I'm thinking of doing a 30-day Dyson challenge. Anybody else interested?

(Image removed from quote.)



We could call it the "December Dyson Challenge".   

But I think it's time to tighten up the challenge rules. Just one Dyson vacuum. No brooms, no dust brushes, no dust cloths. Above all, NO SWIFFERS!

30 days with just a Dyson vacuum cleaner (your model of choice).

Who's in?   :pok:  :pok:  :pok:


That thing could easily be converted to a class III phaser rifle.......... :woohoo:

That’s the spirit Butch!

But, but we need a Vacuum Cleaner Forum!

What to do?  :ahhh

The whole vacuum question is terribly tricky. Canister? Or Upright? 

We most definitely need a "Household Suction Cleaner" forum.

And, damn me, we haven't got a drip coffee maker sub-forum either. Sure, not awl MTo members drink coffee, but this is, IMHO, a critical subject. Let's add a Coffee Maker forum!!!   :viking:

My French isn't good enough (yet) to keep up with you. 

Oh, Central Vac......you lucky, lucky basterd. (That's French, right?)


Sure, some of us would like central Vac, but the reality is that the Sears Upright is the Swiss Army Knife of vacuum cleaners:



Don't taunt us with your custom cleaning solutions. Let's talk about the Black & Decker of suction cleaning.  :pok:

Hmm, I'm not too sure the Dyson would last the whole 30 days  :think:

Maybe the repair man can post pics for the days it's in the shop  :dunno:


 :whistle:  ;)  :D


Or we could just wait and do miele may  :tu:

If only we had a subforum to discuss this in  :oops:

I suggest we order the forums by post counts. So the most popular forums will need to be scrolled less, and the least popular forums will need to scroll a bit more. Makes total sense.

I will avoid the new sub forums out of protest movement.

Seriously.

Like Nix is steering into, we can not just start subforums about anything to draw in more people.

This place started as a multitool forum and knives in general.

Hand tools came along too....
Even more speSmurfpillsed hand tools, dremels, other power tools, woodworking, photography etc etc...

At this rate we'll lose our true identity.
Quality over quantity.

Members are interested in woodworking? No problem!
Thermometers? Sure!
But there are other forums for that.
Just my 2c...

I honestly don't like this.

I will avoid the new sub forums out of protest movement.

Seriously.

Like Nix is steering into, we can not just start subforums about anything to draw in more people.

This place started as a multitool forum and knives in general.

Hand tools came along too....
Even more speSmurfpillsed hand tools, dremels, other power tools, woodworking, photography etc etc...

At this rate we'll lose our true identity.
Quality over quantity.

Members are interested in woodworking? No problem!
Thermometers? Sure!
But there are other forums for that.
Just my 2c...

I honestly don't like this.

Well put Mechy!

So, don't get me wrong.
Tools like Dremels will inevitably show up here since they can be used to refurbish/build knives.

A Vise? I guess so.
A file? Sure!

But it depends on context.
Stuff about "what cordless drill should I get for building an outhouse" should be avoided.

Furthermore, the order of subforums should be (according to myself) somewhere like:

Leatherman tools or SAKs first and second. Order doesn't matter.

SOG and Gerber third and fourth. Order doesn't matter

Followed by folders like Spyderco, Buck, Opinel, ...

Followed by fixies like Mora, ESEE etc

Flaslights, compasses, binoculars and monoculars, firesteels and -starters are welcome too since they are still in the outdoors/adventure theme and alot of people combine these items while out and about with the aforemended stuff.

Again, all just MY view on the topic.

Here we have to agree to disagree.

I’m kind of bored of multitools. I have no plans to buy anymore, and I keep putting off doing some SAK mods because I don’t really want to.

If it wasn’t for the off topic larking about and talk about pens, calculators, shoes etc, it’s quite probable that I might have left. Never mind that you guys wouldn’t miss me.  :D
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

So Pabs, do you think adding a Power Tools forum will help ensure the same quality forum we've previously enjoyed?

Would a Dishwashers forum make it even better?

How will you encourage members to make donations if members can relate to only 5-10% of the forum?  Could a member's thinking shift to "well, I'm only marginally involved in this forum, so I don't know that I want to spend money supporting a bunch of guys talking about stuff I don't really relate to?"  (HINT: the answer is 'Yes'. I know this for a fact.  ;))  Has adding a Power Tools forum made it more likely you will contribute financial support to the forum on a regular basis?

As the general noise level increases while the focus decreases, do you think you will spend more time on the forum?  Or might you become frustrated and/or bored and then wander off? 

Let's hope there are a lot of guys out there who want to chat about their DeWalt power drivers out there. Guys with a sense of humor about chuck sizes, horse powers, and Forstner bits. Now then, the question, how do you woo them away from the existing Tools in Action and other forums?   :think:

I suggest we order the forums by post counts. So the most popular forums will need to be scrolled less, and the least popular forums will need to scroll a bit more. Makes total sense.

Unless you want to encourage more traffic in the less popular forums .

It does not work like that. Sure you can add extra features, but your main bread and butter should come first. This is MultiTool.org. The first things you get served should be about multitools.
In a supermarket, they mix up stuff regularly so you may buy other things while looking for what you came for. But if you do that online where visitors leave in a split second if they do not spot what they came for, you are making a mistake. You could suggest lesser visited items in the more visited areas, so some traffic may as well go there, but even that is frowned upon on, and similar items would be a better choice.

Like Mechy, the order doesn’t matter to me...the SAKnight sub-forum should be at the top...the rest of the less attractive sub-forums, to me, should be lower on the totem pole! I came here for the SAKs and I will leave because of the SAKs or lack there of! When was the last Vacuum Sealer’s GAW...see you got my point!
