Vintage/Antique Category Combined? « on: February 14, 2010, 08:22:31 PM » Author: lightman64
What happened to the Vintage/Antique Category in the From? It seems the two have been combined! Are all the posts still there?

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!

Yes, I've consolidated several boards.  The Vintage and Antique Lamps have been merged to create Vintage & Antique Lamps.  The same goes for the Vintage and Antique boards in the Lanterns/Fixtures category.  For Sale and For Trade have been merged to form For Sale or Trade.  I'm considering combining Auctions with this board as well.  All of the posts on the separate boards are now on the combined boards.  Nothing was deleted.

The activity on the Antique boards and the For Trade board was too low to justify having separate boards for these topics.  The boards operate best when there is a moderate level of activity.  If activity is too high, then posts are missed as they quickly drop to the bottom of the list.  If activity is too low, they make the site look inactive and members are going to be reluctant to post there.  I expect that any the increase in posts per board that may result from the consolidation will not be consequential.
