Replying to: merc1 (Oct 17, 2006 9:25 pm) What would you folks think about some kind of "lounge" for M-Class? I don't know if that's possible given the requirements but I think it's worth exploring.   tidester, host Replies to this message: merc1 (Oct 18, 2006 4:28 am) rcf8000 (Oct 18, 2006 5:08 am) billmv (Oct 20, 2006 4:18 pm) tidester (Oct 20, 2006 6:32 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 17, 2006 9:25 pm) I agree that this is a needless complication. The old system ebbed and flowed and you could get a feel for the car by following the discussion. One might be surprised by where the discussion went and discover some unusual bits of information that you wouldn't think of looking for. Since I am thinking of trading in my Lexus RX in a couple of years I am following 4 or 5 cars which is bad enough. Now I will be following 40 or 50 separate discussions. Ridiculous.

Replying to: tidester (Oct 17, 2006 10:45 pm) I guess I don't see why anything needs to be changed. I mean what is wrong with a "M-Class" discussion. People have used a single thread to talk about pricing, styling, peformance, buying tips etc. etc. for years and there was no problem. The last round of changes were enough IMO. The tracking feature is great though, but with these pending changes you'll need to track 4-5 different threads or a whole group of discussions for just one vehicle. It doesn't make sense and makes finding the information a particular vehicle that much harder, IMO.   M Replies to this message: rcf8000 (Oct 18, 2006 5:08 am)

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 18, 2006 4:28 am) There have been only 87 posts in this discussion in 20 months. I don't think any more "discussions" on the 2006+ M class are needed.

Replying to: tidester (Oct 17, 2006 10:45 pm) Tidester.....I agree with the others. It wasn't broken. Why try to fix it? Were there massive complaints about the general thread? Or is someone at Edmunds just trying to justify keeping their job by making changes? What's the difference between a "lounge" and a "general" thread? there is none. Just a new name. If you want to let people "be in charge" and create new threads, then let people keep existing threads. I'll bet you the existing general threads will continue to attract the most users.   You can't have management in charge when it comes to shutting down threads but the users in charge when it comes to creating new ones. It's either one or the other.   This applies to all makes and models. Every model should have one "general" thread.   You're going to ruin a good thing.

Replying to: billmv (Oct 20, 2006 4:18 pm) Hi, Bill. Thanks for your comments.   There's been a lot of discussion on the "whys" over in the software forums so I won't rehash all of that here. Basically, we have LARGE numbers of people coming to the site looking for specific information and help but they are completely put off when they come across general discussions containing thousands of messages or even tens of thousands in some cases! And they do complain!   We're trying to make it easier for them to get the information they need so they'll just go to group pages and pick out the relevant discussion.   What's the difference between a "lounge" and a "general" thread?   The general threads, as they exist, suggest the answers are contained therein and that puts us back to square one. I think that a "general" discussion with a more informal name (such as "lounge" or whatever) won't be viewed as a primary data source but will maintain the continuity of interaction among those of us who just like to talk about our vehicles.   Also, when questions and issues of broader interest do arise in the more informal discussion there is always the option of moving it to or picking it up in the specific topics.   Yes, it's a little different but I think it will better serve both the noob and the more experienced participant in the end.   I hope that helps!   tidester, host
