Condensing Off Topic

See this: http://www.sythe.org/community-general/1581417-off-topic-overhaul.html

 

Please include "Stream Section" somewhere in there as well as that's a pending addition. I'd like to add it amidst the overhaul.

 

why does the OT need to be condensed its perfectly fine the way it is in my opinion.

 

No, it isn't. It's far from. Assets and investment section is a prime example. It's hardly used and needs to be moved or removed as a whole.

 

I like it aside from assets.
Also the music should be condensed into one forum as it isn't popular enough as of now for all three.
Fine otherwise imo.


Unless SFA was just "merged" into general seeing as its activity is lacking as well

 

sythe's okay w/ merging SFA if there's enough demand for it. Assets definitely needs to be removed/moved. Music.... We'll see.

 

I'm very glad that this is up for change Thanks guys.

On the left is our current setup, and on the right is my proposed setup.



We can allow Assets/Investment-related discussion in the Market Discussion section. Also, Path Of Exile/PokeMMO are both very inactive sections. The PoE forum was opened more than 3 months ago, yet it only harbors 40 threads.

 

General/Off Topic

• Assests & Investments (if not entirely removed)
• Sport/Health & Fitness
• Technology

Something For All
Media Center (or something of that nature)

• Music
• Movies
• Television
• Video Clips

Spam Forum

Bullet points meaning sub-forums.

 

I think it's good the way it is at the moment. However...
Remove assets and investment for sure... I've had a year of moderating off-topic and I don't think I've ever done anything in that section because its so dead.

With SFA... I think it's lack of activity is due to the fact that absolutely everything has been discussed and argued in there. I think, closing and archiving all SFA threads so people can make new threads would bring the activity up a lot.

I think Sanctuary's Media Center is very good too.

 

Please don't remove SFA.

 

I like superman's set up. Also, I think shoop is right if people had a chance to start over in something for all it may boost the activity up.

 

This is how I'd like to see it.

 

Nobody would ever fucking use that subforum, jesus christ, this the stupidest shit I've ever heard and COMPLETELY goes against the actual suggestion.


OT: Good idea, off-topic needs condensing.

 

I like your idea here except for the fact that the Stream section more than likely won't be active enough to put on the main page. It'll go under the entertainment section if anything, with the opportunity to be moved IF by chance it gets busy.

 

I would like to see a streaming section. I believe it would be a good addition and they could be taken more seriously instead of having to put them in the SF.

 

Agreed, this is why I supported the idea initially, and pushed for the embedding as well.

 

Literature section

do it

 

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. That makes sense. I went ahead and created a revised edit with more detail of the changes.

If we implemented the changes outlined above, this is how the sitemap would look:




Thanks for your consideration

 

I like Superman's idea.

 

Looks good to me. Would like some more input before we decide on anything though.
