Entertainment FOrum

[HyeJinx1984]

I was thinking, maybe we can change the name of the Music forum to "Entertainment" forum, or maybe "Music/Movies" forum? I just find it odd that we don't have a movies forum... I usually end up talking about it in General, which isn't really the right place for it. I know, and arguement cna be made that there isn't much talk about movies or television on this board anyway, but maybe it's because there is no Movie forum? I'd really like so see one.

To this I say, "So what?" and "Why not?"

If we go through General Talk and pick out all the subjects we would have all sorts of forums, all with minimal activity.

Internet Forum
Health Forum
Writing/Literature Forum
Religion Forum
U.S. Politics Forum
etc. etc. etc.

Who cares? Making new forums is not going to make the site easier to use or more enjoyable.

Well, people tend to talk more about movies rather than Health, so I don't really see why you made THAT comparrison. Also, if we have a Music forum it's kind of silly not to have a Movie forum since they're both equally as pop-cultural. Personally I wouldn't mind just having an Entertainment forum that covers Music, Movies, T.V., Books and whatever else people want to talk about that has to do with entertainment. As for "Who cares?" obviously me and not you. as for 'easier,' it's not meant to make it easier (nor would it make it harder), it's just meant to broaden the range of topics... as for 'enjoyable,' I'd enjoy it and I'm sure others would too.

The whole idea of a General Talk is so you would not have all of those forums and avoid the "this belongs in the other forum, that belongs in that forum" nonsense. Broaden the range of topics? It is not going to change the content in anyway. These comments just snowball the movement of people to constantly make suggestions that would not necessarily improve the forum in anyway.

Yea, and I would like an entire Satanism forum. So what?

Then by default we should get rid of the Music forum as well. That's about as general as movies I'd say.

But I know I know, Armenians love to dance and listen to music, we're not really "movie people" I know... I'll leave it alone.

And there's no reason for sarcasm and snide remarks. I had an idea, I thought I'd share with the people in charge of the site. I don't know why you're being so antagonistic.

I was not going to say that. If it works, you do not need to fix it. That is what I am saying.

There's a difference between "fixing" and improving upon. Again, this is just my personal opinion, I'm not forcing anyone to change it, but at the same time I don't think my points are completely invalid and should not just be considered stupid and unecessary as you seem to be acting. All I'm saying is, again, in my opinion, Movies, T.V. and Music kinda all go together, so it seems really really weird that there's a forum for Music (when that could also just be in "general talk") and not for the other two. Not that I want to add a bunch of new forums, I'm just saying I feel it would be good to change the music forum to an Entertainment forum, but if the site's administrators don't like that idea that's fine too. I just don't want to be considered a babbling idiot for not knowing what I'm talking about just because someone doesn't agree with me. It's easy to prove your point when you make the other person seem as wrong as can be, rather than saying the'ye both good ways to go about it but the majority has preference of one way over the other.

[dusken]

I am not trying to make you seem like an idiot (regardless of what I think about you). My point is that it does not matter and entertaining "forum suggestions" is just going to make people want to suggest them more often even if they would not improve the site.

[HyeJinx1984]

There's nothing wrong with entertaining suggestions, CLosing off your mind to any changes is the opposite of progress... but... you're not a moderator or an administrator, are you? I'll wait and see what they say.
