I like the idea John, even though it will mean more work for the mods!!!!

My home internet is down so gooseberried up and can't vote, but a big yes from me ;-)

Betty I didn't knock New School.
Just don't want to trawl through a ton of new school bikes.

I thought this is what the museum is for

Most recent is at the top of the first page. Maybe work on the museum section and make it more dynamic. If peeps put their new builds in the museum, me and my bikes, tech/chat/freestyle/racing etc and bike of the month too, how many more places do we really need?

bobafett · « **Reply #29 on:** May 09, 2011, 03:22 PM »

As I said before the museum and "me n my bikes" are comment free sections so members do not have the chance to comment on the build.

Posting new builds for comment in one dedicated area rather than tech/chat/freestyle/racing etc would actually reduce the number of places you would have to look in to see the latest builds

But it's up for the vote so lets see what people think over the next couple of weeks.

big yes from me, its great to see current styles and trends of old and new

Andy68 · « **Reply #31 on:** May 09, 2011, 08:10 PM »

Yep!!

rollin72 · « **Reply #32 on:** May 09, 2011, 08:41 PM »

this weekend has been a perfect example as to why a new build section is needed..5 new builds which have nearly gone off the page, only a bit of shameless self posting has kept them on view

waza04 · « **Reply #33 on:** May 09, 2011, 08:46 PM »

great idea....... another yes vote.

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #34 on:** May 09, 2011, 09:00 PM »

relly good idea - can't hurt to have this section

museum is for the finish bike and the new section is for builds and more info than museum has

standard question in tech get things pushed down and forgotten

run with it

New builds can go in Bike of the month... where you can comment on them?

Or is BOTM not for 'lowly' builds.... what is a 'lowly' build?

When people ( like Robbo ) finish an Old School Freestyler they post it up in Old School Freestyle... theres enough sections for people to do that surely.

jT Racing · « **Reply #39 on:** May 09, 2011, 10:35 PM »

but they get put up, people comment, they are seen, new stuff comes in and they go down the list. it would be no different in a dedicated section. as for comments, they only move down when the comments stop. just how much smoke can you blow up someone's arse

You could keep it real simple like some peeps do and post a link to the original thread in the museum and BOTM thread.
you can have to many sections on a forum, it gets messy and strung out.
new builds are nice, but they are only new for a very short time $:-\$

you can spend months scourcing , restoring parts, a lot of time and money and the finished bike gets shown for a couple of days..whats the point
get rid of another section..the jumble sale for instance not much really gets sold on there..and it is a BMX site, as has been said when they are in the tech'n'resto section loads of questions are asked and new builds are lost

bobafett · « **Reply #41 on:** May 09, 2011, 10:48 PM »

I agree that you can have too many sections and that's why it's up for the vote rather than just adding it in straight away

But where should a recently finished build go without it ? Some chose Race / freestyle, others tech n resto, I've seen plenty posted in chat it' all over the place as it stands don't you think ?

It's not about blowing smoke up anyone's @rse as you put it J.T. - it's about people seeing the bikes - that is what the old school section of the site is about after all..... the bikes

Many people log on infrequently and have a quick look what's new and any new builds but they've already missed them............

Ed - comments often get removed in BOTM when the thread is cleaned up before voting mate, and lots of people don't enter BOTM $:-\$

Anyways........ it's something to be decided by the members so use your vote

your meant to build em for yourself and your own enjoyment. well at least that's why most do it. that's the point.

rollin72 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 09, 2011, 11:04 PM »

well wouldnt the site be a great place if nobody bothered to show any of their bikes

Will it be split in sections?
Don't want to look at modern bikes or have to trawl through new school stuff.

All that old tat is the same anyway!
