what do you think? i'm talking about the majority of subforum posts that fall under the catagories. that's what the list is base on.

the italic text are the ones that i'm not really sure.

.....ok, so you want bring entertainment under interests and add more subforums?

eh...idk, i like all the different topics organized in their own subforums.

i dont know. can you find a proper term for entertainment in interest.


There is no way that the admin will unite some subforum to the main forum.


there was a thread about dumping interest subforum to the main forum, it NEVER HAPPENED.

so whynot deal with the interest forum? somehow, it will make it easier for us to browse.

here's my suggestion for a forum layout, since it seems to be the in thing to do now.


- the community

-- the club
---- the lounge
---- introductions
---- sandbox
---- comedy corner

-- the B'n'N
---- books
---- movies and telly
---- music
---- art

-- the coffeshop
---- debate
---- school
---- technology
---- writing

-- the bar
---- food
---- fashion
---- sports
---- pictures

-- the lockerrooms
---- health
---- relationships
---- the boy's locker
---- the girl's locker




everything would be moved to whereever makes the most sense, which should be easy to tell.

i stuck pictures in the bar because it made it an even four. and it was the last one.

could probably do with a little revision, but that's the general shape.
(oh, and i'd be willing to help sort through entertainment if that were an issue)

mmmmmmmmmkay. your topic is better than mine.

however, admin will not do it. there was a thread discussing about this situation.

and eventually, this thread will be ... closed down.

they said that it was up for suggestion, but they wanted an entire layout, not just "bring back this forum" or something.

Eh, topics merged for simplicity. We can just use this thread to talk about reorganization in general.

Nothing wrong with putting ideas out there.. Forum reorganization was put on the back burner, so to speak, but that's not to say that we can't generate some ideas in the meantime.

Justin - I like the way you have health and relationships grouped with the locker rooms, and "the club" as well..

well, i think it'd be nice if this weren't back burnered...

discuss, people, discuss!

`cough.

I personally like how its organized.

I like Justin's. It makes it more clear what kind of topics are supposed to go where. Like, the bar would be a little more lax and casual than the coffeeshop and such.

I like Justin's idea, but "The Bar" was the only thing imo that seemed random and out of the ordinary.

well, i had left over forums and no where to stick them...

i tried dividing them up between the other 4 groups, but it would lead to weird groupings.

actually...

- the community

-- the club
---- the lounge
---- introductions
---- sandbox
---- comedy corner
---- pictures

-- the B'n'N
---- books
---- movies and telly
---- music
---- art
---- fashion

-- the coffeshop
---- debate
---- school
---- technology
---- writing
---- food

-- the lockerrooms
---- sports
---- health
---- relationships
---- the boy's locker
---- the girl's locker

i prefer the one with the bar though, becuase the other 4 group better that way...

Same here, I'm fine with how it is now.

i think we should make some room for science (astronomy, physics, biology, chemistry, spectroscopy, ect.)..
we could add it onto Technology and be like "Technology and the Sciences" or something like that.
but that's just my opinion.

i dont think moderator cares.

i could be wrong though.

I think we should keep it the way it is. It works for me.

I love the idea, I support you all the way. the club and coffeeshop sound awesome.

hmm, thats an interesting idea and quite a radical departure from how the forums are currently organized.

for now, were going to stay with how its organized now but please keep the suggestions coming. its interesting to see how people organize things. =)

anyone else have opinions?

(cough like how much you want this cought)

Justin's idea is good.

I'm not INCREDIBLY bothered either way, but i am starting to get fed up with the millioms of interests subforums, so let's try something new!

and jusun, has it occured to you to say WHY we're sticking with what we have, as opposed to reorganizing, so that people can actually benefit from what you say?

I think all of the forums, with the exception of Interests are organized well.

Lifestyle and Culture
-Art
-Fashion
-Food
-Health
-Travel?

World Awareness (totally dorky name, but couldn't think of anything)
-Debate
-News
-Sports
-Technology

Literature
-Books
-Writing

For Your Leisure
-Sandbox
-Humor
-Anime

The Forum titles are wretched, and it wouldn't get rid of the problem of having so many interest subforums.

^Actually, the way you organized it works well. But I just hate having subforums within subforums.

See, Rebecca's is fine, but i prefer Justin's just because it is a little more different, and the club, B'n'N would be a nice little change of pace...

I like other Justin's second organization; Rebecca's is lacking the entertainment forum, and overall, it seems less comprehensive than Justin's.
