Following up on the discussion in this thread:
http://www.punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22143
Any chance of adding a new forum for cooking, recipes and restaurant reviews/recommendations? Those subjects comes up often on Punatalk but often get buried by other issues, so think a new forum might be a good idea where it would be much easier to find these topics.
Anyone want to second this? Thoughts?

I love the idea. It seems we've danced all around the subject on other threads. Why not just have one dedicated to grinds?

I feel the same about posts on good sales etc. Like if Longs has bacon on sale for $3.99 a pound or amazon is selling a truckload of toilet paper for a dolla.

i think both a food recommendation forum and a sales/specials forum would be fantastic additions. great ideas, TomK and Terracore.

Don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but the opening page for this blog is already sort of cluttered with topical subforums, some of which go inactive for weeks or even months at a time.

Have to agree with Chunkster. There's not even a huge amount of traffic on the main forum, and the others hardly get used at all. It would be more useful if the search function could be improved (for example, to take you to the actual message with the result you get rather than the thread, which is a problem in massive threads), but I'm guessing that couldn't be done without replacing the forum software completely.

Well, somebody start a thread on the subject(s)and see if it lives or dies.

I agree with Tom. A food forum would be a very popular addition to Punaweb in my opinion. Maybe get rid of a few forums that have very few posts.

Once upon a time the building and farm and garden forums were very active with people actually helping each other with useful concrete information and advice instead of thread killing sniping, whining and trolling.
I do like the idea of a food forum though, it could have everything from recipes to restaurant reviews in one place. I don't think Rob is looking for anything that makes more work for him though and he hasn't had any helper moderators for a long time.
