What sub forums might you lot be interested in?

It's a fairly simple question really, but since we've moved, i had a notion with the powers that be, that if there's a want for something, we might actually get it.

If we're nice that is, for a day, or two.

So, any requests regarding sub-forums?

Footie per example?

A "games and fun" sub forum for werewolf games etc?

Reviews?

Keep in mind that each sub-forum will ofcourse slice the forum activity a bit, but if there are sections that warrant a sub-forum of our degenerate section, do make your voice heard.

none. It won't be necessary unless we get a lot of new members.

Well, if someone has an idea, give a call, or post here.

No need to come up with one at this second :p

Deebs has just removed loads of sub forums!
I seriously doubt he will be adding any news ones!

I agree with the masses, let's stick with what we have.

I actually talked it over and he's open for ideas, so it's not a 100% no.

As said, dangers are always in splicing a forum section, but if there's a coolsticks idea then it's worth a mention.

In that regard, a sub-forum for nametags/guilds/servers in various games could work.

Such as [Starcraft II] - Post your nametag.

With no extra rabble on the games themselves.

Remove the official You Tube sticky thread.

If someone's after a YouTube video, they surf YouTube.
If someone wants to post a random vid, the random spam thread is good enough. If anything, THAT should be stickied.

Its one of if not the most popular thread & s/b stickied imo

Look at how many replies the Boobs Thread has. If you build it they will come.

what about a trading subforum, or would that cause too much of a headache?

FH would have no responsibility for overseeing any transactions or disputes or anything but if people have something they want to get shot of, or need, something they could ask there and then carry out the transaction in private.

On my uni forum we have a section for text books people post what they have/need and it works quite well.

Its still up there tho

Boobs: 1700 replies / 172,500 views
Spam: 4385 replies / 119,982 views
2010-2011 Football: 6801 replies / 81,852 view

Arse: 540 replies / 38,187 views

IMO kick arse off sticky, & put the football & random spam up top. We've got football fantasy stickied and only 12 ppl do that. Everyone enjoys random spam

Don't sticky, it kills threads, active threads are always near the top anyway. No sub forums either, the forums aren't active enough, we just got rid of loads of them.

They could work as information centrals.

For example if new players want to match up in Starcraft, it's a real hazzle picking out the IDs.

Same with what EQ suggested, a trading forum for trialkeys, random stuff etc.

Yes because he is a reasonable person but it is highly unlikely that there will be sub forums in off-topic. It doesn't make a lot of sense to do that.

An example of how pointless it would be is; a football sub forum. We have circa 5 football threads a year. 5. Why does that require a sub forum?

trading has it's own inherent risks, deebs has never stopped selling or trading on here as it is. You get the odd thread pop up now and then, it doesn't require it's own sub forum.

Fragmenting forums has never worked. It's been done time and again over the years of BW and FH, it's always ended in merging them back into the parent forum because of lack of use.

A private porn sub-forum would be good. Posting all the great porn vids.

Private so not anybody can see it, just the regulars!
