Glóin the Dark 1,223 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Most message-boards that I know have a forum (or several) devoted to the eponymous subject of the board (which, in most cases, gets less traffic than the general/off-topic forums on the same board). It seems pretty normal and reasonable to have that arrangement here, unless the separation is a major inconvenience for a significant proportion of users. As a "View New Content" user, I don't have a strong preference one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Once this is done, I suggest we vote to move non-Williams topics out of General Discussion, so we can then move the old Tolkien subform back to the now JW-only General Discussion.

Uni 306 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Unbelievable.No. Really. I cannot believe this.Once this is done, I suggest we vote to move non-Williams topics out of General Discussion, so we can then move the old Tolkien subform back to the now JW-only General Discussion.Exactly. Then, of course, the Star Trek subforum can be moved from "Other Topics" to the Goldsmith forum, displacing the extra Marvel threads--which can easily be placed in the Avatar sub-subforum, to be replaced by the excess Hobbit threads, having extended beyond the new Tolkien forum and threatening to overwhelm the Star Wars discussions.

Thor 7,521 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Now that LotR is gone, should the JW sub-forum merge with General discussion?Absolutely NOT!!There's like TONS of banter and verbal noise to wade through in this place (more than any forum I've ever been to), so please don't remove the only place I can get relevant information about John Williams -- the reason for coming here -- and the ability to discuss his life and work more or less on-topic.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Anyone ever peak at The Dark Knight forum on IMDb?

KK 3,307 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 We need a banter subforum, and restrict access to GD to only the serious members, for very serious discussion, because JWFan should be a very serious place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 There's several reasons for a sub forum1)One topic (annoying to a lot of members) starts taking over too much space (LotR)2)You want to focus discussion on a specific topic for a period of time (New JW scored movie)3)You don't want to dilute discussion too much about a topic (JW sub forum)Also, oone advantage of sub forums is that discussions don't disappear as fast out of view into the archives (I suck using the Search function) .That's why Other Topics should always be separate so it's always easy to find the "New TV" or "headphone" thread Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 1)One topic (annoying to a lot of members) starts taking over too much space (LotR) 2)You want to focus discussion on a specific topic for a period of time (indy 4 sub-forum) 3)You don't want to dilute discussion to much about a topic (JW sub forum) By these criteria, discussions about sub forums definitely belong in a subforum of their own.
