Hey Campers,

We're going to do a little trimming around here.. So tell us, what forums would you like to see merged into other forums so we can trim our list? If you reply, be sure to tell us why!

Also, have a NEW forum idea? What NEW forums would you like to see here at wtf.com?

We're going to be adding a graphical forum here for our budding photoshoppers and I think we're going to start a contest shortly as well.. It would be great if we could have a weekly or even daily funny picture put up, and we all fux0red with it. We have a unique bunch so it could be damn funny (and a lot of you do this already on the site)...

So, what say you?

new forum..
the "posting too much forum"..
or alternatively titled "not 'news of the weird', news posted by the weird"..

0.2 over and out


EDIT: photoshop forum is a great idea.. worth1000 is so fucking tight with their 'sensibilities of what's offensive'..

James, I like that funny picture idea.

We don't seem to use computing chamber much, maybe we can merge that into something else.

It's a bit slow right now, but gets a good amount of use. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean others like myself, James, FireZe,Wizardly, BrionWash, etc don't. Anyway, where would you merge a computer forum into? What does it resemble close enough to fit into?

but i accept i may have misunderstood, it's all just dots and loops sometimes to me..


can we have a semi-cockfarm.. like a place for people to spend their first week/first X amount of messages? interactive with everyone else but they aren't allowed past it's cage.. like a trial run..

Yeah, I like the subforums idea.


Insignificant Others and Dearly Detested could be merged together and go under or be merged into Life Sucks.

Gross Misconduct and That’s Gotta Hurt could become one with a new name.

Dragon’s Fortress could become a sub forum of Forum Games and Humor, since it's, well, a forum game.



At this point, I don’t think sub-forums would be all that bad, since these are already established forums, and most people probably use the “New Posts” link on the Portal page to view.

I hate subforums. I absolutely despise them. I would rather not use WTF.com than put up with subforums.

I like the idea of a separate forum for books, but I know it wouldn't be used as much, so I can see it not being created. I also put in my vote for the subforum setup. It makes things seem a little more organized and maybe a little simpler.

i don't like the polls..
two people vote, three argue..




and it wastes room on the homepage that could be used for pictures of unicorns.

lol...

Anyways, normally I'm against sub-forums as in my experience they aren't used all that much except on huge forums that elect to do it later..

I suppose we could do a few sub-forums, and people can just use the links on the forums index.. For example, we could have like ("Life Sucks" / Description / Sub-Forums: Insignificant Others Link / Dearly Detested Link) something like that...

We can also move the RPG into a sub-link, where it WOULD be a subforum, but you can still get to it immediately from the front page... If you just go into life sucks forum, you will see the subs, but don't have to go inside them if you don't want.. You can always visit more direct via the forums index if you prefer... Compromise?

Do not add a gaming forum...It will not be too good for the community. It's not that I'd post shit in it...I just don't want to see assholes typing "L33TS4UCE" and "n00bed" every three fucking seconds.

That's why the only gaming forum I post in is John Romero's...There are about 15 active members, only one of whom is an asshole, and everyone is a designer or an artist, and among the funniest people on the planet. No "1337 users."

That is all. Other than that we are A-1 SUPAR *Totally Gay Hand Gesture*!

I'm going to go ahead and re-organize a few things, but *not* merge yet so that anything we do is reversible.. You can all yell at me if you just can't stand it and we'll find another alternative. :)

Ya know...

I've been a loyal servant to the WTF Gods for more than a year now. How often do I bitch about anything? I never bitch about still being on toilet duty. I never bitch about BRiT always taking my parking space. I never bitch about the fact that I never got that raise you promised. Ya know, I never even bitched about Broken pissin' in my coffee cup that day we had to bail you out of jail after the "Banana incident". After all of the bend overs, after all the lies about letting me piss around with your new T.V. and hang in your Turbo Recliner 2000. But do I bitch? No, I don't.

The only thing I've ever asked for is my Porn and Popcorn Forum.
Do I geht it? Hell no, I can't even geht a new toilet brush. :mad:

Ooooh! Looks like I hit a nerve! :D
If that’s how you want to look at it…

Point being, even thought you’ve probably never posted there, some people do use.

I, for one, would be lost without the Computing Chamber to peruse through while bored. I just find those types of threads far more interesting than ones on how President Bush is going to ruin all of mankind.

I don’t see why the Computer Chamber can’t double as a gaming forum like it has been.

I'd like to see a single place for PC and Console gaming discussions... If it gets a lot of traffic that spawns console-fanboys, then console gaming would get it's own. It would at least isolate most of the twits in a single location.

We seem to have some gaming posts in both Entertainment Ave and Computer Chamber...

Hmm.

Wow, I actually like the subforums.

Makes the place look really organized.

I agree with Britt. The Computing Chamber is more leaning towards Computer Science/Basic Troubleshooting for 'n00bs' whereas game threads tend to be nonsensical and off topic. Make a nice little subThread for gaming.
