I've found that forums which employ too much categorisation tend to have the perihpheral forums overlooked by many and not visited that often.


Personally I think it would be much better to have all BB8 stuff in one forum ( This one )

Threads about wars ( or bonds ) between two housemates can't be put in mnor ethan one forum. So this forum contains theads abotu housemates as well as the individual forums.

Rather than being more organised IMO it makes it more messy.

That definitely happens. The first forum I ever posted on was a BB section within a larger forum, and it was weeks at least before I ventured beyond it. Now that I administrate myself though, members who stick to one section and ignore the rest of the forum ('innocently' or not) are a bit of a pain.

But there's way too much activity here for everything on one page to be viable, I suppose. One of the most annoying things for any Mod to see is important topics slipping off page one, replaced by multiple threads of little merit. If anything this system allows for more variety, and content that would otherwise be merged into another thread has the opportunity to develop into an interesting topic. Lots of people enjoy a little area where most of the posts are positive towards their favourite/s, too.
