I agree it's been a great forum, but I think the new restructuring is counterproductive. Activity volume is currently too small to support seven Bolt sub-forums. Users will get tired of navigating through multiple sub-forums to read a handful of posts, and so activity will decline. Better to go back to one comprehensive Bolt forum until volume increases.
I presume it's all about the advertising.I saw this and was like , WTF?
Yeah, i see what you mean but in about a week or so, the first bolts will start landing into customers hands and the forums will most likely be more active. The moderators are probably trying to be in front of the initial release so it will be less work on them later down the road . These guys aren't paid to do this, so if they have some free time this holiday to do it, then so be it. It had to happen sooner or later. Ideally I would have also prefered to wait a little longer before it was broken up but who am I to criticize especially since I'm not paying for this forum or a moderator who gives up their free time to organize the site and provide great insight into these vehicles. Just my 2 cents.
Point taken, but in our experience most users take advantage of the "What's New" button, the search engine, and emailed thread notifications, as opposed to randomly surfing forums.
Thank you for this forum! Is there an easy way to just see what is new in the various bolt forums? (I'm not a good Volt candidate but I am very interested in the Bolt)
It's no different than seeing what's new in any of the forums, Volt, Spark EV, ELR, etc. You can click the Form link at the top of this page, under the Volt logo/image, then select the Bolt sub-forum. Or bookmark http://gm-volt.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?561-Chevrolet-Bolt-EV-Owners-Forums You'll see the neest posts in the various Bolt sections listed.
You can also use Advanced Search to search for Bolt, with results sorted by Date descending and save the search settings.
