After seeing some words in a previous idea thread, here is an idea I would like to propose.
Which boards, do you guys think we should "get rid of"?
To me, I honestly feel that the NASCAR and Other Sports boards are completely unnecessary. The other sports one because no one really uses it, while the NASCAR one because only the same 2-3 people post in it. In addition, I think these areas derrive too far away from the main point of this forum, "101 Dalmatians."
Fee free to agree, disagree, post your views. I will NOT delete anything right away, depending on how most of you feel (agree or disagree about these deletions) I will then discuss it with the admins for their approval.
However I will NOT tolerate any whining, flaming, bashing, etc. in this thread. So if you do this, your post will be deleted w/o warning.

I agree. I mean, NASCAR? What does it have to do with dalmatians? :/

Nothing at all =/
Though if some people insist on it not going anywhere, we could just combine the two boards into one. Just call it Sports.

Still, it is annoying to come online and find "MR (insert name of person who drives a NASCAR car here) crashed and blah blah blah" In a DALMATINAS forum. There must be a NASCAR forum somewhere, so go find it if you want to talk about it. That's my honest opinion.

I agree that we need more "101 Dalmatians" Discussion on here.
However, I am not sure what threads to delete (or at least put in the Archive). With Television & Movies section, some interesting discussion does come in there, like discussing the Rewards and stuff like that.
I do question "Other Fan Characters" as that section is somewhat asking for outside shows to take center stage.
I think Sports and Nascar should be made into one section and maybe "For Giggles" should be a Subsection to Misc.
Maybe put Anime as a Sub for TV as well.
Not sure what to delete or archive though.
What you think on those suggestions?

This one's a good idea.
"I do question "Other Fan Characters" as that section is somewhat asking for outside shows to take center stage."
I don't think there's anything wrong with this one. Whenever people have posted in it, the other shows don't get too much attention considering we all have a big variety of other show interests.
And I already suggested that either the spots be one section, or deleted. Otherwise I think everything else is ok the way it is.

I do kind of agree on the whole NASCAR issue. I mean, if those guys want to talk about it, then why don't they just go to a NASCAR forum? I'm sure there exist plenty of them out there.

I say, put Nascar as a Subsection for Sports. I don't think deleting should be used either, Archive is better for those whom still wish to look at them. Like Nemo's old expression thread. ^^;
Of course, What does Race think? It's mainly his section, would he be okay with Subbing it or Archiving it?

ILike Nemo's old expression thread. ^^; Bab... deleting that was my choice, not yours or anyone elses =/ so stop complaining about it and bringing it up, please. Plus, it's more logical to go by a "majority vote/opinion", it's just ridiculous to go by one person's opinion.

Ehem, excuse me, but why can he have HIS section and I can't have mine? I mean, if only he uses it, then I could make a pokemon section that no one else uses and be fine with it since you can't delete it without my approval. Have an example of what you are approving of right there.

I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or as an insult, but thanks XD Anyways, I vote for the NASCAR section to be removed. And if that doesn't happen, I claim my rights to have a pokemon board and Belchic's rights to have a MLP board, because we are supposed to be all equals :/

Equal rights sounds good.

"Ehem, excuse me, but why can he have HIS section and I can't have mine? I mean, if only he uses it, then I could make a pokemon section that no one else uses and be fine with it since you can't delete it without my approval." I'm sorry your board section ideas weren't adopted but that's no reason to b*tch about the status quo or try to paint me as a bad guy (What the heck did I ever do to you before now?). I know you're only like 13 but this is the internet and if you want to post here you shouldn't make blanket statements like that without knowing the facts behind them. There is a reason we have that NASCAR section and that is because when we didn't people complained about threads related to that in the General discussion section. I AM NOT OUR ONLY NASCAR FAN AND THAT IS NOT MY PERSONAL SECTION! We have roughly maybe 40 active members but of those at least five are rather big NASCAR fans (Sparky, Boeing, Puffy, Slayer and myself), a higher percent than you'd think. Ever look at Puffy's YouTube for instance, about a third of his videos are NASCAR-related... www.youtube.com/user/Crocfan20/videosThat's not even a very active part of the board. There's enough life in it to justify it but not enough that it's a hassle or clogging the board. Not to mention that section is rather self contained and while opinions in it differ it doesn't cause drama like other sections of the board (Express yourself, the RPs when people take them too serious). "Still, it is annoying to come online and find "MR (insert name of person who drives a NASCAR car here) crashed and blah blah blah" In a DALMATINAS forum." There's been exactly ONE post about that made all year with only two quick updates before it died and was buried. If you don't like it don't use it like everyone else. I find it annoying to see all these posts about people's personal issues in the "Express Yourself" section on this forum but that's not going anywhere. Get the facts before you run your mouth. Whining about something without the facts, like making four posts complaining about this in the same thread in a 24-hour period, accomplishes nothing but making you look immature. As for other cleanup perhaps we should just merge the NASCAR section and the sports section and call the resulting one "NASCAR and Other Sports" or just sports with NASCAR mentioned in the description because it's probably the only one that actually is going to get talked about either way. The other sports section was a great idea but it never caught on sadly. "For giggles" might be better served as a section in the Links area since most of what is there is just links to other sites. "Other Fan Characters" and "Original Characters" are two sections I think we could do without, right up Nemo's alley of deviating far from 101, but I don't know if I'd scrap them as Cuddly is very passionate about the second with his ongoing Hell Lightning adventures and those do have followers. Personally I don't really see any issue with the board right now and if I were running it wouldn't change a thing.

@nemo- I suggest an admin makes space for the MLP board as well, then. Because is five people can have a NASCAR board, then ten people should have a MLP board. Belchic- You were completely and utterly right. He just yelled back and threw insults at me
