The club, events and social scene in Scotland is growing a lot and that is great to see. I hope you are all having a great time and lots of fun. We asked a few years ago about where you would like to see Scottish Club and Events being posted, it was decided to use the Scotland Forum and not the other Forums 'Swingers Club Discussion' and 'Swinging Club/Event ads' Forums, that everyone else is using.
This however has started to create a bottleneck of posts with 'who is going' threads for almost every night the clubs/kink events are open. We also have 'Predrinks threads' for the same nights and on occasion 'Who went to the club/event' threads. This sometimes overloads the Scotland Forum and this may cause non club attending forum posters to miss other threads to participate. They are often duplicated, as some dates are posted well in advance and move off page 1.
With all this mind, Admin have asked us to start to utilise the other Forums for some of the threads being created. We will leave Scottish events in the Scotland Forum, but can we please ask that social organisers post their threads in the events in the Meet Requests and Parties Forum, and the 'who's going' threads for the Scottish Clubs to go into the 'club discussion section'.
As always, feedback is appreciated.

I don’t think I’ve looked at that other part of the forum to be honest. |

It’s a fair point. It’s pretty tedious seeing the same stuff over and over again (and I know I’ve used it for that too - when in Rome an’ all that.) |

I'm all for it
But it will leave the scottish forum pretty much dead |

As above this wins. The uk is such a vast place and you just need to look at the amount of traffic that goes through the English focused forums to see it compared to the Scottish one.  |

But if you go into the Spain forum, it's much the same or even worse! Are they being asked to move stuff to other forums? P.S. I only look at the Scotland and Spain pages!  |

Yep, agree. Fear the rest of UK events stuff would mean Scottish stuff lost/easy to miss. |

I come to the Scotland forum to see whats going on and whats coming up as well as just enjoying some Scottish banter.
leave the Scottish content in the Scottish forum. |

I’ve never understood the so-called problem with the Scotland Forum being “full” of posts about Club nights, pre-drinks, etc.; this is a swinging site, so the fact that the Scotland forum has posts about swinging in Scotland makes complete sense.
What exactly are they being cleared away for? More “what’s you favourite sandwich” and “who remembers space-hoppers”, etc. threads?
Or is it for more posts from desperate men - or quite possibly the police - asking for dogging locations? |

I see your point there and it’s valid in one way but to redress a bit. The “daft” posts encourage people to show a bit about their humour and personality as do the more serious ones folk might discuss. I’m sure there’s many folk been attracted to someone through forum discussion. Likewise it can be a good filter to the reverse.
Keeping the two separate wouldn’t be difficult to keep tabs on. |

Why not keep club events to the events section. Not just club owners. But other events in clubs for financial gain or club hosts.
Socials are different as these take many forms and are not run at a profit. These can be as small at half a dozen people for a house party to a large social event. Keep these in the scotland forum as they don't usually have the duplicate thread etc issues. |

So if this happens the less than ten clubs and social events organisers in Scotland would then be contending with the one hundred and fifty plus clubs and God knows how many events organisers in England and looking at the Scottish forum over the last few weeks there is just as many other subjects being discussed as the who's going to clubs discussions |

Couldn't disagree more. I understand based on _iew OP you wouldn't like your socials to be banished to mainland UK section and REALLY they shouldn't be as they will be completely lost, but what your proposing is our odd event get banished when our events are cheaper than your socials so absolutely not for money and socials are the easiest to run for profit when all you need meet vast majority time is a bar tab for free hire which is met at least half time with the token £5 drink included in your £15 reservation.
What most have said is absolutely way to go without any other option if they really want to revamp the Scottish Forums.
Either leave as is or create a Scottish Events Forum for clubs, private events and socials to be posted too.
Best option being the creation of the Scotland Events tab as then those sick of seeing these threads don't need to see them and those interested in them don't need wade through threads that don't interest above favourite crisps etc 
It's the easy and sensible answer for both sides. |

I’d prefer things to stay as is or a Scotland events and clubs tab but regarding your suggestion I’d say if it’s a no cost social that could stay but anything which incurs spending money to attend should be in the clubs and events area. I see a big difference between socials that you can just turn up and socialise - ie pre club meets and ones where I’m expected to pay money to attend - I think they’re more of a club/event - just I’m expected to keep my clothes on. |

I organise pre drinks socials and I doubt anyone would look in a separate forum for Scottish events.
Maybe we could get a ‘Scottish Events’ forum to cover everything. |

I have them sometimes. To be transparent I am probably bias as I arrange socials. We put them in events and pop a post here. We don't get the issue of duplicate posts or pre post event posts. Other social organisers don't seem to either.
It's mainly the ones hosting for events in clubs that seem to be the issue.
Maybe if the admins worked with these ones first... there are only a few of them so shouldn't be very difficult.
Monitor the diffence it makes and go from there. |
Reply privately (thread closed by moderator) | |
Perhaps the issue is that some of the events and clubs are being posted so far in advance. In some instances several months ahead and then regularly bumped to remain at the top of the postings |

Speaking as someone who helps run events, I wouldn't have any issues with using a separate Scottish events forum, in fact it would possibly be even better to have them all in one place and easier to find.
Echo others in saying they'd get lost on the standard UK wide forum.
Speaking as someone who also primarily uses fab to find other events rather than for chat, I don't have any issue with the posts in the current forum and equally wouldn't have any issue with a separate one. As long as they're easy enough to find. |

Ok, so as a Club / Events company we would absolutely love it if there was a section of the forum dedicated to Scottish clubs and events!!! It would answer so many problems!!!
It would be fab fantastic if th this site would get behind club owners and vent organisers to help enhance the scene.
Most Scottish people only go on the Scottish half of the forum and nowhere else. If clubs and promoters are forced to post in the uk wide group, then there will be 4/5 clubs in Scotland competing with the HUNDREDS of clubs south of Scotland
Scotland is very very small to the rest of the country and our events get lost, hence why we post them in the main Scottish forum to ensure visibility to our fellow Scottish friends!!
So many people have agreed with the fact that Scotland needs its own clubs/events page! And this would solve so many issues.
It would mean that ALL events be them social or club events are all in one place and all other forum topics would be in the general chat, which is how it is for the rest of the site
We absolutely understand where admin are coming from, however the admins are based in London and it would be extremely hard for them to understand the demographics of Scotland, and the fact that a country of 5 million people only have 4/5 clubs that they can attend. For that reason alone we ask that they give some thought to the idea of a clubs and events Scotland section of the site, it would really help!!! And from the general consensus of this thread it seems like everyone agrees xxx
We would be grateful if you could consider our opinions xx
Thank you kindly

The club events section is already overloaded without the addition of Scotland. Maybe time to have a few sections for club events in different areas? |

The scene in Scotland is still vastly smaller than in England I think the Scottish events will get lost amongst all the other events and in turn perhaps result in people missing out.
I personally don't see an issue with event organiser's using the Scottish forum for Scottish events. X |

Change for changes sake is not a good move unless identifiable benefits to the user can be shown
I find the Scotland Forum "cosy" and finding local events in a national forum would be a time consuming retrograde step and the event users and organisers would would suffer.
My only suggestion for improvement would be a box in the start of a thread with a simple choice of "General Chat" / "Events" before the "subject" so that events and general chat could be easily identified  |
Reply privately (thread closed by moderator) | |
Personally I don't use any other section of the forum posts, Scotlands posts would get eaten up considering the scale of the scene down England! If it isn't broken don't fix it!
And I agree with the above , of socials and events aren't posted here it'll be the same titd out Tuesday or face pic Friday posts and notuch else ! Leaving it pretty dead |
Reply privately (thread closed by moderator) | |
Personally don't think it needs changed, we would look at the Scottish forum first for Scottish events since the main events forum is crowded with posts for south of border.
Just a snap shot as of now, the Scottish forum front page just now has 3 posts at the bottom where the last post was 1 day ago.
The main events forum page, the bottom post on that page was 3 hours ago, so its already full. And it doesn't look like the Scottish forum is being "drowned" in events listings when you can still see posts that have not been updated in a day on the front page.
If it was to change then would rather see a Scotland only events page since we just dont compete numbers wise to the rest of UK. |

Just a snap shot as of now, the Scottish forum front page just now has 3 posts at the bottom where the last post was 1 day ago.
The main events forum page, the bottom post on that page was 3 hours ago, so its already full. And it doesn't look like the Scottish forum is being "drowned" in events listings when you can still see posts that have not been updated in a day on the front page.
If it was to change then would rather see a Scotland only events page since we just dont compete numbers wise to the rest of UK."
.
Totally agree !! |

I don't go to clubs but visit the Scotland forum... 80% of posts are about clubs so it is a shame for people like me. I know this may mean less posts.... But also may mean more people come to the forum and post who otherwise might not come due to it being of no interest to them. |

I think a few folk are missing that a lot are suggesting a separate Scottish clubs/socials etc forum and not lumping it in with a general one. This would be cumbersome I agree but having a Scottish clubs and keeping this one would be a good idea in my opinion. It surely isn’t that difficult to check two, lots use other forums like the lounge. |

I really don't see the problem of posting them in the Scottish forum , like everything else if a post doesn't interest you don't click or post on it , seems a simple solution as you can't please everyone all of the time .. also I think it's a case of if it's not broken don't fix it .. but would defo be interesting to know how they came up with the fact of folk like these threads or not , is it a case of many complaining or just a select few ? |

I have never complained about it... But I just find it strange that if someone put a post here about, say, camping or biking.... It would get moved to the camping or biking section and the person told not to do it again.... But there is a club section and a meet up section and socials section... Yet these subjects can be posted here and nothing said or done |

"what about adding a scotland socials and clubs section to the forums, that way the scottish threads dont get lost amongst the rest of the events"

The thing we have to face, is that this change has probably already been decided, we just either need to live with it, or by objecting, have it postponed again.
If Scottish Clubs/Socials get split off to another place, then it needs to be easy to find the specific threads.
Won't this system allow a Sub-Forum from the Scottish one? So that when looking, you go into Scotland Scottish Clubs/Socials ?

I prefer having the scotland forum thread as separate from UK as easier to track what is going on.
To me the clubs section is for the main clubs (esp in England) where’s there’s so many listings, I feel if Scottish posts were added to that, it would get lost.
Could a map option help in that you only click on the part of the country you’re interested in? |

"The club, events and social scene in Scotland is growing a lot and that is great to see. I hope you are all having a great time and lots of fun. We asked a few years ago about where you would like to see Scottish Club and Events being posted, it was decided to use the Scotland Forum and not the other Forums 'Swingers Club Discussion' and 'Swinging Club/Event ads' Forums, that everyone else is using.
This however has started to create a bottleneck of posts with 'who is going' threads for almost every night the clubs/kink events are open. We also have 'Predrinks threads' for the same nights and on occasion 'Who went to the club/event' threads. This sometimes overloads the Scotland Forum and this may cause non club attending forum posters to miss other threads to participate. They are often duplicated, as some dates are posted well in advance and move off page 1.
With all this mind, Admin have asked us to start to utilise the other Forums for some of the threads being created. We will leave Scottish events in the Scotland Forum, but can we please ask that social organisers post their threads in the events in the Meet Requests and Parties Forum, and the 'who's going' threads for the Scottish Clubs to go into the 'club discussion section'.
As always, feedback is appreciated.

An extra Scottish forum would be great where all club & event chat could go and be easily found and it would clear up more room on the SF for general chat as you can see how unindated the SF is becoming with Club, Events, Dogging meets . Lets embrace change |

Adding yet another elitist section only complicates matters further the north of England then want their own section.....the Midwest.....southeast....greater London....so on so fourth.
If its to do with advertisement of a business whether by the business or from its patrons should be in the clubs section and nowhere else imo. If it's wee Bob inviting folk out for a meet n greet at a pub that should be fine in the scottish forum section.
What was said at the first time this was proposed has come to pass it would be a hard road for the section to recover now due to lots of users no longer using the forums as they tired of 3 or 4 advertisements of this or that's buisneses next night along with all the ancillary posts.

Is there an outcome?
Controversially , all general chat could go into The Lounge or Swingers chat and the Scottish Forum for events.

There are many old timers like myself who have no interest in the club scene but love to contribute to the forums but 90odd percent of posts are club related leaving very little content for people like myself to contribute to .
I’d say a forum for Scottish clubs & socials would be the best solution . |

When there is a separate forum for club and events it is frustrating to find 95% of posts on the Scotland forum are about clubs and events. I don't think that 95% of those in Scotland want to attend clubs or events. |

Exactly this.
But still no response from admin about this subject after they had asked for input and plenty had been had. X |

I’m not sure of the percentage of people who use the Scotland forum but the vast majority don’t seem to use them. Probably only about 20% (and that’s being generous) use the forums. Many people go to the clubs and do want to know about clubs and social events. The Clubs section in comparison has every club in the UK a s the Scottish events get lost.
Conversely, general conversations are already held in the Lounge and other sections and forum posts are often copied in to the Scotland forum to keep it more local. It is the clubs ans socials that help to make connections and verifications for Fabbers.
Perhaps View could give us an update on what is happening. |

Many thanks for your feedback, it's very much appreciated.
There is going to be a trial of what was mentioned in the OP, so from today the Events/Social threads will remain in the Scottish Forum and 'Who's going' threads should be posted to Swinging Club Discussion forum to see if that works better for all.
We will obviously keep a close eye on how it's going and decide next steps.
Thanks all.

Can i request some clarification that any posts for pre-drinks before going to clubs will be found in Club Section as (who's going) subject?
Just so i know where to look and others will too.

I would guess pre-drinks thread can still be posted to Scotland Forums as its a social and not the actual club event.
Posts by non organisers for clubs, events and socials would go to Swingers Discussion. |

As explained, the events and socials connected to the events are not being moved into the event section so you won't find them in there |

Would it not be better to have a separate forum section for ‘Scottish clubs, events and socials’ that way the posts won’t get lost in amongst all the English ones and they wouldn’t clog up the actual Scotland discussion forum page? |

As mentioned, we will trial the above and see how it goes.
The Forum search option will be a friend to many,as searching by Club name brings up the ‘who’s going threads’
I will close this thread now.
Thanks again for all the feedback |
