Re: Adding more subforums - Zoidberg - 05-03-2013
Sometimes -- only sometimes -- I wouldn't mind having commented threads move to the top of the list. Or at least have that view as an option. That is, if someone comments on a thread from last week, it moves to the top. I wouldn't want that as the regular daily view, but I wouldn't mind seeing it as an option.

"My one pupil has begun his work with me, and I will give you a description how the lecture is conducted. It is the most important point, you know, that the tutor should be dignified and at a distance from the pupil, and that the pupil should be as much as possible degraded.... So I sit at the further end of the room; outside the door (which is shut) sits the scout; outside the outer door (also shut) sits the sub-scout: half-way downstairs sits the sub- sub-scout: and down in the yard sits the pupil.
The questions are shouted from one to the other, and the answers come back in the same way--it is rather confusing till you are well used to it."

I personally like the main forum as it is - but this has been shot across the bow a couple times, and glad to see the poll and results not surprising.
That said - the 'political' forum side currently has no sponsor, use is limited to a single digit percentage... and because people can't seem to help themselves but devolve conversations into personal pot shots and even direct attacks - it also has a very disproportionate percentage of Mod time spent on it. With lots of other forums more appropriate for that kind of discourse, going to see a poll on it's future. Certainly it's going to need a sponsor for it to continue imho.

Larry, unfortunately without such a side to the forum, political posts will then leak onto this side and poison it. This is why Craigslist originally had a section for 'hookers'. When they eliminated that, the hookers now advertise in the regular personals section. I think this place would be a lot worse off if we didn't have an 'outlet' such as the political side.

I don't even like it that there's a separate political forum. If it were up to me I'd combine everything. Splitting things up further does not serve any useful purpose.

More subforums more clicks more revenue?
If it is traffic to the Main page or another page that you want us to frequent put your banner up instead of Amazon's.
All second guessing aside, the single forum style is just that. The style that is all but lost and just seems to work here at this time and generation of pollsters.
A big thank you for all you have done and continue to do to entertain this bunch of castaways.
