Pruning the forums or keep them the same

[Kodiakclock]

Last poll was too specific, This is a general census of weather the forums need pruned or if they should remain exactly how they are


Initiative to prune down the bbs and remove forums to create a less cluttered and easier to navigate site.

[PolyhedronClock]

I don't feel that they need to be pruned, although a few of them could be organized better. The front page is starting to get a bit too big for my tastes, such as putting the battle arena and the artists lounge under the same category in a subforum to avoid clutter (just an example, something like this would need a bit of thought).

I like it, as is.

Think when you go shopping.. and there are aisles marked 'cat food' or 'produce.' You only need journey down the aisles that pertain to you.

If 'Gaming' and 'Sports' were just absorbed into 'Arts & Leisure'... well that would be MUCH harder to navigate, don't you think?

[AnkhClock]

No but I just use the new posts list anyway so whatever.

Also this thread was in the Gas Chamber when I posted in the other one.

Merge anime and sports

[Kodiakclock]

I say, youwhore, tv, movies,writing and music should all be combined.

flash and art should be combined. meaning flash help, showcase, competitions and events and pokemon battle area all in one

I'd like there to be a specific place where we could see newly submitted flash movies though. Once piney comes back and we get the portalgrapher done that wont be an issue but for now I'd like a showcase forum by itself.

Damn Ribs did pretty much everything I would have done with his post and more.

But what he said.  Yeah.

General Discussion (maybe get rid of debate again; it's really not that popular a forum and never has been: just have some rules for more structured discussion in general and let the nonsense commence in the spam forum)
- Welcome Lounge
- YouWhore
Flash (get rid of pokemon battle arena and make the things allowed in this forum a little more broad)
Showcase
Site Discussion (a forum with strict rules for discussion of bugs, policy, suggestions, etc.)
- Initiatives
Arts (including your writing, music, paintings, poo sculptures, greek slam poetry about how oppressive ribsclock is, puppetry of the penis, ass-crack-o-lanterns, butt trumpeting, jackson bollock, dadaist ballet, and collage.)
Gaming (video games or pen and paper or whatever)
TV and Cinema Leisure (tv,cinema,sports,cooking,anime would be merged with this) -
sports/cooking could stay merged in here. it's infrequent enough to not matter if it's all together

edited a bit. not that board catagories truly matter to me (I use 'New Posts') but this idea's fine enough

[AmberArachnidClock]

I like sockpuppet's edit because music discussion would fit in the leisure forum too.

Also if we pruned our forums, a lot of people (or at least I) would be less inclined to use the new posts button and threads could have more of a life span

EDIT: having less forums makes the site less intimidating to new folk, and we might actually be able to get a new member or two.
