Yes. The number of forums could be greatly reduced, possibly upping activity by users AND creating a more friendly atmosphere. Everything Else should once again retake the glory it once was. As for organization, you ask...well...I say that instead of retarded smileys, each icon could say something like "TV" "MOVIES" "MUSIC" "LINK" "STUPID QUIZ THING" "DEBATE" or whatever else your heart desires, although one should say "WILLIAM" with a heart in the background. THIS SHALL BE A REVOLUTION.

I do think that music forum should remain.

Anyone agree with me? Please do.

i don't think there's enough now. there should at least be a creative arts forum. with less poetry and more pictures and drawings...paintings, etc.

wow, what a major cut-back !!!

I don't agree with you. Ok, william, you're here every day or whatever, but there are people who come less often and they will have to deal with a zillion topics with new replies in the everything else forum. Once, after having been off the internt for ten days, when I came back here there were so many new topics that I didn't pay attention to most of them.

I think this debate is the same debate as the "your subject sucks, I wish there wasn't such a subject, really" which is replied to by a "if you don't like it, don't read it". I dunno, the way it used to be was better cuz people who just read specific forums weren't bothered by topics they didn't care about.

My 2 eurocents...

With the limited traffic, most forums get no play. You know you can still see topics rhat aren't on page one. This isn't the big place it once was. I am sure you will still be able to keep track of stuff.

Also, I still think the message icons can be changed, then you can find the topics you love. (An icon that says art for art related stuff, etc.) And with that, you could know what the topic was going to be about...

I personaly don't mind will, I even support your idea personaly. I'm just trying to figure out what others could think. The icon stuff might allow you to make the difference between topics you like and those you don't like, but, still, when you see 20 topics of 10 posts each that have been posted the preceding week, you don't know what to pick.

I personaly don't mind posting a topic which isn't replied. It often happens. Si, I'd rather put it into a dark corner of the board.

there were about five poems, five pictures, and twenty or so paintings. about ten being yours.

i like it like this though. it caught me off guard at first, but i like it better now.

i like the new setup. there's a lot less to look at and i don't mind having several things in one forum. it makes it easier. but i guess i'm just lazy.

so what if i had lots of paintings? and i didn't have ten, i don't even have ten paintings... i had some drawings. i probably put about six things up there, that might be much. i know this because i haven't done anything in my art class all semester (well i did like two drawings, and i didn't even scan them). and it's better that way, blah to all poems...unless total shut down writes them.
