That's good for organizing data, but over the years we've found here and on ModernVespa that it's not as good for building community. Members will tend to stick to their own little areas and things get a bit cliquish and divided. We're not just here for answering questions but building a community of owners. Also, people learn and discover much more with most posts in one place.
Unfortunately, this forum was already split into a few sections by the time this became apparent. Ideally, we'd have two major sections, "General," which would include all the Genuine automatics (most of which are pretty darn similar anyways), and one for the manual Stellas.
There are more than two times the number of posts in the Stella forum than in the much older Black Cat, Rattler & Roughhouse Discussion one. The Blur forum also has far fewer.
So. What to do about the Stella Auto? Not a PGO-built Genuine. Totally different parts. But as different from a Stella manual as the Blur is. Um… I've flipped on this a couple of times, not wanting to compound the issue of having too many sub-forums.
The idea for now is to put the Stella Auto with the other Stellas. Of course, posts about it are welcome here in General Discussions, but the more technical, specific stuff in the Stella forum.
Thanks for your indulgence.
