Condense the forums?

Shotgun · 06-30-2009, 09:25 PM

If you ever looked at the forum page, there are literally dozens and dozens of subforums. Most of which, people dont really use that much. Perhaps we could condense the forum a little, or possible get rid of some subforums. Its just an idea...

Thanks for the suggestion. We usually don't put new forums unless there's a really good reason for it, and some other is bursting at the seams. With that said, we did do some rearranging recently and split a few, so they do seem less traversed now. However, its not proportionate with the amount of time the other forums existed, so its not comparing apples with apples.
If you have a particular exact suggestion please let me know what you think is really out of place and the mods and admins will review your suggestion. Thanks for your suggestion, means a lot to us. We like dedicated members that want to help the community.

it just seems that a lot of the forums are kind of "doubled." The subforum called, "reef tanks and coral discussion," and "nano reef tanks," could be converged into one.

"Saltwater Fish For Sale, Swap, and Wanted," and "Corals For Sale, Swap, and Wanted," could be converged into one subforum called, "Saltwater Fish and Corals for Sale, Swap, and Wanted."

"Freshwater New and Used Equipment For Sale, Swap, and Wanted," and "Freshwater Fish and Plants For Sale, Swap, and Wanted" could be converged into a single subforum called "Freshwater Equiptment, Fish, and Plants For Sale, Swap, and Wanted."

It just seems that we have some subforums that could be converged. It would be better if the forum was more "organized" and "converged."

Let me know what you think.
