It's my impression that there are too many forums. Lately I've been posting in the FOG Chat and also in the Life and the Universe forum. I really prefer to have one favourite forum for my cryptic and biased opinions.

Does anybody have a view on this?

The two new forums, Vice City and the Notable Election, are temporary. They were created to stop the other more popular forums from being spammed. The Notable Election forum will be archived after the election, and brought back before the next election, and so on.

When the Vice City forum dies down a little, it too will be archived, but it's proved to be mega popular so far.

I don't think there are too many forums, just about right in my opinion. In fact, I reckon we should separate Music and Movies/TV, but it's not my decision.

Probably there are too many forums, but I wouldn't want to see the Life forum or either FOG forum...or the movie forum for that matter.

Perhaps you can never have too many forums.

We should delete the WWE forum...

It's just pointless!

(I'm going now before I get too much abuse thrown at me!)

'Tony!'

'Metroid should have its own forum.!'

'Tony!'

'Zelda should have its own forum.!'

'Tony!'

'I should have its own forum.!'

I can see this happening a lot in the future. :\

You should have a Forum where (like the Spam Forum you suggested), people can talk crap all the time.

BUT, and here's the killer:

Your post/word count don't go up if you post in that forum.

Get rid of the GTA vice city and notable ones AFTER the next election. By then Vice city will have dropped in the number of posts about it and can be talked about in the PS1 & PS2 forum.

Get rid of the WWE one and put it in sports. (Or keep it to stop the wrestlers out there from their panic attacks.

Ditch the sega one too.

Keep the others,
Oh an use Darkus's idea with the drop down menus etc.
