ExIsle: Subforum crazy?

[Grandtheftcow]

The Staff has been discussing the various fora here at EI and believe it would be a good idea to streamline the front page by consolidating and/or moving some of the less active forums.

In order to clean up the main board and (hopefully) make things better, Personal Finance has been merged into Consumer Technology.

So why the sudden scramble to reduce the number of forums? Just look at the board. Activity is down all over and the new registration process has killed board growth.

Congratulations EI you’re on a sinking ship.

to make it look like ther is activity, and thus encouraging visiting fora and posting?

 

[Pryce]

Yep...

Last year it was create and separate.

This year... make everything compact. Hide those slow forums...

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Well, it might also be a shrinking staff situation. Merging forums enables them to keep staff numbers at the present level or even reduce Staff.

 

[Grandtheftcow]

The same three mods are in charge of The Beach, The Boardwalk, and Welcomes & Birthdays so that wouldn't apply to them. I can't remember who was in charge of the Personal Finance forum though but I assume their still on staff anyway.

 

[Enkephalen]

I thought Mitjan was mod of the financial forum. . .I could be wrong though. Turf wars?

 

[Captain Jack]

Meh, the Personal Finance and Sports forums are pretty much dead. And Welcomes and Birthdays have been all too often overlooked. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I really don't care much about this. Personally, I see no reason to have a Personal Finance forum on a SCIENCE FICTION MB in the first place, especially with such a large teen/very early twenty something membership.

He was.

 

[DarthSikle]

He was.

did you stab him in the back also?

The dead "Industry Insider Updates" forum,
should be folded into some other active forum.
It looks very pathetic with only a few current theads.

 

[Enkephalen]

I know!! They should fold up the Sports Bar and the Financial Forum into with Industry Insiders! Fold gently just like you would egg whites in an angel food cake, otherwise, the fluffy egos could go poof.

 

[Grandtheftcow]

Hmm rouge mods editing my thread title?

 

[Caitriona]

All fixed!

 

[Grandtheftcow]

It was obviously the TK nazi administration targeting trolls again

 

[Caitriona]

Obviously!
