Speakeasy sub-forums
« on: 10 Sep 2010, 17:29 »
I've been thinking of adding a few sub-forums to the 'speakeasy' section.

What I had in mind were sections for Movies and TV, books, and music discussions. These are things people can talk a lot about, and many people are generally interested in. Alternately there could be a single section for all three, if 3 sections strikes people as overkill.

My initial idea would be 3 sections, though. Each would have a 'recommendations' sticky (in the case of music, maybe a sticky for recommendations thread - each thread being for a different genre?). Then if you wanted to discuss a specific movie/book/band you could make a thread for that purpose. (With a single section, there could be 3 stickies, ofc.)

This would give members a specific place to go for this kind of discussion, or if they were looking for recommendations from others in the community. I also think that just the existence of the section would encourage people to start threads, as it would have a focus that the more general 'speakeasy' parent forum section doesn't.

Anyway, thoughts? Proposals for alternate ways of doing things, or other sub-forum ideas?

I'd suggest a "Media" area, since it's better to have one semi-active board (encouraging growth) than three that never see attention. Once it has achieved more activity, splitting it would be an option.

I think you're probably right. If it is popular, I can always split it later.


It would just be a matter of finding some poor sap to sort through the old entries and sort them into the new sections, if it ever came to that.
