Forum Suggestions & User Assistance - Wheelbuilding sub-forum under Bicycle Mechanics

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

There seems to be plenty of wheelbuilding threads here to justify its own subforum. Because the term "wheelbuilding" isn't searchable (just generates a "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search:" error) it is difficult to find specific wheelbuilding info. Any thoughts about creating this new subforum to allow searches just on wheelbuilding topics?

Anybody ever have a chance to look into this and run it by the decision makers? Still seems HIGHLY useful.

There are threads about this in several other forums, and as mentioned above, it isn't easily searchable.

I'm considering it. It would be an embedded subforum, if we do it, by the way. I just want to consider the effect of "Overspecialization" fragmenting the forums too much. You can have too many subforums, after all, to the point it gets hard to navigate and damages the forums as a macro organization.

Add me to the list of individuals who believe such a forum would add value to the site.
