Edit: Upon re-reading, I think you may have been looking for a word summary, so:
1. Regroup all Space and Astronomy sections into a Space and Astronomy forum.
2. Regroup all Mainstream, but non S&A sections into an Off-Topic Babbling forum.
3. Regroup all Against the Mainstream sections into an Against the Mainstream forum.
4. Leave UT and BA sections alone.
5. Arrange the forums in order of the most pertinent and most-used towards the top, and the least-pertinent and least used towards the bottom.
Note: The use of the term "forum" is as per vBulletin's definition. For example, BAUT is an internet message board. General is currently a forum. Within the General forum there are several sections, including About BAUT, Questions and Answers, etc. Each of those sections has many threads; each thread has many posts... |
I just wanted the current list... so my very useful comments aren't wasted. Your proposal and my comments:
About BAUT
Space and Astronomy
--Questions and Answers
This is where it really belongs; I just wonder if folks would find it one level down
--Astrophotography
--Space Exploration
--Astronomical Observing, Equipment and Accessories
--Life in Space
--Small Media at Large
If we keep this to Bad Astronomy - as originally intended - this would be okay; as it is now, no so great here. Maybe OTB and add a sub-fourm to Bad Astronomy?
Off-Topic Babbling
--Original OTB (includes all current OTB threads)
I don't think so. See below.
--Science and Technology
Does this replace General Science, now in S&A? Then calling the main forum OTB might not fit.
--Human Interest
Make this General Interest and put all the OTB threads here.
--Fun-n-Games
--Yarns
Naah, it wouldn't keep yarns out of General Interest.
Universe Today (no change)
Bad Astronomy (no change)
Against the Mainstream
I like this! ATM and CT follow generally the same rules anyway.
--Space and Astronomy
--Science and Technology
Phil and Fraser really wanted to keep ATM astronomy related; this would open it up to evolution and 9/11, to name two.
--Conspiracy Theories
--Unidentified stuff (belongs no where else)
Ditto.
To clarify, how about
:
