I think we can safely drop Food—there's very little activity in there as it is, much less than other forums we dropped.
digital.fragrance
Yeah, the Food forum is pretty pointless.. all it does is make me hungry. It's a great way to get your post count up though!
mzkandi
So, if we drop Food where would those topics go?

I do agree I dont really see the need for the Food forum any longer considering the amount of activity it has.
racoons > you
if curent events and health were dropped, ther ereally is no justification for retaining food.
wind&fire
okay how bout dropping those ones and making a misc. subforum?
racoons > you
... is that not just the lounge?
jeung
there was another thread about people wanting the health section back. perhaps we should re-instate the health forum due to popular demand.

--edit

health forum is back.

^^I liked the whole interactive deal =D
But what I don't like is the idea of merging the locker rooms. Like I can see having a general heading, The Lockers, and then having the guys and gals subforums, but personally I wouldn't feel too comfortable if there was a guy reading, "What should I use? Tampon or pad?" And "Omg...that was a freaking bloodbath and it stained my panties!" So I think that the locker rooms should just stay the same.

I thought that controversial would basically cover debate/current events, becase right now I'm trying my best not to overcroud the interests forum.

About the conversation forum, I think it should only have one post, and when it gets to page 20 or something have a new version. Just to like discuss things, anything - kinda like how people get to page 21 in that one game. Just show eachother hot pics of guys, talk about your latest crush, and blah blah blah. I know it might sound lame, but who knows? It MIGHT work!

//EDIT//

Okay, I just edited my forum organization. I took out the Sports in Entertainment and made it its own forum. And maybe we can have like different sports as subforums? For example, under Sports we can have baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, and misc. How about that?

And I took out the boys locker room.

sad.gif alas, one of my favorite forums to visit.
It doesn't get a lot of activity, but that doesn't mean it needs to be dropped.
I actually really like that forum.
Zatanna
Could Food thread discussions feasibly go into the Health forum?

I am completely against merging Current Events and Debate.

But there's really no point in having a Boys' Locker Room--there are least as many girls who post in there, if not more, than guys.

i think keeping those two the way they are isnt a bad idea. (girl's/boy's locker) they are both very active forums as of now and merging them sounds like it would either be the same as now or perhaps a little less active, but not better. imo.

I know, I love that forum! It doesn't get a lot of traffic, but it's nice to read all the recipes and find out about different kinds of foods and such.

it isnt so much a question of the boys' locker room being active, its just who is making up that activity. currently, the majority, or near majority, are girls, so what is the point of having a seperate froum?
IceCream4U
Well how about we just take out the boys locker room? And only have a girls? Just a suggestion.
Zatanna
^ Well that doesn't seem to fair though. They need to either be merged or kept separate and one should not be trashed and the other kept.

Merging the Locker Rooms seems like such a beast of burden though.
IceCream4U
Well yeah, that was just my compromise. Agh, I just want to keep the girls locker room. I have absolutely no problem with keeping up the guys too.

Seriously, merging the girls and boys locker rooms wouldn't be good.
Most of the members on CB are between the ages of 11-18.
They need a forum to go and ask questions and stuff.
Girls need their own space too, and I think it's only fair to let guys have their space as well.
Like I said, it'd be like combining the bathrooms at a mall.
You just don't do that.

It's more a problem with practicality. You can set aside a gender-specific forum in name only.

well totally... but as michael said, its in name only... there is nothing keeping iglrs and guys out of the alternate locker rooms, so why, practically speaking, is there a need for them?
IceCream4U
Because I have a feeling a lot of girls wouldn't feel comfortable if a guy was reading about their first period.

Well, I have a feeling their gonna merge........so I'll go ahead and change my "layout"
Teesa
Hmm, so just wondering..when are the subforums going to be reorganized? Or is the re-addition of the Health subforum it? Sorry, just wondering, I know you guys have a lot on your plate!
jeung
there have been a couple minor changes as of today.
forum games has been moved to the interests forum.
books and sports have been added as subforums of the interests forum.

this will probably be the bulk of forum reorganization for now.

My Cinderella.
It took me about 5 minutes to find where the forum games went, but I think it looks more organized now.

blink.gif ... soo many subforums in interests... my eyes hurt cry.gif ... ill get over it
gelionie
^ haha.

YAY new subforums!
Thank you Ed. :)
Zatanna
FYI for those who haven't seen it yet - Forum Games is now called "Sandbox" in the Interests Subforums.
Awesome Ed!
IceCream4U
^Where does the Sandbox come from?

Just because its fun? And the Sandbox was fun when we were wee little tinies?
wind&fire
i agree... sandbox blink.gif ??

'Sandbox' is a cute name! Better than 'Forum Games'. =]

Yeah, that was pretty rude. Hm, Sandbox sounds like a cool name. I should check it out..
Mickey
That was harsh, Rico.

Well, what about the Arcade? Since we don't have an arcade anymore, I think that suits the forum quite well.

Hm, that sounds like a good idea as well. Maybe we can make a poll...

Naming it acrade sounds a little misleading because it may actually lead people to believe they are going into the forum to play arcade games.

i thought sandbox was pretty creative. its basically to make the subforums look more uniform in the sense that theyre all one word names. if you have any good ideas, please be sure to make some suggestions. we're always open for ideas.

with regard to "who ever did this should be shot" i dont think that was necessary but i guess everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. i guess your only opposition was the name 'sandbox', what do you think about the organization of the forum?

hopefully its all not too difficult to get used to.
we decided not to make any major changes because with the launch of cB3 there have already been a lot of changes so we just made some small ones.

continue to give us feedback! its all appreciated.

^^My thoughts exactly. Because arcade denotes to coin-operated games, not fourm games.
wind&fire
couldnt you just leave it as "Forum Games"?? ... sandbox sounds rather childish

We were going with a reorginization, chaniging some fourm names, consolidating some of the subfourms within one fourm.
----------------

I don't think that "arcade" would work for the name for the subfourm of games.

Mickey
^Okay. Never mind.

^x2 They were trying to make the forums with just one word.
