Separate Manga sub sections?
- Thread starter Lobolover
- Start date
A lot of new people arrive here and wonder why their favorite author or subject (or whatever it might be) doesn't have it's own sub-forum. The reason is very simple: sub-forums are a way of organizing threads. If there aren't enough threads on a certain author, television program, publication (or any other subject) there's no point in creating a new forum. In fact, it may segregate off any threads there already are so that fewer people see them.
If Brian created sub-forums for everyone who was important enough or serious enough or otherwise deemed worthy enough, there would be so many sub-forums and sub-sub-forums it would be impossible to navigate this place.

As I said:
If you can find enough active threads (5) per subject, genre, or what you will, to warrant dividing them off into sub-sections, then the idea would certainly be taken under consideration.

I did say active threads, lobolover.
The first you mention has had 8 posts in four years.
As for second, no one has posted there since January.
The third, of course, is a new one that you started, and as I write this there have been no responses.
For the fourth, the most recent post was October.
And the fifth has been dormant since August.
Not at all the level of activity that cries out for a sub-forum.
And I don't mean to sound unkind, but you've only been here for three days -- wouldn't it be a good idea for you to wait until you have a better idea of how things actually work around here before you start suggesting changes?

A forum is more than just the software that runs it, lobolover. It's a community, and each one is unique.
New members are of course welcome to make suggestions, but you have to realize that when you have come to know and understand our particular community the suggestions you make will be a lot more feasible.
Meanwhile, people come and go, the community shifts its focus. It might be that at some future date enough interest will evolve naturally that a sub-forum seems appropriate. But one individual can't lobby it into being. Whatever you may have seen happen on other v.bulletin forums, that isn't how it happens here.
You'll spare yourself a lot of frustration by continuing to post in the threads that interest you, starting new ones to see where they go, and waiting to see how things develop.
However, that is entirely up to you.
