Hi Panpot,
As you know (because you, me and others, certainly discussed it at the time), the decision was made (not just by me) to (yes, deliberately :
) reorganize your Ashoka posts to fit better with the forum structure.
As you also know, the forum is currently structured so that completed recipes are posted in the various recipe sections and unrelated chat is posted in the various chat sections (at least this is what is supposed to happen). This is intended to make it easier for all to find content (because it is, or should be, in the relevant sections). This clearly isn't the only option for structuring the forum, nor is it necessarily the best. But it is the structure that we currently have. I understand what you are proposing and I can see the merits (though I believe we need to be clearer on precisely what is being proposed).
I'm sure you will acknowledge that your Ashoka posts were a hotchpotch of reasonably complete recipes, largely incomplete recipes and related (and unrelated) chat and comments. Single Ashoka threads thereby ran into several hundred posts (making things very hard to find) and included many different recipes (both complete and incomplete) and related (and unrelated) chat. I therefore reorganized the posts in an attempt to make them easier for all to follow. It certainly works adequately, in my opinion, if posts are made in appropriate sections of the forum and links are provided to other relevant threads (which, I believe, I have done with your Ashoka posts).
However, if sufficient members feel an alternative structure is "better", then they really need to motivate for it (clearly stating what is actually being proposed and citing the benefits to the forum and its members). It then remains for someone to agree to reorganize the forum to accommodate those wishes. Currently, only Admin (i.e. Stew) can do this.
I suggest that anyone, who wishes to propose structural changes to the forum, creates a thread in the relevant section of the forum (i.e. "forum administration") and motivates for changes with other members and, ultimately, Stew.
Posting the suggestions in this thread is seriously off topic (apologies to the originator for my post) and will, therefore, most likely go unheeded. Similarly, "protestations" :
are more than likely to go unheeded. I think Stew is most likely to oblige well considered, well presented, well justified and well supported requests made in the relevant section of the forum (or maybe not). After all, it is he who would have to restructure the forum (unless, of course, he delegates it). And you (or others) could do worse than to make it as easy as possible for him to oblige.
Apologies for the diatribe!
