mat,

there is much less of a problem with posts/threads being buried than the vocal whiners would have you believe.

Mat's point about the politics forum is dispositive to your statement above.

Actually, any high-volume forum will have good posts buried as a matter of course.

In OOT's case, I wouldn't call it darwinism so much as survival of the fartest.

Mat,

I see OOT currently as something like this:

Arts & Entertainment
Food/Drink/Restaurants/Bars
Relationships/Love Advice
Style/Clothing/Fashion
Hot Girls/nsfw/etc
Jokes/Web links/Video clips/Funny stuff
Education/Career/Business
Other

If I were you, I'd probably break this up into two forums, something like:

Arts & Entertainment
Food/Drink/Restaurants/Bars
Style/Clothing/Fashion
Education/Career/Business

Relationships/Love Advice

Hot Girls/nsfw/etc
Jokes/Web links/Video clips/Funny stuff
Other

I suspect there's a big overlap between stuff that most OOT users would not care about being removed from OOT and the stuff that some non-OOT users don't care to wade through in OOT. I think a good case could be made for putting the Relationships/Love Advice stuff in either forum.

actually, i think the problem of stuff getting buried extends beyond A&E and into other useful threads.

bobby,

Apology accepted. However, there's a big difference between a guy saying:

"You should stock pineapple juice, it will be awesome."

and a guy saying

"You should stock pineapple juice, because it only costs $1/can and this neighborhood is 45% pirates who love pineapple rum drinks and they all pay $5/can at the pirate store for pineapple juice since that's the only place they can get it around here."

Instead of making assumptions, how about you read the posts I have made and comment on the reasoning I have explained in detail based on my experience with online businesses.

pryor,

"actually, i think the problem of stuff getting buried extends beyond A&E and into other useful threads."

I agree.

This makes sense to me...

What would you call the 3 forums though?

Since when are you expert on pineapple juice and pirates?
