"Special skills and advice" subforum, or something similar?
One of the great things about OT on calguns, I always thought, was that you could pop in and ask a random question about just about anything and SOMEone there was an expert on it. Has there been any thought of a narrowly focused "not gun related but I have a question and would like some advice on 'stuff'" subforum? Keeps the
s and the politics and such out of it, but retains the super ultra helpful community aspect of a wide swath of people knowing skills they enjoy sharing, that we don't even know exist.
As I type that I remember ikeo mentioning that he was hoping Calguns would come back up and that stuff could stay in OT there, so maybe not, but I've always thought it was the most valuable resource, besides staying current on 2a stuff, of the old Calguns.
Advice on anything from books to read to how to replace subfloors in a house to how to set timing on an old mopar to the depth that japanese maple treelings need to be planted at when it's going to be in the teens half the winter, etc etc etc. Yea, all that can be found on other forums and in other places, but I always felt it was one of the greatest strengths of the big old calguns community.
Brainstorming, as I am reading and researching the best way to make my ~6k square foot lawn look nice and how to replant it since it's just dirt and some random weeds since I bought the place almost 2 years ago...and realizing I should have done it 6 weeks ago instead of in the spring.
(As I typed the thread title, it gave me a "is this already being discussed?" drop down with "suggest removing unnecessary subforums" thread which I have to go read now. HAhahah. That drop down feature is cool. I like it.
