Every time I come to this page, which is getting less frequent because of the general clusterfuck that is life, I look at the page and see a shitload of new threads.
To catch up on old ones, I gotta scroll to the bottom. Eventually… I get sort of lost. Does everyone else find this?
I was thinking, maybe have a bunch of different sections;
one for general news/trivia/science, ministry/music related discussion, music self promotion, sports, and maybe even one where people just ask for help with information on something (there’s been a couple of threads like that where people needed to know something and prongers helped out, like when special ed wanted to know about iran, or i needed to know about changing synth batteries).
The way it is at the moment is fine by me but maybe make a separate section for people’s own music. So that would be 3 sections: general discussion, merchandise, prongers music.
I think the varied nature of the threads is alright because it can be entertaining. The more ordered it is the more boring it might become.
It was kinda like that before and people ignored the other sections and just posted on the main discusssion page anyway. So yeah sorry dude I’m against it too.

That’s what I’ve found - that eventually people post in the main discussion. It’s too confusing at times. I mean what do others think - it’s up to you guys?
Aye, I see everyone’s point. 'Twas just a suggestion. Personally, I like seperate sections. My math-brain likes everything neatly compartmentalised. I’m also a crashing bore!
So as I sit here typing… I shall concede defeat with a deep sigh, another sip of lukewarm coffee and feel comfortable in the knowledge it was another 5 minutes procrastinated from my politics assignment [:)]
I kinda like this idea! i could be the moderator of this section. I would rule with an iron fist there would be no slash blasphemy and the pentatonic scales would the sound of the lord! [:)]

Evildildo, I suggested your idea, or something very similar to it a few years ago and got a pretty unanimous “NO, keep it the way it is” feedback. And while at times prongs can seem very jumbled and disorganized I’ve come to appreciate the way it’s set up. Of course we should always keep the commercial from the general discussion, but there are so many things in the general discussion I would have missed out on had threads been segregated by topic.
But maybe we could have a sub-board for prongs members who want to promote their music or other very specialized particular subjects, but I’ve come to like the minor chaos of the way it’s set up now, because overall were still a very small group and the status quo seems appropriate to our size and diversity.
