Keeping the ideas flowing, we're open to all thoughts on the site as we approach the migration. What about forum structure and how the site is laid out? My point being, for n00bs & lurkers as well as Blers....does the current forum arrangement make sense? Should forums be merged, killed, moved around?
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.....yes, I know there are a few threads in SUPPORT already which raise questions on merging or splitting certain forums, and those discussions aren't dead and buried...they'd be part of this consideration as well. But let's break this down into bite sized pieces to we aren't all over the place in this thread, shall we? Let's go top down, if that's alright with you, and we'll eventually get to discussing all the possible re-alignments.
I don't expect a lot of discussion, but we owe a moment of consideration for the topmost forums and groupings:
Bluelight Feedback
- (Hidden Staff Forums)
- Announcements
- Support
Bluelight Basics
- New Member Introductions
- Homeless Threads
- Anonymous Posting
- Testing Grounds
Pillreports.com
- Pill Testing Q&A
- Pillreports.com
- Pillreports Discussion
- Pillreports Staff Discussion
To prevent clutter on this subject and the coming flood of responses, I'll kick out a seperate thread for this discussion. Later, if some consensus is reached, we'll be more than happy to put a poll atop the threads to help gauge actual member interest in our options going forward, but for now let's generate ideas and discussion.
For discussion of the forum arrangments for FEEDBACK-BASICS-PILLREPORTS, please go to this thread:
I'll come back in a week or two and start a thread on the next groupings, so don't worry, you'll get a chance to voice your thoughts on every aspect of the site. Afterall, we're here for the members, and we wish to make sure that any changes we make keep the needs of our members in mind.

I suppose, a 'bigger picture' question in line with some of the stuff you guys have already raised would be if you see general improvements that could be made in regards to site structure. Does our current setup make sense or do you have suggestions to improve it. For example, BLUA isn't exactly at your fingertips, and despite numerous efforts to get people to read the G'Guide the don't...so can we improve those somehow? Are there other things that are hard to find or do?
