Opinions needed on possible new forums

Re: Opinions needed on possible new forums

I would consider that. They could be sub-forums maybe.

Me too. I don't post in Car and Sports, so I'd like the opinions of those that do as well, but I think career topics would be fine in general.

The career forum can use a definite boost though, someone here has to have an idea for it that would make a super thread there that could hit dozens of pages long of discussion, maybe a monthly contest for finding the most ridiculous careers on the planet?

I say yay on the forum for Arts & Literature.

I also say yay in keeping the Sports forum.

I say nay on keeping the car forum, but I know lotsa members like it, like Sip or Crimson.

I say yay on the career forum, but that should be changed and expanded to "School and Career" or "Education and Career" with the subheading "Talk about all your school related stuff as well as jobs".

Re: Opinions needed on possible new forums

school and career would do well to be merged.

for the record, I'm for arts and lit, and also science.

Yes on Science, it'd be great place to discuss science in general but, medicine and technology as well.

Yes for Art/lit as well, the poetry corner thread in the intellectual lounge could be moved there or we could have a separate sub-section within Art/Lit for poetry.

I think that instead of having Music and Tv & Movies, it should be a general Entertainment section, with Music, Tv, Movies, and even Sports as subsections with in it.

Having education merged with the Career forum is a good idea.

Also maybe making the Armenian Genocide section into a subsection of Armenian History, would be a good idea as well. Also I the captioning beneath the Armenian genocide section should be edited to 1915-1923

But there has to be discussion in these forums to begin with, and I personally don't think that there would be more than 10 threads in those forums becuase people wouldn't have anything to talk about.

There's plenty of to talk about of art and lit you can talk about, including many works done by Armenians. As for science that subject is a obviously less Armenia oriented but it affects every one and includes things like technology (there's been more than 1 tread about cell phones), and healt/medicine, speaking of which, the drug Mexidol was just banned in Armenia.

I am also disheartened that the Armenian issues were put at the bottom. I think this is our strength, not our weakness.

I'm not necessarily disheartened, however i agree that they should be on top since it is an Armenian forum after all.

Re: Opinions needed on possible new forums

in general I agree with Ara87's suggestions, but I would rather suggest in addition to the foregoing to change the header intellectual lounge into culture and to include hitory, music, litterature (which includes poetry) art and even religion
also I would like to suggest to create a link to listen music on line -armenian, western, russian, etc- since, well at least personnally myself, when on line, I always listen radio stations -without mentionning names- on another tab

I basically only have time to look at New/Updated threads so I don't look at specific forums. Having a few generic sections is probably better than lots and lots of narrow sections. Also, hopefully all sections are "intellectual" (maybe except for 1 just chit/chat/ankap section)

Re: Opinions needed on possible new forums

so are we going to add any new sections, or no?

Re: Opinions needed on possible new forums

We shall see.

Likely it will be, just a matter of when.

I propose changing the "Intellectual Lounge" to something else. Any suggestions? "Serious Discussions"?
