There is already 4 separate requests on the current 1st page.

I count three on the first page, with one of them being posted today (after my original post). Symantics really.

Lets look at the month of June:

Request 1
Request 2
Request 3
Request 4
Request 5
Request 6
Request 7
Request 8

The above ONLY includes requests for flights that have not yet been operated. Requests for information from years gone by or general requests for rego information (as I consider acceptable in the "Spotting and Movements" forum in the boards current form) have been excluded.

On the whole, 8 posts (out of how many total posts?) in the month of June is really quite minimal.

A separate forum, for all rego requests, really is a smart solution that will surely please everyone.

Speaking of symantics...

What's the difference between creating a seperate 'sub forum' and a monthly 'sticky' thread?

One looks prettier than the other? Didn't realise we're participating in a beauty pagent..

A sub forum is easier for the moderation team to manage, rather than creating a new thread each month.

I think many of the members get annoyed just by the sight of the rego requests in the "Spotting and Movements" sub forum because some may be expecting a interesting movement and see just another rego request.
With that being said, I do not think a monthly sticky thread would be a good idea, I think the sub forum would allow for an section where the people can do their rego requests and leaves the " Spotting and Movements " section for the spotting and movements.
I do not recall if the "Trip Reports" sub forum was there before but I really like that idea and think that a similar idea for rego requests would benefit everyone.
