General/Off-Topic is a clusterfuck.

I am of the opinion that we should do away with all those subsections. But that's probably too radical for some of you weirdos, so how about removing some of the useless subsections.

• Group all Music sub-sections into Music.
• Removing Assets and Investment
• Removing the Sport/Fitness/Health section(inb4 fags disagree), there's not enough activity, and if you check General/Off-Topic, there are numerous threads that would fall under it's umbrella, such as the NoFap thread, the sleeping thread, and probably more. - Optional

Again, I just want to re-iterate the fact that I think ALL of the subsections are useless and there's not enough activity in the main section to warrant them. And if you agree with full removal of subsections or partial, say which one.

 

I do agree with the music merge. The video clips and music clips section could be merged, since WeRnIs always bloody posts his remixes in video clips -.-

 

That would be a good merge both sections aren't that active. SUPPORT

 

I agree with all points. I PM'd Richard about the music forums a few days ago.

 

General - has died down so much because it's such a cluster, i completely support.

 

yeah I agree looks worse than my shit...people don't bother going into messy sections it's just no appealing

 

I sort of agree with op.
Regarding sports and assets sub sections 90% of posts in either could be answered by making a sticky.
In sports - how to not be a fatty, how to build muscle.
In assets - there is no such thing as fool proof investing and you have no money to lose. Stop trying.

Never visited music section.

 

Bumping this because this section is awful and since the restructure activity has died down, a lot.

 

Support. Dislike the layout and subsected way it is.

 

Support, clean dat shit up.

 

My preferred layout:

Off-topic

General/Off-topic
Something for all
Media

Music
Movies & Television
Video Clips​

Technology
Spam Forum
Sand Box​

Re: Assets & Investment - Help related questions go to help & requests/homework help, other to OT
Re: Health/Sports & Fitness - Help related questions go to help & requests/personal support, other to OT
Re: Video clips - Dead & fits in well with Music & TV


Appears on homepage as:

Off Topic

General/Off-Topic
Something For All
Media(?)
Technology
Spam Forum
Sand Box​

There's always the possibility to just have "Music, TV & Video clips" instead of Media and group it all in one section but personally I didn't think they were that dead.

 

I support that format.

General Discussion has significantly died down since the restructure. It should stand alone to eliminate confusion.

I don't support this.

At the current time, Health/Sports & Fitness is more active than General Discussion and compared to the others, still more active. It should also stand alone.

 

That many active threads in a whole week doesn't really require a section of it's own in my mind. Combining those with OT would just make one, more active section. Most of them are good discussion threads, too.

 

If that is the issue, Technology doesn't need it's own section.



There are more current-month replies in Technology but the majority of replies are either articles increasing an individuals post count (bullshit replies) or simple questions that can be asked in either General Discussion or Help & Requests.

 

I disagree entirely. The technology section is fairly active and has potential to become more active if people continue posting interesting threads.

 

The same argument can be made by someone with same adamancy regarding athletic views.

 

Sport/Health & Fitness is more of a general topic that the average user can join in with without spamming.

 

Bump, I'd like to see something done before the section dies completely.

 

I like Roary's suggestion but in reality I'd much rather see one large section (take away the subforums) as general and have it very active as opposed to so spread out. You lose active members like myself when we have to navigate through every single forum to find new posts/topics. If they were in the same forum I'd be able to see the topics that pop out at me and I'd jump in on the discussion.

 

Well I guess it isn't all that inactive. Slightly worse than technology but not awful.
