Crap monkey! Okay, the question is "Do you think there should be a Celebrity, Culture, and Fashion section and a separate Lifestyle and Health section?" Sorry, too long apparently!
I was talking to Elliot and thought it might be a good idea to reorganize a couple sections, and we were wondering what you guys thought about it. I thought it would make sense to combine the Celebrity, Fashion, and Culture section and then make a separate Lifestyle and Health section. There would still be the same amount of sections as there are now as the Health and Lifestyle one would take the place of the separate Celebrity section.
The Lifestyle and Health section could be used to rant about doctors and illnesses, discuss nutrition and ask advice, have recipe threads, and talk about health related studies, etc.
Elliot and I were wondering not only if you guys thought this was a good idea, but also if you'd actually post in either section. I know it might not interest all of you, but I'm sure everyone has some questions when it comes to their health or a wish to rant about the things they're having to deal with. I'm going to start a couple of threads like that in the fashion, culture, and lifestyle section, so please post in them if you're interested! Need to show there is some interest.
Thaaanks!

No I don't like that  I'm the moderator of the Culture, Lifestyle and Fashion section and I totally don't care about the Celebrity section and don't want to be the mod of it.. I rather suggest throwing the Culture & Lifestyle section together and making a seperate Fashion and Health section, simply because I would think it attracts more people like this and "health" would be inviting for skin & haircare aswell this way. But basically, I don't like the idea of Culture and Celebrity together, for I personally find celebrity talk tiresome and useless... and I also don't like that fashion is linked to celebrity, that's just so Chris Crocker if you know what I mean. So I voted No. |

I'd certanly like a "Lifestyle and Health" section. I don't give a damn about the other section though.'
I haven't voted btw, since I'm not comfortable with voting for two things at once unless I like both. Looks too much like cow trading for my liking. Apart from that you lack an "I don't care" option.

Actually, I wouldn't mind but... why not uhh just have Lifestyle and Health, and then Fashion and Celebrities? *just thought about it* Lumping everything together sounds a bit confusing. ;P 'Cos what does Fashion have to do with Health?
Edit: I don't think I'm too coherent. Please ignore this.

I have to say, I agree with Kitty here.
So if the changes are there, i will post. And therefore I didn't vote either ;D

No - I like the separation as it is currently.

Here's the thing about a Celebrities section: 99% of celebs are actors, musicians, comedians, politicians, writers, artists, scientists - and we already have sections where we can talk about each of those things.
Anyway, I voted yes. Lifestyle and Health make sense together because they are more centered the individual while Celebrity, Culture and Fashion include the wider public world - though I might just leave things like they are and just toss out the Celebrity part altogether.

Oh, effing hell... I mulled over this till I thought me brains were gonna break, so I thought "yes". Might as well give a shot and then deal with it as it comes.

Splitting subjects like that makes sense in theory, but I don't think it does for the activity level that there is. Unless there's a wide interest and a section really gets crowded, getting too specific in topics tends to end up with sections that have very little if any activity. Health topics have their place pretty much all around; they can fit in several sections already depending on the angle that's approached (general, science & tech, natural world, lifestyle, humanology...), and that flexibility isn't bad.
I like food and recepies to be merged with culture and lifestyle, too, because it's very closely related. There has been a board about food and recipes before that was closed for lack of activity; if there are still of those threads in the archive, it would be a good idea to resurrect move them there though while there's interest.

This is what I think would work best as well, because I'm with Kitty and have no interest in celebrity talk what so ever. Plus, that section is fairly dead most of the time. Elliot wishes to keep it in some form, he can explain if he wants to? I still think it would be a bit weird to combine health and fashion though, ehh. |

Logic on that one was quite simple: gossiping about celebs is a major pastime just about everywhere... except for here, of course! You lot WOULD be the exceptions! ;D The idea is that the forum will hopefully grow and as it does so many of the sections that are little used now will become more used. All are of major interest to the world at large, after all, and planning for the future growth of the site never hurts The reason I see no current need to change the layout is because I see clear links between Fashion, Culture and Lifestyle as all impact upon each other significantly. Many aspects of health could happily be included without the need for any change and the rest are either pure science, so belong in Science & Tech, anyway, or are psychological in which case their natural home is Humanology. I just see it as being a non-issue currently. Sorry, Zee. If the rest of the board overwhelmingly thinks I'm wrong, fine. I'm always happy to change stuff if it means people will use the forum more. But if not... (And I'm not voting myself - at least not yet! ;D - coz I want to know what you lot think. I know what I think already! ;D) |

@ Zee: It makes perfect sense, so why not? @ EK: Well, ultimately the decision is yours...  |

I see a politician in Elliot sometimes. And it makes me sad.
Anywhoddles. I voted yes, mainly because the change makes sense, if someone has joined the board, who wants to be actuve in certain areas that have not been as active previously, and are also motivating others on the board to become more active, then surely the board should be altered in such a way that would help increase the activity. Or in less words ''get with the times''
I like both Kitty's and Ash's suggestions, either way, I believe a re-order in in order [see what I did there?]

Let's just say that having to weigh up and balance opinions so as to keep everyone fairly happy is a major part of the job, shall we? |

Haha okay I see your point. ^^ But do look at politicians, they're typically...er je ne sais quoi. Nothing I say in this situation will put Elliot in a good light. 'Cept for the fact I'm sure he didn't claim expenses on his moat this year : D Not that I mean to be rude or unkind about the boss. >.< |

We could also just add Health to the section title of Culture, Fashion, & Lifestyle, which would require no reorganization whatsoever. So it would be Culture, Fashion, Lifestyle, & Health. Since you're the mod for that section, how does that sound, Kitty?
That way Elliot can keep his celebrity section!
