Forum Cleanup
« on: November 16, 2005, 06:55:21 AM »
Ok, with three new boards added to the forums (which I won't argue their usefulness) is there anyway that some of the other, less needed, boards could be done away with? Personally speaking, I think forums should try to conserve the number of boards they have if it makes sense and some of them don't feature enough activity to merit keeping them around. Of course others will disagree with that, but I'm just throwing my opinion out there.

For example, one forum that I would suggest "axing" would be the Technical Discussion, as there is very little activity going on in there and most topics that should have been placed in there often flourish in their appropriate system forum anyway.

I'd also suggest getting rid of the European Community Board, as it has been such a wasteland of inactivity, but might get some flak for that. Perhaps it could be changed to a catch all International forum to cover topics that don't deal with Nintendo games from the US or Australia? Just a thought.

As long as we're dicussing forums.  I'd like to suggest a new one.

I'd like to see a forum for over-weight African-American breast cancer survivors.  Over-weight African-American breast cancer survivors need a place to discuss Nintendo-related topics.

Well, I definitely agree about the European Community Board - it needs to go...

I don't see why the Australian community board is needed either. Surely a single thread in General would do the trick?

LOL, no we are not going back to square one.  If it's that bothersome to people though, I might hide it again.

Clean up complete.  Sorry, but the votes were against axing technical discussion.

You should stick up a note so any new Aussie members will know to apply for Aussie Board privileges.

huh, we are back to hiding parts for people who aren't invited?  So is that why there is a padlock on folder certain folders?
