I would like to earnestly thank the makers of GTPlanet.net for the fabulous message board and service they provide! I think it is a fantastic resource of information and an excellent way to meet fellow enthusiasts of the Gran Turismo series.
However elated I am about the board I am often puzzled by the aggressive and uncalled for remarks of the members when someone tries to make a new post. Most people are very giving and answer any and all questions, others take the opportunity to yell at the person for not using the sacred search button.
I think there are some deficiencies that cause a lot of these problems.
1) Some threads have become so large that they are unmanageable and intimidating even with the search button. Mission hall is *** and DFP problems just to name a couple.
2) For new member's getting used to the board the layout takes a little getting used to.
My suggestion is this - add a few sub-forums to help filter some of the more serious threads. Here are a couple examples
1) DFP sub-forum - This would be entirely about using and abusing the DFP. Instead of having 2 or 3 threads that are 50 pages long let's have a forum just for the subject.
2) Mission Hall sub-forum - Yes I know many people have finished all the missions and are sick of hearing "How do I complete mission ...." "Where are the video's to mission 34??"
But mission hall is a challenging area for those of us that dont have 5 hours a week to play this game. And sometimes we just want to ask - Hey guys what are your thoughts?
I think the idea of a message board is to get feedback from fellow enthusiasts. Now if I am a week behind most other people why does that mean my rights to live feedback are denied?
So in conclusion - would it be too difficult to add a couple more forums and maybe stickie the best stuff at the top of the forums? And if you dont want to answer a question - just ignore it instead of jumping all over the guy who just started GT4 and has a perfectly legitimate question.
Cheers all.

). So they will do what they want until they get some resistance. Then they might actually start reading/searching.
