Time to subdivide more folders?

The discussion on subdividing into different folders for types of spiders gave me the thought that maybe, if feasible/adviseable, it might make sense to subdivide the Alfas for sale folders into regional folders. I guess there could be one main folder, in case someone wants to advertise worldwide, and regional folders (i.e. Europe, Western Canada, Eastern Canada, Southwest US, Northwest US, Australia/NZ, etc.).

The same might be done with the Events folder. Not that there's anything wrong with any of the folders right now, but there are several pages to each, and after a while an thread for a car or event drops down so far that most might miss it. Many bump these threads to keep them up, but some do fall thru the cracks.

It's just a suggestion, hence that's why it's in this section, duh. Anyway, I think the site is great, but that might make it easier for folks to find cars/events more quickly.

If I keep putting in my 2 cents worth, I'm gonna be a pauper soonest.

I noticed a trend where several suppliers re-organized their web sites into hierarchical mazes so that now, instead of using one or two clicks, you need about 15 clicks to find a part. I think it's stupid and hope AlfaBB members are smarter. All that's needed is little bit of discipline by mentioning the location in the ads.

The issue is not too many clicks but mutliple pages, where once a thread falls off the first page, it fades away. It was a suggestion, let's see what others think. I'm definitely not advocating a maze of subfolders that is impossible to navigate.
