Humanitarian Crisis in Pakistan, Pakistani's identity crisis and its impact on pakistan's world view, PA's New Offensive, Pakistan's internal security , Pakistan's Descent into Chaos: A Compendium of Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan and finally the The official Zaid Hamid Thread, how many threads on Pakistan are going to be started on Pakistan apart from the official Pakistan News and Discussion thread !

Then there's a thread on Varun Gandhi, one on Advani, Next choice for govt. of India, Lok Sabha elections 09, stick to one Pol.Discussion thread, the primary motive of the forum is Defence discussion, not political.

And these are just the list from currently active page 1 threads.

Yes, we need two new threads:
1)Pakistan news and discussions.
2)Taliban's Growth news and discussions

Humanitarian Crisis in Pakistan, Pakistan's internal security , Pakistan's Descent into Chaos: A Compendium of Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan can be discussed in the Pakistan thread.

PA's New Offensive and other such stuff can be discussed in the Taliban thread.

But I think we need a separate thread for Pakistan's identity crisis and the one and only Zaid Zaman Hamid. Mixing them with other mundane issues would be injustice and CRUEL.

Zaid Hamid is a useless thread with no bearing on India's defence. Pakistan's identity crisis is none of our primary concerns, it can be at best clubbed in with PA's New Offensive and Taliban discussion as it is directly related to the two. Our focus is on Indian Defence and the bearing our neighbours might have on this, not on judging their psyche etc., that should be discussed only insofar as it has bearing on their military build-up.

Zaid Zaman Hamid's thread gives a great comic relief besides insights into the thinking of enemy. The Pakistan's identity crisis explains the thinking and possibly future manifestations. Both are important for understanding the Pakistan as a country, its previous policies and effects on its own people. They explain in what direction the Pakistanis want their country to travel. To me, it has great bearing on our nation. Military build-up first starts in mind in the form of ambitions, then it is translated into actual policies. So, understanding the thinking is the key in IMVHO.

Very well, then what do you want to be discussed in the Pakistan news and discussion thread. :)

^^^ Truely , Johnee I agree with you on that , Zaid Hamid thread not only gives us the comic relief after whole day's hard work but also gives us an insight of psyche of common people of our enemy nation which born after hating us and lives on only opposing us on every aspect.

There is plenty of news emanating from Pakistan that can be discussed in Pakistan thread like Indus Water Treaty, Aids and string attached...etc. The same news will be discussed with a different perspective in Pakistan's identity crisis thread and also other historical facts. Taliban's achievements/deals/fatwas can be discussed in Taliban thread.

to shift the focus away from pakistan oriented thread the forum has introduced new sub-sections on the world defence forum category war on terror, middle east,nato and west, with these we hope to shift some focus away from pakistan to more matters concering the world of defence, we would focus one hand on india another focus is on the world defence thats our aim pakistan discussions must be limited to discussions on south asia as a general also all the taliban news must be discussed under the wot section ...

hope the members like the new sections

Has any more thought gone into the ranking system? It is the worst I have ever seen on any forum. It needs immediate attention.
Newby/ lurkers who don't even post start as officers.

Just too many boards IMO...............the polls&debate board perhaps could be moved under general talk.there could be a board dedicated to domestic affairs and not clubbed with international affairs. The strategy and tactics board seems to be waste as the topics are generally of the international and domestic in nature,it perhaps could be done away with.

Boards shouldn't be redundant...

Just my 'do Anna' !

This is more of a question than a feedback. What does the + sign after certain members' names mean?

Mods, isn't it possible to increase the grid of Latest Post appearance, so that we can have a quick recap of all the latest comments. All I am saying is that, it should be quite similar to what we had on IDF.
zoom your suggestion is implemented with the introduction of new dfi permanent skin right at the bottom you can get a link for todays posts where you will get the recap of all the latest posts in a organized way

The exact criteria ll be a bit vague and subject to discretion of DFI staff so as to not interrupt the normal flow of the forum in lieu of members gunning for the Award but amount of time spent on the forum activity, quality of posts including effort made, relevancy, purposefullness, maintaing basic decorum and following rules etc. It ll be open only to non-staff and non star members to be fair.
