2. I'm down with the idea of simplifying/paring down the forum subsections, or for providing a "search" function for threads that get lost in the haystack. How many times have I been weeding through the forum sections trying to find a black cat in a dark room that wasn't there...
Well there's a search function, but sadly it isn't that good.
Here's how I would change the organization of forums:
1) I would elimante the
"International Zone" section altogether.
"Global Basketball" can be simply be made a child forum of
"Around the NBA". The section is rarely used and doesn't deserve to be a parent forum. No one uses
"Foros en Espaņol", and I mean no one. It's quite useless. But people want to keep it regardless, then just move it to the
"Other Discussions" section.
We elimanted a section that is very rarely used, but still clutters the main forum page.
2) Move
"Entertainment" from being a child forum of
"Off Topic", and make it a parent forum in the
"Other Discussions" section. That forum gets a bit of used, and its potential is being highly hindered by being a child forum. While we're at it, the child forum
"Other Entertainment" should be eliminated, it serves no purpose. Its thread should be moved to the main "Entertainment" portion. Also if needed be, you can easily combine
"TV Shows" and
"Movies" child forums into one, but I'm fine as they are.
The main problem with the "Entertainment" forum being a child of "Off Topic" is that "Entertainment" has many child forums itself and it makes browsing it a bit tedious.
3) I think everyone here can agree that the
"Graphics Forum" and
"Multimedia Forum" should be merged into one. Really, I don't see the point in keeping them separated, particularly since they don't have a lot of activity.
4) I don't undertand why
"Celtics Hall of Fame" is a parent forum. I would make it a child forum of
"Community".
5)
"Using Celtics Blog" and
"Comments & Remarks" should be merged into one. Both sections essentially serve the same purpose, and half the time I don't know in which of the two I should post or where to look for a thread of a certain topic.
I think with all these changes, the forum will look better and will function better. I think most would agree with me on this regard.
And as an aside, I know it has been mentioned quite a few times, but the "Latest Forum Topics" needs to be expanded to atleast 20 threads. That tool is too useful for everyone here to be left as it is.
Would appreciate some feedback on my feedback. Thanks.
