Default Rearrangement of the forum?

Because the front page of TiBB has lots of different forums could we please make a bit neater? I think that the section "Big Brother Series" should be called "Other Big Brother" and it should have all of the current forums as sub-forums coming off the main title. Seeing as all of the shows have finished now in the "Other Television" section can that please be made into sub-forums as well (just like I mentioned previously). For the "Non Big Brother Chat" part could we have the forum "General Chat and Games" instead of "Chat and Games" and "General Chat" forums as separate parts. I would also like the "Sport" section to be taken off the main forum and put back into "General Interests" - and this could be replaced by "Graphics". In "General Interests" there is the section "Creative Writing" - I think that it shouldn't be a sub-forum but "Interactive Archive" could be put into the "General Interests" section and be taken off the "General" part of the forum. I think that the "Upcoming Big Brother Events - Today's events from Calendar" is a useless section which no-one ever uses or looks at. Overall, I like the forum a lot but it is a little messy at this moment in time.

I agree with some of your points. Big Brother Series needs a bit of a cleanup. Big Brother In The Media needs to be completely scrapped - it's nothing that can't be covered in BB in General. I also agree with putting the reality show subforums back into Other Reality TV now they are over, and Sport going back into General Interests (though I don't necessarily think it should be replaced).

There are others I don't agree with, such as merging General Chat and Chat and Games. These two forums have completely different purposes - General Chat is for legitimate discussions which don't fit into any other forum, Chat and Games is for completely off topic chat (Hi, how was your day etc) and obviously games. It's also worth noting that Chat and Games posts dont contribute to your post count, whereas General Chat posts do.

I think Graphics is used an awful lot though, it's one of the most active forums on this site, so I think that putting it on the main page is the correct thing to do. I would say though that there is still quite a fine line between General Chat and Chat and Games because sometimes I'm unsure whether to post a thread in Chat and Games or General Chat. With the post count thing, Mark could decide if all posts in the General Chat and Games section counted, or if none of them did.

Are you saying that my post is **** or are you saying that I'm trying to change something that doesn't need changing?

Basic mini-games would be good. Upto 6 players in a room...

It confused me to begin with, but when you work it out it's simple.

General Chat is for legitimate topics which don't fit into the other forums (e.g. technology, life matters etc) - discussions which have a point.

Chat and Games is for completely pointless threads, generic chat and of course games.

I for one would hate the two forums to be merged - there's a lot of nonsense in Chat and Games that I wouldn't like to see General Chat get mixed up with.

Is there a possibility of a shuffle on the forum James or Mark?

General Chat and Chat & Games are two completely different forums. Lets merge the X Factor and News Stories board whilst we're at it.

Sport is more important than graphics
