| |  Off Topic Sub Forums? Post Your Ideas
Hey Guys,
Was contemplating we should maybe try and better organize the Off Topic Forums by getting a bunch of sub-categories in here. Will take a ton of work to re-categorize existing threads into the new subforums once made, but all in all would probably make it a lot better for browsing through here.
Some initial thoughts are:
- Sports
- Politics
- Celebrity Talk/Gossip
- Gaming
- Member Banter
- Automobiles
Let us know if it's a good idea, and if so, list your thoughts/ideas on this thread. Thanks!!

Yeah sounds like a good plan. That way we can discuss other things here. You might also want to add a music section.

actually, personally, i like it the way it is.. its easy to find the interesting threads, all in one spot, and that way the not so interesting threads just kinda die.. the way it is now keeps the first page FULL of the really good threads.. i would just think that if it was split up into sub-forums it would be harder to navigate to find all of your favorite threads in OT. just my opinion.. thanks!

Subscribe to the thread and you won't have to search for it.
I think this is a great idea. The OT forum could use a little organization.

I have mixed feelings about this idea. A little organization would be nice but I do like the current setup.

While I respectfully admire the idea, I think it's better to keep the Off-Topic the way it is. Sub-categories begin to get too confusing.
Plus you'll have people posting things where they shouldn't be posted.
I honestly think it's fine the way it is.

Nice in concept, but call me old school (everyone else does), I like things just the way they are. There's already enough confusion with the social crossing over with the general off-topic.

Subforums might be good if administrators are aware of a certain demographic that does not post!
For example, if teens are uncomfortable then a subforum might be beneficial to them.
However, catagorising people is social engineering and not unlike catagorising products. It is equated with divide and conquer and it might cause animosity between newly created "member types".

I like it the way it is. I find lots of interesting stuff this way, that I probably wouldn't search for otherwise.

I like Off-Topic just the way it is, the idea sounds great, but I am very content with how it is all jumbled together!

I wouldn't mind a member banter forum and maybe a political forum. Rousing debates do pop up from time to time, haha.

Terrible idea.
