Changes to be made today.

[Garlick]

Morning all

Some good comments have been posted recently about the forum split and they raise some good points. As a result of this we'll make a few changes this morning and will re- order the forums as follows. We will also condense the overall number of forums to make them easier to use.

Thanks to those of you who have made useful suggestions

All new P&P sub forums will be listed alphabetically.

The Pie & Piston archive will also move alongside 'The Lounge' for ease of use.

We will merge News and Politics to create News, Politics and Economics

We will merge music with TV and Films to create TV, Films and Music

Jobs will become Jobs and Employment Matters

Air, Sea & Land will combine with Boats, boats, boats to become Boats, Planes and Trains

Homes, Gardens & DIY will become Homes, Property & Finance

Changes should be live very soon.....

That looks like a good plan, It'll make it easier to know where to post stuff.

I expect everyone will be happy with the changes.

[Zod]

Thanks. Definitely an improvement.

And can you split Sports up into 'Football' and 'other Sports'

I quite like being able to ignore some topics.

[Jagdpanther]

Could you change football into "playing with balls"

[plasticpig]

I can still see the possibility for confusion:

Economics:

"The management of private or domestic finances"

or

"The branch of knowledge (now regarded as one of the social sciences) that deals with the production, distribution, consumption, and transfer of wealth; the application of this discipline to a particular sphere; (also) the condition of a state, etc., as regards material prosperity; the financial considerations attaching to a particular activity, commodity, etc"

Finance:

"The management of money, esp. public money; the science which concerns itself with the levying and application of revenue in a state, corporation, etc"

or

"The pecuniary resources, a. primarily, of a sovereign or state; b. transf. of a company or an individual"

Any plans for a "Grammar and Spelling Pedantry" forum?

We were going to, but nobody could agree on whether or not it needed a comma so we left it.

[SJobson]

Boats, Planes and Trains doesn't scan as well as Planes, Boats and Trains. Or Trains, Boats and Planes.

[bishbash]

Seems like a sensible solution to me.

[va1o]

Sounds good, its better than nothing, but I still think just going back to the told P&P format would be better. Thanks anyway.

EDIT: How about merging Jobs & Employment Matters with Business?

I vote change it to 'Boats, Trains and Planes' then we could give it the catchy acronym 'BTaP'

I agree with this one! Surely football deserves a forum of its own for me to ignore?

[Landlord]

I have to say I am angry, upset and fearful of the future of PH following these proposed changes.

Since so many people moan like fk about "What car" threads, is it worth having a topic of their own?

+1 I think I agree with the above point, didn't really bother to read it thoroughly though.
