum/subforum heading. This would spread the overal burden of moderation of alarge board & possibly help keep the topics in their correct places at the same time.

Some good points, Bob.
I think we should recognize that most of the accessible forums on the board exist because, at some time, various members brought up the idea behind them. But, people move on, time shows what was or not a good idea, or initial enthusiasm dies (breed of the week forum was a prime example - people just did not deliver). I do think that,over the years, we have maybe tried to get down too far into detailed sections. Restructuring would be possible, but it is a time-consuming task. IF we were to attempt it, it would OUR decision as to how it was done. We have gone the route of trying to please everyone, or accede to requests by a few, inviting debate ... it has got us where we are now, talking about restructure  We have also tried the certain mods for certain forums method, and that never held together. The idea IS good, but it only works if mods run with it and make it work.
