We've fixed around in the pub a made a couple of new sections. It's not quite the way I wanted it to be, but let's discuss it.
The point with a dedicated Film/TV series section is that it's easier to make dedicated threads to certain movies etc. Same goes for the rest of the threads--> more specific threads in the Comic/literature and so on.
I'm discussing with the stratogustav as there seems to be a misunderstanding between us. I can't change anything by myself. Also, state your opinions on this.

This is how I think it should have been like:
- General Gaming Discussion
- Movie Discussion
- Comic Discussion
- Collections & Trading
- About Lord Karnage
- Site Feedback
- Wind Squid Art
(The rest of the forum stays like it used to)

Too divided and rather too large for a small community.

Too divided for my taste now, I won't be checking all of those for new stuff several times a day like I used too with the old layout. The one you listed Balder with Movies and Comics as two more than usual fits my usage better.

I just prefer that it doesn't get too divided when we have such a small community in size here, like fsfsxii said. Having stuff in general gaming and general non-gaming sub-sections of the main section is fine by me, I don't think we need an entirely separate third main section with multiple sub-sections like we do atm. For a bigger community it would've worked better but here it feels a bit overkill.

I also disliked it. Like the sections for individual systems/games, they'll be abandoned soon, as we are a small community. I far prefer just clicking on "General Discussion" and seeing any new topics there; the way it is now, I'll just end up forgetting to check every different section we have.
I sincerely think we should go back to have all those sections integrated into a general one.

This isn't such a bad idea, but like others in this thread have said, this forum isn't very populated and moves slowly as a result. I've never felt that the General Discussion moves fast enough that I miss something. Maybe have the sections more broad for now, like making the movie and comic section into one section.

I think a good way to run a community is if there are no complaints; don't change anything, and if you have changes in mind, ask the community for feedback first
if you still make sudden suprise changes and they are immediately followed by mostly or only complaints and negativity; it's better to just change it it back asap
or at the very least change it to be as close to what the community wants as possible, especially if it's a small community that really can't afford to lose members in the first place

He thought we shouldn't do a poll. Then all of a sudden he adds a ton of sections and moves the threads all around. stratogustav get over here.

I also agree with everybody. I didn't want to add a comic section and a movie section on top of Lord Karnage. I'm a little conservative in that, and didn't want to change the old feel of the forum. If new sections were going to be added they had to go to the bottom because we already had a poll about no changing the initial layout so I had to respect that. So when I added the 2 sections at the bottom it looked silly, it actually looks good now, but like everyone said, we don't have the big of a community to support all that. Maybe when we get our 500 members we could do something like that, and hired Dan E. Kool for extra moderation, but right now I'm just going to move it back the way it was as no one is feeling it. In a way it did was like one of those Mark experiments that no one end ups liking such as who defeatz. Balder was just trying to bring something new to the forum and I figured why not, but if no one likes it, it defeats the purpose, it will have to get abolished, so I will revert it back tonight or tomorrow.

I like it I like to have a political section and a music section too :thumbup: I see, to be fair maybe if we had all those sections at the beginning, some members would had feel more compelled to stay, as now that I sort out the topics, all those sections were popular with those members. Don't worry though, those sections will become part of the general discussion and you will be able to post about anything there like social debates and tech, or music and politics as you said.
