Default Multiple C8 Forums.... Moderators?

All,

With the "coming out" of the C8, postings on this forum seem to be logging a few ba-zillion a day. In addition, threads are now asking/discussing a multitude of C8 aspects--all contained in one "general discussion" Forum folder.

Would it be possible to set up subfolders (i.e., subforums) for the C8, like the earlier generations have? It would make it a lot easier to weed through engine, body, paint color, suspension, pricing, allocations, constraints, 1LT/2LT/3LT, shoe size, etc, etc, etc postings.

Thanks..... Just sayin'.....Just a suggestion......

Top 5 C8 sub-forums needed:
1: Unsubstantiated false information
2: The Third Pedal-just can’t let it go
3. When? All questions about availability of anything
4. I don’t like/why did GM....?
5. Miscellaneous bitching/whining/trolling

Agree, no need to split into multiple C8 sub-forums until cars start being delivered.

May I suggest a sticky, that has sub-threads with each color in the wild, similar to the C7 forum.

With as many new threads popping up daily, and how much traffic there is on the C8 going on, I think splitting up forums would be a good idea at this point.

I don’t see categories for the sub forums you mentioned under the other gens?

He's talking about subject matter, not names of subforums.

Yep, like C7 General, C7 Tech, Z06 etc. I call those sub-forums, but maybe that's not the best term.
