Thought i'd throw out my opinion on the equipment testing. I feel that the testers posts get buried to quickly in the equipment forum and are hard to dig up later. A seperate forum or sticky thread (there's one for "pondering") would seperate the testers posts so they could be easier read and researched. Perhaps even restrict that area for only those who are testing for THP. It was the testing of equipment that lead me to THP and I joined shortly after because I saw value in the site. Just my $.02.
I don't think a sticky would work as there would be a lot of sticky topics. A separate forum would however work very well in my opinion
A separate forum would not get viewed by guests. How many people view the Flatsticks forum comapred to Golf clubs? How about Golf Style? Even Club Building? There is a reason that testing threads are where they are and also get the views they do.
If we have a testing thread that has 7-10 testers of a piece of golf equipment, in my opinion that thread should not fall much past the first page of equipment. If it does, I very much wonder why. 8 different people testing a product at different times and answering questions or discussing a product at different times. If it falls that far back, it wont stay that far back for long (or shouldnt).
An equipment company is not going to donate thousands of dollars in equipment to THP only to have a thread buried in a sub forum for only forum members to find.
