Hi just wondering if we can have some new sections or sub sections please for example adding a bracelet or bangle section or adding sub sections in original catagories for example ;

Metal :

Round Face
Bracelet
Cuff
Bangle

And also to maybe have sub sections of the names of popular watches in each section eg

Swatch :

Swatch
Popswatch

Sorry if this sounds complicated but for people like me that like a specific type of watch it could make it a bit quicker to find what we like.

Cheers. :D

First of all, I'm sorry I recently opened a new topic on this matter; somehow I missed this existing one.
I have been lobbying for more sub-categories for several reasons:

1) The forum (and please correct me if I'm mistaken) originates from Watchmasters original website, based on a fetish for especially G-Shock/Baby-G and cuff watches. But watch fetish spreads over ALL types of watches. As an example, for me personally, those types of watches does nothing for me, and I know I'm not alone.

2) The stats for the forum clearly shows that a few more sub-categories wouldn't hurt. The two subforums "Metal" (an extremely broad category) and "Miscelaneous" (even more wide spanning) has around 10.500 posts combined. All other subforums (not including "XXX") combined has around 3.200 posts. It is indisputable that watches NOT already categorized by brand, are more popular.

3) Using the search feature, for example "Rolex" returns 650 hits, (199 alone for "Daytona"!), "Guess" returns 323 hits and "Cartier" 168 hits. These numbers are for posts where the word is actually included in the post; it does not include comments to these posts which doesn't include the actual word, so it is fair to assume an actual sub-category for any of these examples would have a lot more posts than actual hits.

4) There are a number of "non-brand" related fetishes revealed on the forum, including "Righty's" (watch worn on the right arm), "Insiders" (watch worn on the inside of the wrist), "Multiple" (wearing more than one watch) and so on and so forth. You would please a lot of users making a category, or separate categories, for these types of fetishes.

Rest asure, I acknowledge this would be a nightmare... but is it really neccesary? Why not think forward instead, the creation of new categories would be an asset from day one, even if existing topics weren't sorted. Besides, there must be a few of us that would be willing to give a helping hand. I would.

So once again I ask of you to reconsider this. And if I may, allow me to suggest the following new sub-categories:

"Rolex"
"Cartier"
"Toy-Watch and similar" (wide-spanning)
"Guess" (seems like a forum favorite)
"Michael Kors" (quite a lot of attention lately)
"Non-Brand related" (Righty, Inside, Multiple etc)

Thank you.

Nice points jacko. I would of leave righty/inside out of the sections, because there's a big chance on duplicated posts.

I am a righty lover but I don't mind going through the whole forum, looking at all new posts. I am not interested in some less beautifull girls with a watch that doesnt turn me on even if they wear it on the right. Therefor a righty only section wouldn't make my life easier ;) Also I sometimes like it if a beautifull girls wears a beautifull watch on the left.

I think Mutiples could be a sections because the chance on duplicate posts is very low. In my opinion insiders would also cause duplicate posts.

Someone (who has a good view on these things) should write all possible sections out on paper and catagorize them and then present the catogarizations here. You could even present 3 different setups and make it a vote. :)

But Watchmaster is the owner of the forum so we all have to wait for him to agree on this.
I also wouldn't mind to be a moderator on some section.

To anwsers that, you could just run 2 forums next to eachother, and make a link on the new forum to the old forum. So just start over again with a new setup but make it possible to view old posts.

I think it would be great to have more subcategories. We can discuss about it what is possible.
But we also must think about this sentence:

What are our options to do this?

Another thing to keep in mind, is the fact that a LOT of pics were KIA when the option to upload the pics to the forum (as opposed to simply link to pics) were removed. There are only few pics left in topics from before that time. Most of these topics and postings simply shows:
