too many topics

[olympus mon]

So a good question was asked tonight in chat. There isn't an all substance trip report section. there are 2 dmt trip reports sections, one for new members and one for full members . Why not have an any substance section for trip reports and the OP can put what the substance or often times substances in the title. Normally in the past I would write my trip report in the topic room of the substance I was tripping on if it wasn't dmt but when the report was from 2 or more psychs Id have to choose.

I have felt that the amount of topics are a bit much. It takes forever to scroll down to current discussions as well as figure out the appropriate place to start a thread sometimes.

I think we could do some spring cleaning and combine some rooms. Even some of the category's could be made into one room and would be just as user friendly IMO.

I dunno...just a thought but I think less is more in this matter. Anyone else feel there are too many topics in the forums? If this idea is shared by others id be happy to make a list of rooms that could be combined or even rooms that could be removed.

Mayan wonders for example should just be in the traveling section...ext.

Cheers

There are so many questions being asked everyday and the "for faqs sake" thread is proof they need they're very own sub forum.

Just to point out...those questions get asked all over the boards (including first steps in hyperspace, collaborative research, etc.). I'm not opposed to organizing along the lines mentioned (and appreciate much of the steps already taken in that direction), but I will point out that many people post wherever they feel like, regardless of how many sections and subdivisions you create

I agree, and was going to point that out as a neg to the whole idea. Although I think if the name of the sub forum for which I speak actually had the word "question" in its name, it would stand out more. It's really a long shot. I don't understand why people find it so hard to ask questions in the appropriate section.

It makes sense to me that it would be the wording that could throw people off. The name of each sub forum is basically te description to its contents. It's extremely important that we use the best words possible to cater to such a large audience. Descriptions aren't always taken in the exact same way. Now this isn't fool proof by any means, but it's the best we can do. They also contain a description of a few sentences I know, but most people don't read it or easily skip over it when not familiar with the forum.

Mostly though, "for faqs sake" is already a section. It's already there. Why not make it into its own sub forum anyways. Eventually that thing will be so big it would be impossible for anyone to read through front to back hehe. I can't think of anything that would fail safe that people post accordin to what section properly, unless there was a main "post topic" button that then had several choices that you could choose by clicking a radio button and that would ultimately decide where to put the thread based on your choice. But this would be a lot of extra work and might not function very good.
