ADVRider is more of a "motorcycles in general" community and they try to limit the number of "subcommunities" (the Wr250 thread is in the Thumpers subcommunity), but a WR250 specific forum would have the discussions you're talking about split up.
The real solution though would be for a "Reddit style forum" to exist, where people can create new subcommunities however they want but to have it work like a forum instead of having threaded discussions that don't get bumped.
It actually drives me a little nuts that the 500 EXC-F thread is under Thumpers and not under Orange Crush. I get that it's a Thumper, but it's also a KTM. Why have a subcommunity based on engine type when all of the other engine types are in manufacturer-specific subcommunities?
I honestly don't know why they decided to divide it this way and as you say it would make much more sense to split it by manufacturers and that's it, maybe it started with Thumpers and Others and as more and more manufacturers started making ADV motorcycles with other types of engines the "others" section became too crowded? 🤔
