..provide a *really* good tutorial of Hornresponse (with captured images) on a variety of horns and you'll have an easier time of attracting participants.

FAR to many sub-furums for my taste.

hi Oliver

thanks for the input. I've deleted some subforums, with no use.
However, to organize the content in subsections is the main differential i want to have compared to other forums around.

I have to agree -it's like a shotgun at the moment, with a huge amount of overlap, or potential overlap. Could be very good, but needs simplifying & refining.

hello Scott

suggestions are welcome.

The most urgent change in my eyes is combining the various driver sub-forums. Dividing the speakers into commercial/DIY/vintage is OK.

Angelo, nice site, thanks for sharing it with us. I wish you every success with it.

I posted above before some of the extraneous sub-forums were removed. Much better now.

FWIW, I would suggest that the Basics & Design sections are combined. The history section might be used not so much as a forum, but as a generalised introduction to the subject.

As noted above, the rest is very much a matter of taste, but for example, looking at the current 'Basics' section, we see a myriad of single post threads, all essentially providing a link to a specific paper. To me, it would make sense if these were grouped into a single (sticky) thread, possibly arraged by author to aid fast navigation, with a brief description of what each is about. It would still be easy for newbies to navigate & browse, and I can't imagine many specific papers will generate especially lengthy discussions.

Just a thought anyway.

Some more suggestions:

The frontloaded horns / backloaded horns sub-forums should be removed. The threads currently in there fit better in other sub-forums.

If you like to subdivide the drivers, then compression/cone/coaxial should be OK, no need for additional "speakers and drivers" forums.

News & Events should be combined.

Theory (mainly links) and design (also real projects) are two things, but a sticky thread with links to theoretical papers should be OK.
