Reduce the number of boards.

Postby Hoj » Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:29 pm

There's currently more boards than users. I think there's some that we don't need right now; the General forum should cover a lot of the topics, like computer games.

Just a thought.

The thing is with forum titles is people don't read the sub forums or even the main forum titles as we've found in the past. We've had a few posts in Ask Us Anything about VB even though they have registered.

The number of forums doesn't seem to bad for the number of areas we cover, we could remove Adobe Flash as there are no posts in there.
I've been programming with VB for 17 years. Started with VB4 16bit Pro, VB5 Pro, VB6 Pro/Enterprise and now VB3 Pro. But I'm no expert, I'm still learning.

I agree Keith. The forum names could do with being perhaps more obvious.

Any topics about Flash animation could probably fit in with the Graphics section, so that, as much as I love it, should go.

To be honest, you could say the same about the music section. As much as I love that little corner of m2k, only about members ever visit and it is a bit depressing. I bet that if people posted their songs in general instead, more people would comment.

Exactly, Alex. Once/if the forum picks up again, we can expand.

Agreed. Making dividers for everything is great for when there is so much diversity within the posts, that splitting them up causes better organization.
atm, I find it a bit equivalent of spreading too thin, you know?

Yes it is certainly spreading things too thin... it's harder work to visit a load of sub-forums as well, when you can have everything in the same place. At least while we're not getting 100s of posts a day anyways.

Yeah, I mean once Adi has less on his plate, these little things will make a huge difference I feel.
