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:
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? |

The reason (besides the fact that I don't like having a ton of subforums) that I left Videos standing alone and didn't put it in Entertainment is because people post videos that are serious, too, not just funny or entertaining. I think if people were to post serious videos relating to News and Debate that it wouldn't quite fit right as Entertainment
 Relationships could go in Lifestyle, but that would make six subforums. I guess it'd be even with Interests then. I dunno why subforums bother me, lol. Academia should be our intellectual forum. Hmm, I need a thesaurus :P |

It almost seems like people can post a youtube link and bail, since they're posting in the "Video Forum." I'd much rather see some thought put into posting, along with the video than just flyby post-a-link posting. I feel the same way about News. Merely quoting an article and citing a link only shows that you have an active RSS-type (or Google Reader) mechanism. ;) |
