I guess I hate the clutter...Pelletheads became that way and was to hard to maneuver around. But just seeing your post tells me I am off base, so will just leave it!
Do you mean just having a separate section for each manufacturer? I don't always use the "new posts" button, and mainly look at the general section. If I'm bored, I'll dig a little deeper in the other sections. I personally would have liked to have a general section, pit talk (all inclusive but specific pit related), and then however you wanted the recipe type stuff done.
I know some people like it origanized for their brand, but it fragments it too much for me. Can't please everyone though so you just pick a path, and roll with it.
