A question about : Dear Mods...

i've just had a quick look at the main board, and think that every thread that is currently there, has nothing to do with deals, and has everything to do about planning, so can you move ALL THE THREADS, apart from the travel insurance one...

see now how pointless this board is?

Best answers:

  • I agree.
    I fail to see the difference between what the purposes are between the two boards.
    Perhaps separate boards for things that are distinct, such as travel insurance or flights/airlines if there is a need to split this forum.
  • it needs to be on both... insurance deals, and insurance planning
    new york deals and new york planning
    vegas deals and vegas planning
    etc etc ad infinium
  • sturll..
    what poll do you suggest... i'd make one, but it might be overly sarcastic...
  • I would like to suggest two sub boards for the subjects that crop up very frequently and 'clog' the main board with their repetitive nature:
    1. everything related to low cost air travel
    2. everything related to currency/holiday spending (be it cash, t.cheques or cards)
    That way the people that don't mind answering the same questions over and over again (and get narky when other's suggest the 'search' function) can answer the same questions week in week out to their hearts content) eg:
    I have been ripped off by (insert name of budget airline here) what can I do?
    I have put the wrong name/date/age on my booking, what can I do?
    Please explain luggage allowances and charges/speedy boarding/check in fees etc
    Should I change my pounds to (insert name of currency here) now or later?
    What currency is best for (insert destination here)
    How much will I be charged for using my card abroad?
    etc
  • Wait, I've had a much better idea - I think DMG, Markymoo, Sturll and I should just adjourn to the nearest pub, get sloshed and forget about all of this!
  • VOTE VOTE VOTE... only a few days to vote on what YOU think should be the sub forum on the boards..
    the public will speak, us geeks will rule...
    blah blah blah...

  • damn.. missed the currency idea as a sub forum....
  • I voted to keep it as it was, with a view to having a few stickies. Failing that it would have to be Budget Airlines.
  • I voted that the sub board should be deals and special offers, then its back to exactly how it was before, but the cheap deals will be easier to find (and it is a money saving forum after all).
    I also agree that the insurance questions are also holiday planning, so should be on over here on the sub board
  • all the budget airline lovers are voting to keep it as it was... nooo.... we need a budget airlines board...
