Why were the Movie and Music boards merged with Sound Off?

Why? I don't get it, why not throw anime in there too?

you think that's really necessary - we can arrange that...

A: done to cut down on forum index clutter :p

Sure

Well said Orochi! :)

Edit: Uh....where did Orochi's reply just go? :confused:

Uh... Really? I just deleted thinking I was being a bit harsh because of the killer headache Ive got going on, so, uh... In summary, I said:

With the way everyone in the community is running around in circles trying to figure out whats wrong, maybe it would be best not to complain about things that, like them or not, have no effect on... Anything.

Edit: Does anyone have a *bleep*ing asprin? Some Aleeve would be even better.

Really? I thought the whole point was to voice your opinion wether the the mods agreed or disagreed and anyways I wasn't complaining just confused as I thought the two boards benifited from higher traffic the way they were.

But putting them on top of Sound Off, which has undeniably higher traffic than either, could draw more attention to them than having them stuck down where only the hArDkOrE!!!11 posters go.

Absolutely...I didn't think it was harsh at all - but the complaining is definitely a bit much lately (not that this was Korian's intent I am sure). Your reply was along the lines of what I wrote in Nick's housecleaning thread. I mean, I know Dolemite (and a few others suggested an announcement), but for every little change that may come up can be likened to one blowing their nose and expecting someone to say bless you 24/7 - it's just not necessary, though it's a courtesy.

Anyways, I thought it would better to put those particular boards there...if people (that's besides Korian, of course) think Anime should be included in Sound Off, we can do that...though I don't want anyone to start feeling inconvenienced or complain that the boards are now meshed together (bahn, i can't see because of the boards at the top...because then I'll be a little annoyed). So the decision falls upon everyone...speak up now! :)

Btw Korian...questions about things regarding the site normally should go in Questions/Feedback, but I can understand you choosing to post it here since it has bee posted in SoundOff!

LOL @ Orochi l33t speak.

Please dont put the anime board in here too.

quack

quack quack

yea, what phoenix said.

UPDATE:

As of this morning, my killer headache IS gone... No thanks you, selfish with your asprin folk.

Well personally, I prefer them on the index page. I know it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but putting them in the sound off forum makes them seem less important, and like they are "sub forums". Also, I now have to change my entire browsing method! damn you all!

I don't really mind though.

I would have rather kept it down to music and movies, now anything related to the subject is going to be bumped off by other usless topics...

:edit oops! they just popped up on the page header, so nevermind. :p

Really my only point was that sometimes new users would put their first threads in the Movie and or Music board and now it may be harder to find. Beleive it or not not everyone posts or checks the Sound Off board. But hey I can live with it.

It doesn't really bother me too much. My only problem is is confuses me a bit. I go to the TNL Main Discussion Center and it looks like there's a new post in Sound Off, but it's only a new post in Cinemania. But oh well, I'm confused half the time anyway so it's nothing new. ;)

Exactly Bbobb. Since the Cinema board got merged with OFF Topic, its harder to track if any of NEW posts been done there.

And can you explain, how is Anime board is diffrent, to deserve to be left on MAIN page, and Cinema and Music have to be merged into Off Topic?

I liked Cinema board to be on its own, but I guess I can get used to new way.

Well I suggested merging some topics in the Housecleaning thread but this wasn't what I had in mind. The point of my suggestion was to merge stuff like Anime/Fanart together since they commonly go hand in hand, while movies/tv/music are one thing also... ah well.
