sullen Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Since you are just starting out with the forums, you should seperate them into permanent subjects i.e. Hacks, Programs, Recording, Problems, etc. instead of monthly news. I am sure someone here goes to VCDHelp.com, but they are a great example of a well organized forum board. Here's a link: http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/index.php This will make navigation and finding specific topics much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 I'd actually suggest that for now, you have fewer forums, even just News and Readers' Topics. There isn't much need to separate news into different months because the whole forum is searchable anyway. If a person is looking for an old topic, then chances are, they won't know the exact month it happened in, thus naming forums that way doesn't really help them. As for justification towards having a single Readers' Topics forum, it is a bit harder to put my finger on. But basically, as soon as you categorize all the posts into forums, you end up with some forums getting all the activity and others getting very little. Eventually, it seems like the less popular forums are useless just because there is so little activity in them. If you get rid of them, then you need to change the titles of other forums to make them more general and it just gets messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
