Forum Reorganization Options

[karmakiller]

I've been hearing some complaints about the forums, mainly about the Interests and Lifestyle forums. I know that a long time ago there was an attempt to reorganize the forums and then Jusun came back and switched them again (or something like that, hah). I've been trying to think of ways to reorganize the community forums. There's something about Academia that just drives people nuts.

I was thinking maybe something like this:

• Introductions
• The Lounge
  • VIP Lounge
• Pictures
• Entertainment
  • Music
  • Movies/TV
  • Books
  • Video Games (if there are enough people in favor)
  • Humor
• Relationships
• Lifestyle
  • Fashion
  • Food
  • Health
  • Boys Locker
  • Girls Locker
    
• Interests
  • Anime
  • Forum Games
  • Art
  • Sports
  • Technology
  • Videos
• Academia
  • News
  • School
  • Writing
• Debate

The forums in italics probably aren't getting moved around, but I included them to show you what the layout would look like.

Yeah, see how weird it is. I'm not a big fan of a lot of subforums.

So how do you guys think the forums in the community center should be organized?

^ :( I love anime, but in all honesty, I think the forum should be removed with topics going into either Movies/TV or Books (if the topic is manga based).

I still hate "Academia." It irritates me that News and Books, things that many people enjoy outside of school is lumped into that category. It is NO different than Art. Not even a little different than Art. So if Art can jump, the other two should as well.

I suggest renaming "Academia" to something else, like "Humanities" or something like that. I don't really like "Humanities" either but I am having a difficult time coming up with something different. Maybe after more coffee or something.

I also think that Relationships should move into "Lifestyles." I just think that things would be more congruent that way.

Also, I still don't think that "Video Games" is a good idea. I'm pretty sure that it will end up like anime (to a lesser degree) and the not so booming "Videos." While I'm on the subject of "Videos", shouldn't that be in Entertainment, rather than Interests?

edit: Brandon no fair! You edited your post to include the Relationships thing. :p
