View Full Version : Forum biting more than it can chew?

Every now and then new forums are added and the larger threads are moved about the place. Well now it seems like there are so many other forums that less people post in other threads. Some forums could be added as sub forums into others. e.g Technical problems could be made a sub forum in Technology discussion. At the moment it's really becoming noticeable that there are too many forums for the amount of members online and that members are posting more in those spam threads that have nothing but numbers in.

I think something should be done about this. A change would certainly be for the better.

Post your views.

I see your point, that there are too many catagories and forums which could be made in the sub-forums etc.

I agree to some extent... Maybe there could be a few changes but it doesn't hurt...

As for the CT section just minimize it!

I agree that there are absolutely loads of forums on here, but it doesn't really bother me as I only really use 'new posts'. :)

why should i?
it's pointless, the project is clearly a fail and it's already 5 months behind schedule? supoosed to open in november, it's now march.
and the fact that it isn't even open is one hell of a good reason as to why the section shouldn't exist.
funny stuff :)

I think forums with less than 1000 posts in a year should be removed unless they're active a lot. Like world of warcraft. No point in that one, should be a sub or not there at all.

People clearly want to know about CT. I myself don't see any point in it but you have to think of the people who do want it...

Like I said minimize it if YOU dont like it.

Why should we when the catagory IS useless? May aswell remove it, which would benefit more people. It would be better off as a forum/sub-forum.

I never said I don't agree with making it a subforum...

Obviously, otherwise I would of said "I agree, it would be better off as a forum." I was chucking out a suggestion...

WOW section is good seeing as it will get more popular, plus its easier to just see threads about wow.

Look I don't like it myself...

All i'm saying is you have to think of other forum members, it's not hurting you or anything and I also agree it should be made into a subforum.

When did I say you disagreed :S I was merely quoting you saying that why should people minimize it when there is clearly little to no interest in ClubTropica and then threw in the suggestion that a sub-forum is a better idea, then you say you didn't disagree when you didn't even state it to begin with :S

Shrlurp

I'm lost...

I don't disagree with what you are saying :S.

I agree, there are way too many forums.

So am I lol :P

I disagreed with the comment you made about minimizing. You made it seem like I was disagreeing with myself that I didn't think it would be better as a sub-forum

Okay, anyway until managment decide if it stays as it is I would suggest minimizing it :)

Therefore it can no longer be seen.

I also agree with making it a subforum as clearly to many people it is irrelevant and unpopular.

i agree with the club tropica thing being put as a subforum.

theres only like 2 people that like it, and if u diss it they have a go at you saying how good it is, when clearly its crap

I agree, some of the forums could just be merged with another forum cause they are basically the same, or just made a sub-forum cause they are related in some way. What someone said about if the forum has under 1k posts after a set amount of time it should be removed is a good idea.

I think when they are adding new forums/sub forums they need to consider how many people on the forum are actually going to use it and whether it's worth it or not because it could just be a waste of time.

Yeah, they should be cut down on but I don't really mind all that much.

I just use new posts.
