I don't get it. The HELM board is closed down because it isn't focused enough, but we have a "luxury lounge" board and a "Taste of Lexus" things that have could be covered in the HELM board?   Pat what is going on here? We're closing a years-old board that covered everything about luxury marques for 2 or more new boards that will no doubt get far less traffic (no offense dman, I see you started this thread).   M Replies to this message: pat (Nov 10, 2006 8:19 am) garyh1 (Nov 10, 2006 8:24 am) tagman (Nov 10, 2006 8:31 am)

Replying to: merc1 (Nov 10, 2006 7:37 am) The discussion was too large (over 20,000 posts) and too separated from its declared topic. As I said there, feel free to create a discussion of any subject of interest. As long as the topic remains the main subject within the discussion - which has not been true of the High End Luxury Marques discussion for a long time (your much-appreciated efforts towards that end notwithstanding) - it's viable.   Regarding the "Taste of Lexus" discussion, there is only one Lexus that belongs in a High End discussion. The TOL events cover, and therefore elicit posts about, very many vehicles that do not.

Replying to: merc1 (Nov 10, 2006 7:37 am) I'm with you, Merc. This action really takes the cake in corporate self-destruction. The reasoning totally escapes me. What had been created was a forum to discuss the comparative virtues of high end sedans, and as far as I can tell, it was the most prolific of all Edmunds forums. So sure, close it down since it was "too large" (meaning too much use?) and "too off topic" (whatever that means). I guess the Luxury Performance Sedans (LPS) board should be the next to go - too large, too broad a topic, too popular....   So now, without the HELM forum, Edmunds will suddenly become a much more successful site?   OK, so perhaps this can be a place to discuss "luxury" cars and their manufacturers - that's what I personally am interested in, that's the only thing that brought me to Edmunds' forums. Or perhaps this will this also be declared "off-topic".

Replying to: merc1 (Nov 10, 2006 7:37 am) merc - I'll watch for your posts, and if this is the new meeting place, then fine. Otherwise, perhaps we can start a new forum where we can legitimately discuss the types of things we have been doing all along.   TagMan

High End Luxury Vehicles   ...hopefully focused enough for Edmunds' management.
#26 of 21519 Hi guys by pat HOST Nov 10, 2006 (10:18 am)
Syswei, thank you very much for taking me up on my suggestion to create a new place where we could truly have a conversation about high end vehicles. I hope to see everyone there shortly.   Merc, gary, tag - everyone else interested - I'm sorry we had to do what we had to do. A discussion that large - and yes, that unfocused - is pretty overwhelming for someone looking to join a conversation about, say, an A8 or an S-Class. It's actually pretty much off-putting, when you get down to it.   And then there's the thing about "marques". What is a "marque"? Heck, we didn't even know. How could someone looking around for a new, fun place to hang out know what we meant by that?   Syswei has given us the perfect solution, in my opinion. Read his opening post and let's go from there. If you have other subjects you'd like to discuss, please, please create a new discussion! I'll help you if you need help with it.   Nobody's saying you can't talk about what you want to talk about - not at all. Let me know how I can help. I'll be glad to.
