It's been brought to our attention that the board has gotten confusing for some folks. People don't seem to know where to post certain topics, etc. For example, people tend to post in the main folder even if it's not related to Online Dating. So... The CMs (the big wigs, the head honchos, the main women) were talking about adding another folder. Vexer and I wanted to know what you guys thought.


Should we add a new folder for newcomers to post anything they want? OR should it be a matter of educating the community what belongs where?


Your input and insight would be greatly appreciated. And if you don't like any of these suggestions, please feel free to share yours!


Thanks in advance from both Vexer and myself...

Hey Kerry,


Didn't we try that once before? Do you mean another folder for dating or relationship issues that aren't OLD? If I remember correctly that was even more confusing, or it was to me;-P

How about the main folder for OLD --- the off topic folder we already have below and maybe the middle folder for regular dating?

How would you guys feel about the second folder being renamed to something more general?

No additional folders!!!

I mean, really, how hard is it to figure out if something is OLD related, or not? If it's the former, it goes in the first folder. If it's not, it goes in the 2nd.

Honestly, I'm only remembering maybe a *handful* of posts among 100s of recent posts that were arguably posted in the wrong folder, so I'm not really clear on what the problem is...

And there are ALWAYS going to be people who post in the wrong folder, no matter HOW many you have!

Shows how much attention I pay to folder titles...I thought the off-topic folder WAS just called "off topic" or something like that!

I would agree that "More than Dating" is confusing...what does that mean, exactly? Call it what it is!

So what would you recommend? "Off Topic"?

Simple and straight to the point, ... say what you mean, mean what you say. I like it!


Ok, let's see what others say...

Having recently been new, I first posted on the "Ask the Dating Doyenne" board (it popped up first on search engine) and was referred to this board in reply. Had no idea there were so many. Not too difficult to find and repost. No biggie. I also like the idea of "Off Topic" subfolder. nuff said?
