This sub forum?

Is this purely to manipulate the Google (etc) search algorithm?

Just i'm failing to see the point of a single thread (well now two...) in a sub forum which would be in the main iPhone forum...

It's needed for a new device
Just wait to a week before launch ...

Where's my order ...
My FedEx driver is off sick ....
Oops I ordered 4 iPhones ...

And then there's usually a made up fault then everyone panics

It's the whole "iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPad 3" forum all over again. Pandering to the corporates.

Seeing as around it's release the iPhone 5 will likely have more posts than all the other iPhones, iPads and iPods put together the sub forum seems logical to me.

There are other sections trying out for a revamp, yet this gets done for absolutely no reason at all.

Why isn't there an iPad Mini forum? That's generating as much internet hype.

Plus we will also need an Apple TV set forum, different to the AppleTV forum as it's a different product being rumoured.

Enough people want the Mac Pro, Mini and iMac upgraded too. The list could go in forever!

If the Mac section encompasses all Macs then maybe we should just have an iOS section in comparison?

People with nothing better to do have to moan about something.

People who moan about others moaning definitely don't have anything better to do. ;-)

How about going to said TV Channel to watch your favourite show and they have randomly moved it somewhere else just for fun?

Easier said than done, when threads you were quite happily participating in get moved to this pointless subforum.

Why moan? Because as shocking as it sounds, some people do care about AVForums and have a genuine interest in the community it supports. We know this is Stuarts forum to do as Stuart wishes, but this feels like our community and without that, this forum would die. If that opinion seems wrong to you, bite me.

Personally I think it makes sense. Saves having to trawl through looking for new info when all the latest stuff is right here! Good move, and if it helps seo, so be it.

So you think there should be an iPad Mini forum, a separate forum for each new product Rumour, etc?

You want to expand on that? I prefer it the way it was but it's not exactly a big hassle to navigate to this section.

So would this forum be ONLY for iPhone 5 questions? iOS 6 related issues would be in the other area, and questions/issues that were thought to be iphone5 but instead turned out to be ios6 issues, would they be moved to the other forum too?

Additionally, what if the new iPhone (the 6th generation of iPhone) isn't called the iPhone 5?

Oh c'mon guys behave yourselves, there are far more important things in life to worry about than having to click on 1 extra time. Just consider it exercise!!

Which is pretty darn likely. My money is on it being called the "New iPhone" although there's a chance of it being the "iPhone 5, as Sponsored by its only subforum on AVF". ;-)

No mod has the power to create, edit or remove any forums.

It can't have been Stuart though, as another mod in another thread said he's too busy to make or even discuss changes to the forum and his computer is broken
