Entertainment Sub-forum?

[Mumzy]

For me, it's always been frustrating sifting through so many threads in Entertainment just to find threads about videogames. I'm sure other people have a simular problem. I'm suggesting a Sub-forum for every topic. Such as videogames, movies, etc. I think it would make a huge difference in activity in the entertainment forums. Besides, I'm sure most people who play Pokemon also play other videogames. Why not make a special sub-forum, at least, to seperate entertainment. We could still have the main entertainment thread, just sub-forums for the biggest topics. I know sometimes it seems it might be a problem when there are too many sub-forums with little activity which seems like there should be one main forum. But I don't think this will be a problem here. Especially with just a few subs...
We could have;

Tv

Gaming (TCGs and Videogames, maybe hacks.)

Books (Also comics)

and Music.

I think we should at least have these. Plus, Bulba is big on subs anyways, why can't entertainment have subs? But if your going to add, I would suggest one for TCGs. There could be a seperate one for RPGs but I think they should both be combined in gaming.

I'm not a oldie or anything, so I'd like some average members thought on this the most. What do you think?

EDIT: Oh by the way there seems to be a lot of suggestions anymore, so I'll be deleting this when time comes.

As a moderator at the Entertainment, Inc. section, I never saw a really large influx of activity to justify separating each type of entertainment into a specific sub-forum. Sure, there are some active threads for each topic, but are they that used? At most, I think some prefixes might come in handy, but sub-forums would only further divide the activity and maybe even reduce it. It's just that our community is so diverse most fan-related threads end up dieing quickly (with some exceptions, like MLP and Lady Gaga).

Yeah, ghaskan nailed it. It's a good idea, and if there was more activity for any one topic (video games, movies, etc.) than the others, I'd definitely make a sub-forum for it, but past sub-forum attempts haven't gone that well in terms of activity. Dividing these things out just doesn't seem like it would get the activity desired. However, if a lot of people feel it would increase activity, I'd be willing to give it a shot. As is, most of the threads are video game related, but that's really how it's always been. If there's a genuine feeling that separating these out would lead to more discussion in the other areas (books/comics, movies/tv shows, music would likely be the other sub-forums, with Entertainment, Inc. itself serving as a discussion for anything else, such as computing), I'd be willing to try it as an experiment for a time before reevaluating how effective it was (which is basically what we did with the last sub-forum: Gave it a good chance, then folded it back in when it failed to perform).

Another problem with this is when two of these things cross over. A comic book movie, for instance. Or a movie based on a novel series, such as Hunger Games. Or a game series, such as whatever video game movie they're working on now. To me, that's one of the big problems we'd face, and that indecision over where to post it would potentially lead to people NOT posting who otherwise would.

Ok. if previous attemps of making Sub-forums here lead to less activity or simply scattered, Like a lot more activity in music instead of books for exemple, then that may be the case here. In my personal opinion though, as far as entertainment goes, I would like to see at least a couple Sub-forums for Entertainment. :3
Anyways, that's all I would like to add, you can lock this if you want.
