Separate sections for each book

Postby Broccoli » Wednesday 19 November 2003 10:30:17am

Maybe it is sensible to have them? The current Books section is already 4 pages long and as the forum grows it may become messy. Moreover, those who haven't read some of the books yet, still can discuss the other ones without getting spoiled... It doesn't mean that the Characters and Theories sections should be "reformed" this way as well, but as the books are actually the main subject of discussion, maybe we could reorganise the existing section... What do you think?

I've seen this done on other forums... but the trouble is that the sections for the earlier books hardly get anything in them.

It's could be a good idea for those who haven't read all the books but one of the things that has put me off doing this is that there's can be a lot of cross-over in discussions. I'd be interested to know whether people thing this sould be done though, as it's been something I've thought about myself a few times but not done because of the cross-over thing.

Problem is, are there many people who have only read a few or one of the books? I can't think of any.

I just thought this could bring some more order to the existing section, we don't necessary need to strictly stick to this or that book in our discussions...

Nuh, I thinks its good this way.... I also though of 5 different sections and such but..... All of the "past pages" - they are no longer read by people. Just like Gower said - the sections with past books will be completely empty. I mean thats how it was before book 5!

I like the idea, but as others said, I'm afraid that if we did have them, then people would just be posting in the later sections. Also, all we need to do is set aside a time to tidy up the Books forum. Most of the posts made there are off-topic posts anyway- I just need to find a time to comb through everything :o .
