Mods - Book Forum

[ESOG]

To the mods and those who may agree with this, can we have a book forum?

[al1991]

I would think that was a good idea myself.

It has been suggested many times.

I think the answer will be "good idea, we'll do it sometime, but not right now."

Get one in there it could be quite informative

I dont see how hard it possibly be to create it, or is it?

By the way, I have seen your screen name often and I just got it.

So...Mods... Anyway you can get this suggestion to the necessary people in charge?

The main difficulty in creating new forums is not a technical one, but a traffic one.

If a new forum is created before there is enough chat about it's topic, then it stifles discussion rather than encouraging it.

A book forum is a nice idea though, so we'll keep an eye on the amount of literary threads appearing and when we think there are enough we'll split them off into a new forum.

It could join in with TV, Films etc?

I find it odd that when TV & Music were merged so many posters complained. A lot of newspapers merge their TV & films, music & books and some of the 'compacts'/broadsheets have theatre & shows in that subsection too. All of those subjects are closely linked and would all fit under an "Eyes & Ears" forum.

It's because the Music and TV forums are big enough on their own, when they were put together it buried some of the threads you would see when they're separate.

Music is a separate forum?

I think I said in the last thread that a "Theatre, Literature and The Arts" forum would probably be big enough to survive.

I don't think a merge would work.
