Blog feedback?

[The_Infidel]

Is it possible to create a separate forum or subforum for the blog feedback stuff? It appears to be taking up a lot of space, and is bumping a lot of threads into oblivion. Almost half of the threads showing on page one are blog feedback threads.

Inf, I'm inclined to disagree here. The strength of the blogs that are being commented on is such that their inclusion in the main forum makes sense (the blogs themselves are a huge selling point and allowing people to comment on them in the main forum seems a good idea; much like the upcoming ability to comment on the reviews in the review forum, a feature we had at the old website). A number of people have commented that there are too many forums and sub-forums at this time so maybe if the responses get really popular, splitting them off would be a good idea in the future though.

As far as other threads getting buried or bumped, that's a function of what people find interesting to discuss. The forums aren't exactly hopping with activity but this is true on a lot of websites I lurk at or post in; a function of the holidays from what I'm told. Still, I appreciate the input (as always) and will let the editors/admins decide what works best. Thanks!

I have to go with Infidel on this one,i'm tired of looking over 10-15 'blog feedback' titles to find a regular post in Adult Talk.I'm not really interested in these articles,and i think a separate forum would be better.Maybe one of the other subcategories could be rolled together or eliminated.

Eh... agree the Blog Feedback threads are kinda annoying...... First as a thread in their selves they don't usually inspire postings... 90% seem to be "I totally agree with what you wrote" type posts. And unless you go read the blog yourself it's totally pointless. I know that there are frequent links to articles in normal posts, but at least people usually summarize what the link is about. But I don't read blogs normally, if something is worth posting it would be posted on the appropriate forum for discussion.... I don't want to go clicking and reading all these blogs to find out what the replier thought was interesting.

FWIW, I agree. I think a sub-forum would be a good idea.
