Suggest new Off-Topic categories

[Scaredgirl]

Our forum software lists sub-categories in 4 columns. This means that in order to maximize the space we have, the number of sub-categories should be divided by 4.

Today I added a new sub-category called Arcade (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=arcade). But now the number of subcategories is 9, so we can add 3 new categories to get all the columns full. We don't absolutely have to get 3 new categories, but if people have any ideas, please let me know.


So please post your ideas for new Off-Topic sub-categories. Thank you.

Well I looked at off-topic threads to see if there was a kind of topic that could easily be placed in a seperate sub-forum, and like it or not, but goodbye topics seem to fit just that. After all, we already have a sub-section for introduction, would make sense to have one for saying goodbye as well :P

Sports doesn't seem to get a lot of love here unfortunately.
Maybe changing it to Sports and Fitness might give it some incentive to work out for the forum.

This is just brainstorming here, but things that occasionally get brought up are homework help and science topics, perhaps merging maths, science and generic homework help might be useful. Not sure how to categorise it though.

I dislike the idea of a goodbye forum. But maybe...
Also, I was slightly annoyed when a certain topic got deleted, the one with the wigs, despite the fact that it was completely useless. Threads like that perhaps could be put in a locked section for me to personally laugh at. But that's probably taking things way too far.

maybe
-books & comics
-U.F.O. & other mistery
-music & instruments

[killybob]

- current affairs (must be of global importance so everyone has something to say)

- i do like the idea of an educational section where members can ask and answer any question and queries to do with school, collage, and university

- a music section? it could be a link to the providers of pieces and sound bits that are used in the game and the forums. this could come with a section where you can post what good music you find and a place where you can suggest sounds and music that you found for the actual game

music and pop culture

[Tiko]

Music, in general gets my vote.

I like forum games, and because only a few can post in that board (you need pm $$$man), it's kinda...
also, mafia is a very large side game of the community, probably the largest that doesn't use EtG, aside from WoE
I think mafia deserves its own secret sections and whatnot
each player gets his own secret board he can choose to reveal and hide from others
though I think that's a bit too much work, because only SG has the permission for secret forums

"Music" is something that I think everyone will agree on. I was also thinking about adding "Movies and TV" because that is a popular topic too.

So that would leave one spot open. Keep those ideas coming.

How about grouping music, movies and TV together as popular media?

Yes, that is one option.

if you are going to add "Movies and TV" can you move my thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,22395.0.html) over there?
