Title: General discussion forums
Post by: joshuamorgan on December 21, 2007, 09:41:44 pm: OK, basically I want to split the 'General Non-VCE Discussion' forum into several sub-forums, such as 'Locker Room' (in need of a better title, for sporting-related discussion), 'Gaming/Tech Talk', etc. This will clean the forum up quite a bit making it easier to find topics that interest you.

Thoughts? What sub-forums should we create?

Post by: joshuamorgan on December 21, 2007, 09:45:37 pm: Yeh, coupled with the cleaning up of subject forums it should make it a lot easier to find stuff.

Post by: Odette on December 21, 2007, 09:47:41 pm: Oh what about make like sub-forums for each subject forum... i.e notes, exams, help/questions, discussion?

Post by: joshuamorgan on December 21, 2007, 09:52:18 pm: Sorry Odette but I dis-agree. I don't want to have too many levels of forums, it appears very messy. I was more referring to the subject grouping idea.

Post by: Odette on December 21, 2007, 09:53:27 pm: Right ok then :) fair enough

Post by: excal on December 22, 2007, 09:23:57 pm: As discussed in the IRC, my proposal for the forum splittage:

- General / Off-topic (for all non-fitting discussion)
- Trading House (for students to buy / sell stuff; mainly books I'd assume)
- Lifestyle and Entertainment
- News and Politics (ref: existing forum)
- Employment and Careers
- Technology (whether we put computer games in here or Entertainment is up for discussion)

Post by: joshuamorgan on December 22, 2007, 09:28:58 pm: Thanks, I think it's a good proposal.

What about a sporting forum? I think there's only 1 sporting thread at the moment, however.

Post by: excal on December 22, 2007, 11:03:06 pm: Probably roll that into Lifestyle as well...(it's a big mother of a forum!)
