Re: fitness subforum

all of spenner's subforum ideas sound nice. if there is a sexuality subforum the moderator better not be someone incredibly awkward about sex

But really there could be more shit in the section with sports and AMA and all that. We should utilize the space because it doesn't clutter the front page or anything.

actually, if you think sports and fitness are the same thing I can't tell which you're extremely ignorant of but it's one of the two and it's extensive

Re: fitness subforum

you're right. the weight of a forum going unused is too much to bear. like, at the moment, the spin it up forum's inactivity is actively preventing me from posting this message. see?

no need to get passive aggressive. It was a legit question. Who would use it? If there's enough people the admins will open it up. D'oy~

The sexuality subforum is the sex thread in the garbage bin. Age issues, content issues. A subforum about questions of sexuality is going to turn pretty awful very quickly.

There is nothing about my post implying sports and fitness are the same thing lmao, they would be separate subforums, I'm just saying that if there's already a sports one in a section with an AMA one too, fitness would fit in there perfectly fine, same with a food one, and something else. Would be a nice use of the space in that section of the forum.

Sexuality doesn't have to be overly lewd and GBin material entirely.

My first post was in a somewhat ironic tone simply because of the gateway of adding one subforum but not another slightly relevelt/on the same level subforum, idk. Either way, the idea has potential. But tbh I was going to edit my post to change sexuality to masturbation subforum so that the irony would be that much more blatant. Take the non-edit post as it is~

Re: fitness subforum

Keep making more chit chat threads if the topic is different enough to warrant it. If for some reason chit chat starts flooding with fitness threads maybe that would show that there should be one.

Just a suggestion.

The problem is that there are so many "burst" popularity threads that rapidly gain attention and then eventually fade, and offspring threads of it are usually made, and by the time all that business is done, the slightly active but nonetheless important threads below it are wiped out into the Page 2 zone, where nobody will be willing to go find it again.

Having important threads from different categories accessible for new viewers of the subforum is necessary, otherwise if the main page is flooded with things that they have little interest in, they probably won't bother digging deeper to find the food thread 5 pages back or something (for example).

I'm not that active on these forums anyhow but this makes sense to me.

Wouldn't have to be. Would anyway.

Re: fitness subforum

It is thread dependent really. A Chit-chat totally open thread for "sexualtiy" in general is bound to end up with... a little bit of everything. Defining a topic that narrows down one aspect of sexuality within a broader sexuality subforum would avoid some of that.

then doesn't that just mean that it's not popular enough to warrant an entire subforum? There are search features for threads that don't get bumped often, and you can also get it stickied.

Don't have to build an entire subforum for one thread plz no bully

Not the case; it's only that there are more accessible/more popular threads that cater to the general demographic of FFR, and the more niche topics like food/fitness/w.e are less in focus if everything is on the same page and are bumped further down. Any thread could be one of those threads which aren't active because they just aren't seen as easily.

And we've already had this discussion for somewhere-- i think in tgb though-- a single thread can not in any way do the same job as a subforum, where there are subtopics related to the one bigger topic (the tgb food thread was a good example of this, everyone's posting stuff that is not always related yet still has to do with food, so it could become quite clusterfucky).

I really don't care either way though this is just my brain processing logic while hungover

hmmm I guess TGB would know that best. They're practically a forum in of themselves but without the subforums. Oh well. Just make a bunch of threads and the admins will be forced to put them somewhere. It's exactly what happened with the last few subforums that got created.

Re: fitness subforum



I actually would be interested in nutrition threads and whatnot. My diet needs to change, but I am not really sure how to stay organized with a good nutritional routine.
