Forum Reorganization, feedback please =) Options

[superstitious]

I really would like to know how everyone likes the new organization.

What you like? Thoughts? Suggestions? Criticisms? Go for it!

[superficial]

It's definitely much more organized, but I'm having trouble getting to some places because I'm used to the old Forum format. It's great though, but it'll have to be some time to get used to it.

[Melie]

you know, maybe all of those like myspace of the month, motm topics and stuff like that should be all together in the vip lounge. sometimes i have a hard time finding them that i have to do a search. other than that, it's very organized. outstanding job

[freeflow]

VIP lounge is for random chat, not to mention only official members can get it in. Putting that stuff there it wouldn't really fit. Not sure if you know this but, there is this thread. Which allows for all the current contest threads to be linked. (:

[Melie]

yeah but that's for the year though. what about the month?

[iDecay]

It's pretty much way more organized that before. I like it. I just will take a while getting used to it. And I thought moving the forums from the left side to the center was hard.

[misoshiru]

omg too confusing. it's taking me forever to find anything.

Wow, this will take me a while to get used to. But this is cool.

[MissHygienic]

I love it. I don't use the front page a lot, only the, "View New Posts" but if I were to use it, I'd love it. I can make sense of the subforums now.

[lkajsfklajskds]

i like it =]

does news really go under interests?

[Smarmosaur]

NOWAI.

my lifestyles idea came through!


i really do like the reorganization, though.

[technics]

I like it. Very organized.

[NoSex]

This is professional. Absolutely fantastic. Although I'm not entirely sure what all the different forums in Entertainment are for (Hollywood)?

[superstitious]

^ Sweet. I'm glad you like it.

Entertainment -

General Entertainment is for the bastard topics, topics that are about celebrities but just don't have a specific home (ie Donald Trump or Paris Hilton).

Hollywood is simply for gossip. Think "E-News" but for cB. The two are pretty related though.

[Jeng]

I love it, so much more neater,and easy to navigate!

[brooklyneast05]

debate not being a sub forum is the best part of this imo

[superstitious]

News can actually fall under a couple categories. I think Lifestyles and Interests are possibilities. That's one forum that I think is a little tricky.

This is why I wanted this thread. =)

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, by the way (in case I forget to thank you guys later).

I really think News deserves more attention (?) kind of like Debate. I mean, the world is kind of important. But I do agree, it is tricky to place it somewhere

[superstitious]

It's possible for it to be its own forum (like Debate). Lets wait for some more feedback on it.

My gut reaction though is to do like what was done with Debate. News should get more traffic and more discussion and perhaps that is a good way to give it the exposure it deserves.

[missnh]

Actually, Debate and News can go hand-in-hand. Much of what is debated has to do with current events o_0 so that's something to consider.

[markmejia]

I guess it's more organized. But this is definitely gonna take some getting used to.

[Smarmosaur]

I think New should be on it's own, like Debate, IMO.

[MissHygienic]

News isn't. . .active enough to be its own section. Rarely do people seek out the News section when they come to CreateBlog.

[NoSex]

The point is that maybe it could become more active. It's not wholly inconceivable.

[MissHygienic]

I can't see it ever becoming more popular than Debate or any of the other subcategories. Just because it's out there does not guarantee activity or popularity.

Now they don't, but I'm partially responsible for the inception of that forum. For a good month, myself and a few other members, began posting news stories in The Lounge. I read the news section.

And what I am trying to say is that I just read the Community Center Reorganization thread backstage, and as of now, cutting more things up will make the forums more cluttered. Especially if the forum isn't even popular. Once it's gained its popularity, then I see reason for it to be its own section.

[karmakiller]

I deffinately need to get used to this, and all the stuff in the Entertainment section.

[Crash2]

Whoa. It'll take me a while to get used to it. Looks great though.

[icecreamisyummy]

wow i havent noticed. well i havent been on much lately. hmm let me go check

edit//

i like all of em except lounge.

[Crash2]

i like all of em except lounge.

Yeah, I was going to say this too. I think it's weird how VIP and the Sandbox are above everything.

[jaeman]

I agree, I really like how Debate is its own forum now.

[LoveToMySilas]

When I first came on here, I was literally like woah! Where is everything!? But I'm still adjusting. Nice setup, guys.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

the sandbox location totally throws me off.

I like the layout, it`ll take some definite getting used to. It just takes more clicks to get to where you want to go, imo.

[brooklyneast05]

same here. i rarely go to a certain forum besides debate

[shadowfax]

Love it. It's a change and a good change. It's not drastic enough to go OMGWTFICANTFINDANYTHINGCHANGEITBACK. The subforums are nicely categorized, though the Entertainment section? Err, too many subforums in that one. :P

[missnh]

Agreed

[pandora]

Let's get rid of Hollywood and merge it with General Entertainment. Does that sound better?

[missnh]

^ Yep.

[superstitious]

^^ agreed

[shadowfax]

I like the sound of that.

[pandora]

k, im on it.

edit://
done.

[miyashu]

the forums are easier to navigate now. it's nice and tidy-like

[fameONE]

It seems as though people are starting to get use to the changes.

Outstanding.

[HakunaMatata]

Oh, joy, joy, joy, the forums are re-organized! Me gusta mucho. Although, it is ind of funny thinking back to the couple of threads with like, cinco proposal each. :X

Especially loving the divisions of Entertainment. :D

Edit: Do Beauty issues still fall under Fashion, btw?

[libertie]

Just wanted to say that these changes have been a long time coming, and I think that the end result was the best possible solution. I love not having a million subforums under Interests.

YES! That and the Debate Forum being clearly visible is fantastic.

Concisely and accurately put. This was a great change. Thank you, everyone (especially Rebecca)!

[pandora]

[markmejia]

Where's the Sandbox ..

Found it.

[superstitious]

Hehe. Thanks, but Trish really did most (think 99.9% ;)) of the work on this (hence the hammer, I think). I know Brandon did a lot of moving of topics as well.

[NoSex]

Ah! Sorry, I didn't know! I didn't know! Thank you (especially), Trish!

Ha, well, either way, thanks to everyone! Brandon, neat-o.

Uhmm, P.S. VIP and Sandbox was much better in The Lounge, at least I think.

[libertie]

I didn't mind them in the Lounge, but a lot of people felt that it was too cluttered. I can see it from this perspective as well.

Also, it was confusing seeing that something new was posted in the Lounge, when really, it was posted in the Sandbox which moves much faster.

[missnh]

Yes, that was actually annoying as hell. :P I think it fits well in Entertainment. :]

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

It`s great but I really dislike how entertainment has so many subforums.


But, whatev.

[pandora]

yeah which is why we didnt really want to move the sandbox there at first.
