I like the idea about the entertainment forum. To be honest, entertainment forum and its sub forums are my favorite on vizzed. I'd be great to have more categories about it, like anime etc.
*thumbs up*

alright well once we decide on the forum structure I'll look into adding more locals and and probably restructure who mods what.... since we'll have a lot more choices of things to moderate.

I'm excited about this. I always enjoy a forum change. Especially when it means adding forums.

I think adding a couple more forums seems like a pretty good idea, but you guys might want to be aware that it may not work out as well as you think in terms of activity. Adding forums is good, but only if their subjects completely different from the rest. If you split up a forum giving each sub-forum it's own piece of land there may not be as much activity as when the pieces were combine. My Science forum is a very good example of this. When I put that idea out I knew having just a science forum or just a health forum wouldn't bring much activity and I'm very sure David or Geeo would have ended up shutting it down. But with all 3 subjects in one forum activity is brought in by people having an interest in each.

And another thing to note is that a General forum is the most popular place at any message board, so it might be best to leave certain things in ours here at Vizzed as taking a topic away to give it its own forum also wouldn't bring much activity.

You guys are right, though, Vizzed is definitely growing and new forums are a good idea. I'll try to come up with a couple ideas and post them here.

I agree with what you've said and I don't think any of the current new forum ideas are going to actually take away from anything else....

instead I see most of these allowing more activity in more places by keeping more threads at the "top" of the respective forums. There are some threads that are 2 weeks old that are pushed off the page because of how many new threads that get made. At least this way we can keep more thread near the top which means more access to recently made threads. It may not double activity but hopefully it will encourage more activity.

geeogree : That's the problem with having over populated forums, the good threads don't stop on "top" so they get lost and may never get posted in again.  Some forums are so active that a thread a week old can get pushed off the first page.  So overall I definitely think breaking a few very active forums down into multiple forums will definitely increase posting activity (because not a lot of people go to view the additional pages of a forum so if it's not on the first page, the thread might be gone for good).

exactly.... and the entertainment forum has needed that for a while. I don't know how many WWE threads and sports threads and I hate Justin Beiber threads that have been made over the last year but many of them get 10 posts and then disappear.

This won't prevent that from happening but it will slow it down which is for the best.

I personally would rather have more slow forums than fewer active ones. At least in the slow forums you can find the thread you're looking for easier.

I think this would be great for the site
The community is getting bigger each day
and new forums would be great for activity.

geeogree : It'll happen eventually, it's sorta a big job that I currently don't have time for.   Maybe create and throw another RGR forum that is needed into the Vizzed Ville south just to even things up for now.

alright. I wasn't sure how soon you had planned to get this done. I wasn't sure if it wasn't just about not having a plan for which forums to add yet.

And cause I wanted to remind you about this

geeogree : I wanted to give RGR game specific threads their own forum as well since the "Games" sub forum as 8 pages (at 50 threads per a page).  So I made a forum for it for now as a placeholder until I get around to making RGR games point to that forum.  I also moved the Game Design forum to the VV South to even things out until I get the time to do a forum restructure.

sounds good to me. As long as it's even I think waiting a bit for the full restructure won't be as big of a deal.

I like this idea. It's not necessary, but it will entice more people to make more threads in the long run, and more threads means more places to post!

Yes because it's getting boring posting because you're posting in the same threads each day, that's why I stopped posting for awhile.
