I propose a new sub-forum: Movie Posters>Genres

[Chop-Top]

All the threads, both recent and old, relating to similar types of posters can be merged into this new category and this would keep the General Discussion area, well, for discussion!

It would also make this question obsolete:

Why so many stickied threads in General Discussion?   
http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,2155.0.html

Threads that would apply (Mods, I did the hard work for you!):

Mods: I've deleted the threads from this list that have already been moved. The list is showing those threads that still need to be moved to the "Genres" sub-forum. As more threads get moved, I will keep refreshing this list:

I'm done...off to bed I go!

[jayn_j]

Anyone else feeling absolutely overwhelmed by all the posts overnight?

[paul waines]

I think Chop has lost his Top...!!

No agreements with my suggestion? It's a pretty obvious need.

Well, it became obvious after you spammed us

Then my effort wasn't for naught.  

With all the leg work done, it should take the Admin about 15 minutes to move all the threads.

You've got an enthusiastic new member (perhaps guilty of over-exuberance) and you guys are shooting him down?

If no one follows his lead, all his threads will wither and vanish. What's the big deal?

Would you rather it be like some other forums where there is a post every day or two?

If his topics don't interest you, ignore them, or better yet, start some of your own!

Exactamundo. They can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. My request still stands, minus the spoof threads created to mock me. Imbeciles.

Historically these were know as the POST YOUR POSTER thread and generally speaking there was a new one once a week. Think this probably just overwhelmed those that have been around awhile.

There's enough of them now to warrant a new sub-forum. General Discussion should be for discussion purposes, not compiliating. That's just the way I see it.

Create 50 more new threads, that ought to do it

[Simes]

My two penneth worth is that too many sub forums create confusion and no one will know where to find stuff.

Simplicity is the way forward, to my mind.

[wonka]

Woah, some moderating going on up in this joint!?!?

DEAR GOD NO MORE SUB FORUMS.  I GET LOST AS IT IS.

I think this is how most of us feel

#1 too many sub forums means too much work for most of us to surf through. For instance, right now, in movie posters forums, I only look at this forum and FS because I have limited time as do most people. So anything being chatted in a sub forum is lost on me.

#2 I think the forum just isn't prepared for so many subjects as you posted all at one time and it is not the lack of sub-forums but the sudden bombardment of this particular sub forum that has made spagetti out of it.


in other words, it isn't the lack of a sub-forum, but the completely uncontrolled number of new posts - all of some kind of similar variety - that has made all previous threads get lost. I don't think hardly anyone is prepared to start looking for many dozens of images to post in each subject because of other time constraints, which is why to date there were never more than a few threads of this nature, which is manageable for the majority of people who have jobs.

APF is not a democracy, it is a hands-off dictatorship. Thierry and Holiday being the dictators. But they are not Dick-tators, so it works. However, the rest of the members are in a democracy. No one member has more rights than any other and each of us more or less controls ourselves within certain constraints to prevent the forum from descending into anarchy. Carson had tried to shoe-horn the forum into his own presumption of what it should be (along with trying to force himself in as a real dick-tator) and it was forcefully rejected and Carson the crook is no longer part of this forum (at least publicly)

Myself, I do not want more sub-forums created. It will not expand my participation. Indeed, it could wind up having the opposite effect.
I also don't want any single member clogging up the system, which would have the same effect as making more sub-forums

we can keep picture threads alive truthfully only as long as they are manageable. once they get to an uncontrolled level, the group will disintegrate into complete anarchy & result in negatives, not positives.

The way it is now threads get lost.

Yes, my point exactly, so I don't see how adding more of them will make this better.
I'm a huge fan and advocate of keeping the places I need to go to see what others have posted to a minimum.

[Chop-Top]

Well, you have a choice between two evils: organization or less sub-forums. I've made my case, and I think it's pretty clear why.
