    As the R56 continues to grow and more and more people are buying them would the members like to have a dedicated forum for each generation?

    I've already thought and will impletment a new forum set as Ben's suggestion, but, would still be interested in what folks think.

    I don't want to create forums that will get significantly reduced posts, so, keep that in mind when voting

    I don't know how I'd react to you splitting it into 1st gen v 2nd gen I might find myself only looking at the 1st gen bit as that's what I've got which would be disappointing

    I think if you were to try it the way i suggested on the other thread and try to do this aswell it would leave the threads in these forums to thin... I don't know if there are enough posts to do it. I would like to be proved wrong and see this work though

    I like it the way it is, although maybe the mods, faults and fixes split and possible the DIY section to.

    The danger of doing that though is a lot of people with R56 have had the previous models, so you lose a bit of exposure to the issues then.

    I don't know if NMS is big enough to support separate forums for the models is it?
