am i the only one who gets bugged when they open the forum and "eisley blog" has 8,000+ topics, while the others have like 2?

i feel that the "eisley blog" should be dispersed into categories like: shows, music, creations, news, and miscellaneous. or something along those lines.

i'm just putting this out there ...

I like it all kept together. We already have a million subcatagories as is... it just starts getting cluttered and confusing when you add more.

eisley blog really doesn't need to be subdivided; there are already enough categories, and though this is a well-loved forum, even it doesn't get enough traffic to warrant such a split.


i think it's fine as it is.

oh okay

i was just wondering if i was the only person haha i guess i am Razz

i brought it up because i post at another forum and i like it with categories that get used. i guess that's the little OCD part of me that everybody has... all the files on my computer are meticulously categorized Embarassed

More forums = less discussion

People normally won't sift through 5-10 boards every time they log in, so if there is only one they are more likely to discuss something they weren't even searching for in the first place.

That being said, I always use the 'view posts since last visit' feature anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me.

ahhh that's a good tool

although the people at the daphne loves derby forum are real tight and the categories are just... more organized. for example: here, i've seen people post things that have already been posted and they get a hand slap because they didn't look first... but i don't blame them, this place is like a messy desk. and the search engine kinda sucks... Confused

It definitely doesn't bug me. The fan-run Brandi Carlile forum has like a zillion subforums, and sometimes show reviews get cross posted in "Concerts" and "Brandi's Music," and music sharing gets cross posted in "Brandi's Music" and "Exchanging Music," and it's really annoying. I think it's easier to keep track of duplicate threads and stuff when there's just one forum devoted entirely to discussing the band.

I think the way the forum is organized. And good moding helps.

And this is totally in the wrong section. Wink

I don't really understand what you're saying. Laughing The only section I see with one category is Old News and Announcements.

I presume you mean the tour posters, discogs, and press forums. They've been around a while and just fulfill their purpose until they're integrated into the rest of the site.

Eisleyblog will always have more posts too, because we don't prune topics. Topics in "Everything Else" get pruned if there's no posts in 60 days. The Eisleyblog posts go back about 5 years now.

i'm talking about
Eisley Posters
Eisley Dicography
Press

the first 2 should be combined in some Eisley History folder

Eisley 101 should be in News and Announcements

and then Eisley Blog should be divided up into... 3? different categories on that first page

soooo that's how if feel....
