I put this to Fash, but she suggested I seek input from the masses...
I'd like to implement a sub forum, because I believe the "one forum - one index" isn't the best way to encourage people to post.
I'd like to confine the subforum to socio-political issues, with a strict no-flaming moderation. However, that does not mean or imply I want moderator authority...I don't. But I do believe the forum as a whole would benefit from some delineation.
The sub-forum would STILL be the responsibility of the existing moderators in terms of rule enforcement.
A "Sub-Forum Host" might be a more descriptive term for what I propose. Hosting is not moderating.
Anyway, throwing it out there for your consideration...
Of course, if you deny me, I'll leave....

lol. I've always liked things neat and orderly so that works for me. =)
I support giving it a go if you make the effort and commitment to populate and post in it.
Do whatever you want.
Quote from: "Renee"
Well, firstly, I can't because its not MY forum, and secondly there's no point in doing so if the members either oppose or don't care.
Try and be a bit partial one way or the other!!!
But that IS the nicest thing you've ever said to me...
Quote from: "RW"
Not like I'm doing now, you mean?
The 'socio' thing is a bit vague. Why not start with a politics only forum? See how it goes.
Good suggestion.
How one separates the two is a bit of a brain bender...but it is a good idea.
Whatever makes life easier for you guys...
I don't think one thread will cut it for the diversity of issues under the political hat.
If you want a sub forum for political topics I will do that this week..
But, I don't see myself contributing much to it.

It's not a bad idea, but I wouldn't want to see it become too compartmentalized. I suggest getting rid of the guest area. It's become an area where that gutless candyass bruce trolls us. Put those threads in the main board and open up a political/social sub forum area.
I don't see the point in having a sub-forum for sociopolitical issues. Why have some threads hidden in a sub-forum when they can just be on the main page? Why only sociopolitical issues?
I certainly don't see how having a sociopolitical sub-forum is going to encourage people to post.

I haven't seen any political junkies complaining!
Quote from: "Romero"
Look, it's not a big deal to me Romero. I am just saying what I think the point Sox is trying to make. He believes a separate area for political junkies could attract traffic. However, how does that work when we are STILL on lock down? ac_dunno

Phew!
'socio-economic' is merely a euphemism for philosophical standpoints, be they in the field of religion; history interpretation or political orientation. Fact of the matter is, everybody has already a fairly entrenched position on all of those subjects, now either tries with missionary zeal to 'enlighten' others, ridicule other viewpoints or viciously defend own p.o.vs. In the end, nothing is gained and it"s a complete w.o.t.
How do I know? For years I battled Neonazis, communists ; sicko freaks; green nuts and Stalinists; revisionists ; antisemitists and pathological Jew haters. All of these people and the political Left, share a common hall mark: rather than deal with reality, they dwell in home spun delusions, phantasies, Utopian irrealism and neither have learned from history nor do they want to learn from it.
Of course, young people interested in pissing contests love to 'discuss' topics of 'socio-economic' nature.
Thanks for reading this far....

I don't disagree with you Heinzy. I know that attempting to persuade opponents to our POV is almost always a waste of time.
However, East Asians are generally more pragmatic than our caucasoid friends. In East Asian democracies, staying the course when something is not working is kind of an unknown. This is why you have centre-right parties in Asia getting support from labour unions and centre-left parties implementing things like open markets, streamlining regulations and other forms of economic liberalization.

I couldn't agree more. Unless this place gets a huge influx of new blood, a sociopolitical forum will fail. Arguing sociopolitical point's of view among the regulars will be a complete waste of time. It's all been done before and it is just so tiresome to see the same and worn out arguments chased round and round with no resolution in sight. I do not relish the thought of taking part in a political forum so that the usual suspects can turn each thread into what amounts to nothing but a verbal circle jerk.
But on the other hand, if someone wants to devote the time and energy to maintain a sociopolitical forum then so be it. Let them knock themselves out. ac_cool
"limited earning potential".
Fuck I´ve only heard asians saying that.
Overall talk about earning potential.
Quote from: "Romero"
I certainly don't see how having a sociopolitical sub-forum is going to encourage people to post.
Rom...let us put aside our enmity for a moment and simply consider the practical aspects of what I am advocating.
I know that some feel that throwing everything in one big bucket is preferred. RW is in that camp.
However, as an example, setting aside "discussions", I know many people enjoy the funnies thread. I wanted to add something a couple of days ago, and had to scroll through three pages of threads to find it. Some might find that onerous...and thus dies a popular thread, because its buried beneath issues about Canada, in which a number of us have no interest, and other threads that have little endurance, but remain above the more appealing threads due to their chronological recency.
Personally, I think this is dumb.
I cannot quite understand the resistance to compartmentalising the forum into a few subs...I am advised by your Admin that is not a technical challenge to do so. It does not affect your moderating. It merely points members into the direction of threads they may wish to contribute to on an ongoing basis. The consequence being that when visitors arrive, they will see, for example, "The Blue Cashew" under which there would be a few headings. "GLOBAL Politics", "General Discussion", "Creatives", and an old favourite...the Spitoon, or Dumpster.
The only change is that each sub would have a host who accepts some responsibility to maintain activity.
As I am happy to host a political discussion sub, I thus volunteer to see how it will function.
I advocate ONLY socio-political issues as a test case. See how it works, and perhaps the rather confusing resistance to creating a number of sub-categories may subside.
That's all.
The more I look at it, the more I have to agree that categorizing seems to be the way to go.
Quote from: "SPECTRE"
I knew this was really about your dislike of Canadian threads! It's no good reason to make a sub-forum. Who's "a number of us" to you? Because a number of us are the ones posting these threads.
I'd feel pretty foolish for joining an Australian forum and telling them I didn't want to see issues about Australia.
The next time you tire yourself out from scrolling through a few pages, keep in mind there is a search feature.
Most other forums do categories with great success. Why not try something tried and true?

Sigh...well, I tried.
This is NOT A FUCKING CANADIAN FORUM...geddit!!! Does the sign say "The Blue Canadians"?
If I go to Van, I expect a lot of Canadian discussion. That is its flavour. The Blue Cashew was intended, according to my information, to be non-national, and non-racial. Hence, "The Blue Cashew". Geddit?
I have NO dislike for Canadian threads, things or people Canadian or any other nation. I have a view that confining your discussion to Canadians actually suppresses other issues, as I have illustrated.
You're no better than Munday, if you cannot set aside personal animosity and at least discuss an issue as THE issue, not the person raising it.
You are being beligerent for its own sake, and you did not even have the decency to reply to my PM in person.
Seems to me someone is carrying a little latent Memebee attitude.
Quote from: "SPECTRE"
This forum is a Canadian forum as in it's in Canada and most of the posters are Canadian. If I visited an Australian based forum for whatever reason, I would call it an Australian forum. Nobody ever said this forum was only Canada or only for Canadians, and it's not.
People here are simply discussing whatever they want. It's not our problem if you don't like it. You get to post whatever you want. You don't see anyone here telling you to keep it off the main page.
We're posting the exact same kind of things we wanted to at any other forum. Why would we change what we wish to write about? Nobody knew you'd get all pissy about us discussing the same things we've always discussed.
Technically, it's not in Canada.
What's wrong with categories? I'm asking since you can't then the thread card at me and skirt the discussion with bullshit :)
It's not busy enough to warrant sub-forums. The bottom threads on the main page are from two days ago. We need a sub-forum because somebody had to find one thread?
We don't need a sub-forum just because one person doesn't like seeing Canadians discussing Canadian issues.
The question is, will subforum generate more discussion? I saw it on Blurt's board back in the day. He had categories and it inspired people to post a variety of topics.
Romerotard is displaying exactly the attitude that will eventually undermine this forum. He's taking an opposing stance because of personal animosity.
I am trying to MAKE it busy enough, he is just being obstructive.
Nothing changes.
He's only one person and so far, the only one with an opposing view.
I say let's experiment with categorization because it can't hurt. This place has experienced little or no growth since the split and if it is going to survive it has to revive interest and attract new members. If Romero has a better idea he better produce it because this place is on the edge of being just another dead forum. All it needs is for one or two regulars to lose interest and probably 50% of the current forum traffic will cease.
Again, if someone wants to put in the effort to create a sub forum and maintain it, then by all means do it.
I agree Renee.
I think you're a fatalist renee. This forum could sustain people losing interest - it does all the time. There's nothing to panic about. You posters are a core group with a forum habit. You've all become close and eliminated a lot of your problems (myself, for example). About categorization - I have an opinion but I don't think I should make suggestions.
What do you mean eliminated our problems (you)?
Why shouldn't you make suggestions?
Quote from: "RW"
Why shouldn't you make suggestions?
I was a problem that I'm sure many of you are relieved to be rid of :)
I thought maybe I shouldn't make suggestions, although you guys are fine with it, because I'm not as involved as most of you.
Are you being sarcastic? You? A problem?! NO WAY!
I think you should make suggestions :)
:)
On this subject, categorization, I don't like categories. My opinion aligns generally with Romero's. I didn't like how blurt's forum was set up into categories. But, a few categories wouldn't hurt - just so long as the whole thing wasn't categorized (as blurt's was).
I didn't like categories until Blurt'z place inspires me to post things I normally wouldn't have.
I think that's a good compromise - categories while maintaining the main board :)
And, it is a Canadian forum that should focus more on Canadian topics. We should agree on that before proceeding.

BTW, as far as I'm concerned you are more than welcome to make suggestions on whatever subject you like. You are a member here and have every right to do so.
Thanks Renee :) I never thought you're annoying. Sometimes we don't understand each other. It made me laugh when you got pissed off that I posted a plum pudding poem in a thread I started on the wolf moon. I enjoyed your reaction on a lot of things.

Unlike others, I am less kindly disposed towards you, although I recognise your right to an opinion, and that opinion deserves respect.
However, if this IS a Canadian forum, I would invite Fashionista to confirm that. Why then, don't many contributors such as yourselves confine yourself to a dedicated and acknowledged forum like Van? Why come here? Not that its an issue...the point is why is there a need for TWO Canadian forums?
And thus, can I assume that no fucks are given for non-Canadians? A simple yes or no will do.

ha ha ha. I said that Chief Spectre, but I was teasing you! I'm glad you read it :) I'm glad you questioned it. Forget about it. I was just teasing you. And soliciting opinions on maple syrup, which is pretty much all we Canadians do.
Like half of the reg posters here are from somewhere else.
Does that count for something?
The more international, the better. Every place has different perspectives. One of my sisters lives in Europe - her opinion is completely influenced by living there.

Why does it have to be modded? are we not adults?
There are very few occasions that people have ever accused me of lying or being duplicitous.
Then add this one to the very few occasions. I'm sorry...I believe you enjoy running simultaneously with the fox whilst hunting with the hounds.

It's a forum. Yes, I'm doing that. In real life I'm part of a martial arts group - I've never taken classes at a different group - it's important to the politics of this type of martial art that we're loyal. On the internet I post at memebee and have posted here. It's not duplicitous, it's chatting with two (2) different groups of posters. I never voted in the who's the worst mother poll or did anything mean. I never made mean references to anyone that posts here or on memebee, spectre.

I think there's little value in having a sub-forum. This is not a fast paced forum, so there's really no need to categorize. Sub-categorizing is unlikely to draw new posters and I don't see the rationale that it will increase posting amongst the existing posters; I expect the opposite. Sub-forums decrease usability by reducing the visibility of topics. It requires another click to see the topics in the sub-forums, an effort that many won't take on a regular basis.
I also agree that the attack on Asal is totally unwarranted and that generally speaking, Asal is a delightful creature with a sparkle in her eye and a wit to match, who rarely speaks negatively of anyone. I would note that the effort to instill an us vs. them politic is likely to be far more damaging than having her around.
Quote from: "SPECTRE"
Much as I luv ya Leo, this seems way out of line.
Asal does not play sides. She is also not the only one who posts in both forums .. certainly I do despite some animosities toward me in the "other" place .. maybe that is partly why I like to do it? ac_smile
From where I sit you are also a great poster ... all regulars here sure are too ... and I do not see why we cannot just post away without getting negatively personal
What say you?

Hello reel, thank you for your sound advice..
I want to get rid of guest posting..
It has turned into a place where a couple of immature posters from Vancouver Forum post insults.
ac_huh I don't visit guest posting, but I can't see people wanting to join here based on a guest posting area either. No value. You want to get rid of it, do it.
I can't really see there being a mass of new posters coming, but if the goal is to increase numbers, the discussion should be about what draws people in. Sub-categorization is unlikely to do that. My belief is that forums attract posters much like celestial bodies attract mass. A strong, cohesive central mass exerts a gravitational attraction that draws them in. In the case of a forum, this has little to do with structure. It has to do with a sense of community. Even a few posters if they possess some charisma and an open attitude can draw in new comers, who are looking for a welcoming community.
You obviously get this Fash, whether consciously or not. You are trying to build a sense of community and respond kindly to a new person or rare poster every time. Some of the others don't seem to get it.
There are some charismatic individuals here. The best route is to encourage them to do what they do.

That is disappointing.
I like the pizza thread in guest posting. I saw it yesterday :)
Reel, I think it's worth a shot to try out categories IMHO. Nothing to lose frankly and easy to revert back if need be. This place has always had a spirit of experimentation - why stop now?
Who's going to move the threads that SPECTRE doesn't want to see into this new sub-forum?

Nobody deserves having their threads removed from the main page just because he doesn't want to see them.
He advocated for categories long ago. Most people who post regularly expressed wanting to try it. You are being obstinate because you don't like him.
He's talking about removing threads he doesn't like off the main page. He's one poster. Why should he get to decide where everyone else gets to post? I don't want any of my threads removed from the main page. Nobody does.
I don't like his threads. So make a sub-forum for his threads and I'll move them all there. Okay?

You are stuck on repeat Ro. Categories aren't punishment and can you explain if he hates these thread so much, why has he agreed to spend so much time with them in a sub forum?

Pick up your needle slappy.
Personally I don't see why anyone would want to post here if they have to sift through pages and pages of shit just to find a topic that interests them. Categories will make it much easier to identify topics you are interested in. Almost every other forum I've belonged to for the past decade eventually went to a category type format and it seemed to have worked. The resistance to trying something new smacks way too much of Van like atitudes.
I wonder if there would be so much push back if someone other than Spectre had suggested it.

Hey Ro, thanks for sharing your opinion. I hope Fash has enough sense to read what you are ignoring.

And there we have it folks. Romero denying the idea of a poster because HE doesn't like him.

He wants threads put into categories. It has very little to do with what he likes or doesn't like. SPECTRE has no problem with the threads themselves. This whole issue was generated because last week there were about 5 threads on front page were devoted to the Candian elections and they were clogging the main page. You would know this If you could manage to read more than one or two of the most recent posts in any given thread.
As for whether or not I think it's a waste of time is sort of irrelevant. Again if you could read you would understand that I was against posting in a sociopolitical sub forum based on the current membership. I am of the opinion that any sociopolitical discussions within the confines of this small circle will do nothing but degenerate into the kind of useless circular arguements that are a waste of time. BUT that doesn't mean I'm against sub categorization of topics, especially if someone is willing to make the effort to moderate and maintain the sub.
I still don't understand why you are against this idea other than the fact that you have an issue with SPECTRE.
I assure you Renee had you or Shen or anyone else suggested it, there wouldn't be this debate. Frankly, Romero's attitude reeks of VF, which I think most of us agree we don't want to be just another version of.

5 threads about CANADIAN politics???
ac_wot
As you can see, he doesn't like the Canadian threads and wants them removed from the main page. He has gone into some of these threads to complain about them.
He does not like them.
Right now there are three threads regarding Canadian issues out of twenty-five on the main page. That's not a huge deal or hassle, and they don't deserve to be hidden away in some sub-forum because one person doesn't like them.
I found 5 threads about the same thing annoying. Am I evil too?
Keep digging that hole Romero.
Romero and hysterics, perfect together.
Why am I not surprised?
It's the way he rolls. What's worse is Spec seems to give him weight.

Would you remove threads you don't like from the main page?

I'm not the one constantly whining about threads I personally don't like. I believe posters have the right to have their threads on the main page.
I support putting in categories as a trial for facilitating conversation.
Without mentioning Spectre's comments, what is your reason for opposing trying this?
Quote from: "RW"
Unfortunately we all give him weight by engaging his hysterical irrationality. As you said, he is one opinion and the decision is not up solely to him. If Fash sees merit in making one or more sub forums it will happen.
I just hope she doesn't give him more weight because he wears the green.

Aha! Therein lies the problem. It's pageism! The assumption that a sub-forum is somehow inferior to the main page. This is not nor should it be the case. A sub-forum is simply a division of the main forum that is specific to a certain topic or range of topics. There's no inferiority implied. It just makes it easier for people to find what they are looking for.
Anyway, I'm glad that's settled.

:howdy:
I still disagree with the idea of subgroups or categories. I think it decreases usability. Only use I've ever had for them on a small forum was segregating posts that certain posters just wouldn't allow to die. As soon as they were segregated into the subforum, they did die.
On a big forum, they serve to develop sub communities within the larger community. I don't see that happening here.
Maybe you are thinking too small reel.
I think it's worth trying.
I never think too small.
You need more people for this to have value. If you want more people, you need to focus on what will bring you more, not structure things as though it were so and wish that it was.
This forum is a stream of consciousness. It's not unmanageable in it's present state, so there's no reason to split the stream.
If you want to, then do it, but it won't actually affect anything other than forcing you to click on more things and remember where you were in two streams instead of just one.
If you are going to make anything into a subforum, make one for threads about the site itself, like this one. you've got enough of those on the main page filling up space without adding any community content.
You mean sorta have something like we just had?
Hrm....that's not the idea.

Well what's going to bring more people here? A big pile of disorganized shit, scattered all over any number of pages or a neat and orderly format where topics of interest are easier to locate?
Currently both this place and Van are of the big pile of crap type of forum. Now ask yourself; exactly how many new members has either place attracted in the past year? I think the answer is almost none. And yes I'm NOT including the existing nuisance posters creating additional handles. Those we can do completely without.
I'm all for trying a new format. I'm not saying every category is going to be a hit but it can't perform any worse than the current format has. Right now the stagnation in terms of new incoming members is growing more obvious by the day.

I totally agree with Renee and share in her frustration about how the board is scattered. Pooh thread? Really?
we need to fix this shit right now.
OK, I agree that since all the guest posting threads just got merged with the main ones, it's pretty messy, but that will be temporary. Realistically, I think the majority of those guest posts should just have been deleted.
What will bring more people is a culture and a community that people can relate to. Somewhere with interesting discussion that you might actually tell a friend about. I really don't think that depends on the structure of the board.
Anyway, I don't think it will do that much harm to categorize other than slowing down or reducing existing posting, so go ahead and try it.

Out of pure morbid curiosity I took a look at Van the other day. It was the first time in weeks that I was either dumb or bored enough to lurk at the monkey ranch and I have to tell you, I wasn't disappointed. The place was exactly as I expected. Every thread on the main page was either started by or dominated by the usual brigade of ree-ree's and their mommy/caretaker. Almost every thread, IMHO, was a throw-away, full of nut-jobs spouting nonsense and coddling of the said nut-jobs by the asylum staff.
I think mixing the "Guest Forum" and the "turds" that lived in it with the main board was a mistake as it only adds to the messiness and most of all, I'm extremely puzzled at what it was supposed to accomplish. Personally I think it adds a bit of a repellent vibe to the place that any
I agree Renee or at least if this place is going to allow these folks, they should be confined.
Quote from: "RW"
I agree; confinement is probably the best option. I mean we can put them on ignore but that doesn't help make this forum an attractive place to hang out. It just ignores the turds floating in the punch bowl.
Personally I'm kinda exasperated that we are still having to deal with issue when this is one of the reasons why many of us migrated here from Van. ac_dunno My main beef with evs and my reason for being such a bitch to her was because she out and out refused to get rid of or even reign in the creeps.
Yes the blocked board looks attractive to every1 outside our little community.

No threads need to be moved, except at the discretion of the mods. I do hope Romerotard embraces his responsibility to the forum, and does his very best to exclude personal feelings from the issue.
And if he has any personal issues, my PM box is available to him 24/7.
