Alright guys, we've all been talking about this off and on in many different boards and topics. I'm just going to make a topic to have it all, big and bad, in all of it's glory, HERE.
Here's my thinking: The site look choppy, in a sense. There's a few boards that are basically the same thing, but separated for God knows what reason. There are other boards that don't need to be boards at all, rather a topic, instead.
The reason for all of this is because since we're going on a field day trying to get new people to flock to the forums and get this place up and active again [by the way, right now, this is not an active forum, there's only a handful of members posting] we need to straighten some things up, so it's not as... new-user-unfriendly.
Here's some of my ideas to discuss and add to:
[+]Life, Teen Life, and Life Experiences boards need to be combined. All of those are basically the same, in essence. It's rather pointless to have those three separate boards ALONG WITH the Life board being visible, yet closed.
[+] Chillout Lounge sounds unprofessional. Let's think of a new name for it, y'all. How about General Interests, General Discussions, Open Discussion, Off Topic, or even The Lounge. "Chillout" is really what I'm saying needs to be removed.
[+] Perhaps combining the Sexuality and Philosophy boards into a common board for out-of-the-box thinkers. Let's brainstorm a name for it. I've got "Mature Talk" or even "Out of the Box" or "Inner Thoughts" maybe "Deep Discussion" or whatever.
[+] Moving the Hidden Room or the newly discussion Back Room to the first category and moving "Chillout Lounge" and "Life" to the category below.
[+] Regarding the back room: I DO NOT think there is ANY NEED WHATSOEVER for this room due to lack of active members and overall lack of members. It would just be a place to lower the new topics/posts in the public boards, in my opinion.
[+] Rename or fix capitalization of tHe fUn cEnTeR or whatever it is right now.
[+] Move the debate board to the second category.
[+] Rename the voting board.
These are all just really minor things you can do to make this site look a hell-of-a-lot better without really doing anything major. I honestly think these are GREAT ideas and I'm confident that other members will feel the same way.
That's all. Any and all input is welcomed AND encouraged.
