Lots of new forums?

Incognito · 12-13-2008, 10:43 PM

I've been thinking about making a big change to the board... and I am undecided... so I'll leave it up to you.

What I'm thinking is to create a forum for each subject. A sports forum, a politics forum, a gardening forum, a music forum, a TV and Movies forum, a news forum, a food & cooking forum and on and and on. Even subforums for some of them as well.

THIS section would be "Off Topic discussions" for all of those discussion topics that don't fit in any of the other sections.

This would create some work for the moderators though, we would need them to get busy moving topics from this section to the forums in which they would belong.

Maybe people would be more active if topics are segregated to their own forums. What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Is it nice and cozy just the way it is?

Vote as well as give the reason behind your vote.

To me it would not be an improvement if you seperat the forum. The simple reason for that is that i ain`t got the damn time to post in more than one place. I have a life and a job that keeps me busy

We have a life and a job as well Sucker, but we can't be banging every chick in the neighborhood like you...Slow down.

Dude

I'm not talking about new forum websites. I'm talking about new SECTIONS. You know what I mean? We have an introduction section, we're in the chat section, we have a hall of fame section. I'm just talking about adding new sections to EZ.

I understand what you mean but i do not believe that this will bring more new members and thats what you need.

My 'yay' vote is definitely with reservations.

There is every possibility, that a particular thread, or threads, naturally diverge from one initial subject into another, or more even, while still keeping the underlying topic.

So, if a particular 'off-topic' thread gravitates into a political discussion - what do you do ?
You cannot rely on forking, and it would be wrong to move the thread into the politics forum.
I have more than a sneaking feeling, that moving threads can kill them off.

Perhaps leaving this Adult Chat Forum as it is would be best. It is tried and tested and works.
Maybe try out a Sports Forum, Music Forum for starters. See how it goes. You can always add or delete as you see fit.

Disclaimer - If you start a sports forum, I doubt you would see me in there. I have very limited interest in that subject.

BleedingV · 12-14-2008, 10:47 AM

i voted "no", because i think the forum is perfect the way it is. i think if you added a shitload of forums it would be chaos because people would be posting the wrong shit in the wrong place... knaw mean?

Amadeus · 12-14-2008, 03:52 PM

Haven't we tried this before? The forums wound up getting deleted. But I voted yes cuz it's time for a change.

Not really. I just tried out a sports forum... and it wasn't very active... but maybe a bunch of new forums would trigger some activity... I don't know.

You can but try out some variations. No harm done if things don't pan out.

Newcomers may be tempted with diversity.

I cannot see that the current regulars would be stirred to more activity though. We can pretty much post what we like at present.

I like it the way it is...I`ve seen boards with lots of forums..to me;it seems cluttered and it`s alot for members to sift through.

I vote nay.

I can relate to that... and thanks for your input on the subject.

Just my opinion...I`ve always appreciated just "General Topic" forum.

Anything goes.

Stormcrow · 12-16-2008, 11:47 PM

Dude, if it ain't broke...

Now, if only I could follow my own advice.

This is what I'm saying...I have visited a few times at different times of the day and it's very quiet...I would amalgamate forums instead..not add any. It seems rather seperated already. Just saying.

Incognito · 12-17-2008, 10:56 PM

Hmmm... felinity, did you get a chance to vote? If not, you vote "Nay" right? Because right now its a tie. You're the tie breaker.

StoneTheCrow · 12-19-2008, 02:06 AM

I would have voted no had I been online during the poll.I'm a member of a few forums that have lots of different forum sections like that and I never go into a third of them,I also notice there aren't many posts in a lot of the same ones I don't go into,the owner is pretty much wasting his time with them.This site is pretty cool the way it is IMO.

SiCk_DiAbLo · 12-19-2008, 03:41 AM

5-5, guess it's a toss up!..Keep it like it is..Maybe some new colors or some shit!

The Explicit Adult Chat Forum

Lots of new forums?
