FAQ for those who migrated from the vBulletin version of LFGSS

Is there a way to re-order the forums or does it happen automatically with traffic/other?

Forums are order by criteria:

1. Is it sticky?
   
2. How many comments/items does it have?
   
   

The first 10 or so forums on the front page are stickied so that new visitors get a really good idea of what "on-topic" looks like.

Everything after that isn't sticky.

Within the first 10 (or so), and the rest... it's all sorted by popularity (comment count and item count).

We have a feature fully ready, to allow people to create their own forums. When we open this up the number of forums will grow rapidly.

Examples of things I imagine will become forums:

1. Coffee Appreciation (all coffee threads moved into there)
   
2. Tuesday Night Ride Club (would allow events to be created within there)
   
3. Some of the Compass Beers (would allow social groups to exist around the pubs and easier tracking of events relating to the beers).
   
4. Polo teams (would allow small private forums for a polo team to discuss tactics and talk rubbish)
   
5. Football (it's inevitable).
   
   

Given that a lot of forums will be created, they will be auto-sorted by popularity.
