CrazyEngineers Forum

Turn The Screws!

Open your eyes, look in front, look at the back, look at any angle and you will see something that is an engineer's creation.

Engineers have been making things possible that others could only imagine. It perfectly makes sense to have a common place for engineers from around the world where they can share ideas, innovate, & help each other. Engineers are eternal, with the younger at 62 & the youngest at 17, the CEan gang consists of working professionals, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, professors, geeks & nerds.

Cool Let's make it better!

Hi CEans!

I'm glad to announce that CE forums will undergo changes in next few days. I'd like to know your opinion about proposed changes.

1. Bring everything to front:
No more sub-forums. Everything will be visible on the front page of forum. What do you think about it? Are you happy with the current structure?

2. Add more sections:
Now that we are more in number, we'd like to have more sections. If you want the existing sections to be renamed/reorganized, drop in your ideas. Right now, we have only two trade-specific sections. How about adding sections related to 'Mechanical/Civil/Industrial/Chemical' engineering? We'll need volunteers to jumpstart these sections. Are we ready for it?

Also, our Test Hub is inactive for a long time. Let me know if you have ideas about making it active & useful.

3. Separate section for articles/latest news:
How about a section dedicated to articles by our fellow CEans & latest news?

4. Ranking System:
Have a look at ongoing discussions about ranking system -> (click) *here*

If I missed out on anything, do let me know. Every suggestion matters

-The Big K-

K, let me know if you need my help in restructuring the forums

I see that this thread is almost dead. Why aren't people posting here?

Any other volunteers ?

Hi Sristi

That is nice suggestion. Please do elaborate a little. How about introducing sections for Mechanical, Civil, Industrial Engineering? But the big question is 'Are we ready to have those sections?"

Do rush in your ideas. We need more suggestions before we finalize the structure.

So guys, rush in your comments & feedback.

correct. We need some more time before starting those sections. I'm surprized that no one really cares about what sections we should have here.

So far only sristi, rick & I have volunteered. Everyone else is sleeping


I don't know what's wrong here

Easy mate! I'm with you guys

I think we all need to have suggestions about what will work the best for our beloved CE forum.

We also need to work out the Ranking System. I'm sick of 'Senior' tag

Its a nice idea to revert to our original non-subforum structure, but I'm against complete removal of sub-forums. Let us first hear what people really want.

I agree with crook. Everyone needs to be posting on this thread. Afterall its not much of work

Thanks Guys!

The forum is experiencing low activity. Probably we dont' have better threads. We gotta be working on it asap.

I'm busy getting articles for our forum and meeting & convincing people to write for our CE forum ( for free )

Forum restructuring will happen soon. Let's work out a plan. Rush in your ideas.

Talking post it H-E-R-E!!

Guys, I've been getting emails from CEans regarding their ideas on restructuring of forums.

This is kinda strange :eek: !

We have a forum for discussions! Let your comments flood in here so that everyone can support / reject ( ) your ideas.

Let me thank all those who took time to email me. Looking forward to have your posts on forums!

Talking thanks

Thanks for the suggestions guyz

Thanks crazyboy and neha

I like the idea of making forums colorful. I'm not sure if we can have pictures though.

The top priority is to add sections and reorganize the existing sections. Most important- to get the right content !

Keep posting your ideas!

My suggestion is to move the 'Gizmo Geek' section to Technical Discussions and introduce the CE - Finance section right away without waiting for the contributors.

Also i think we need to do something about the quantitative section. Also there is an interesting thread started by crazyboy about 'M.B.A' . So as someone suggested, Rename the 'Test Hub' to "Higher Education".

I liked Rick's idea. The forum needs restructuring. We need to introduce more sections and pull out the Introductions section on the top.
