Suggestions for new categories

I have been thinking about adding more to the site, as the title suggests.

Are there any you think are good ideas?

Gelzo · 2011-09-18 22:41:40

Media, IJBM/IJAM, Debate, Meatspace, Wonerposts, and Pony.

Anonus · 2011-09-18 22:43:12

I had considered Media. I'm not sure about the others.

thespacephantom · 2011-09-18 22:51:11

Seconding Media.

Vriska · 2011-09-18 23:04:34

Yeah, Media would 8e good.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-09-18 23:21:57

No, it would not eighty good.

Manly McMacho · 2011-09-18 23:39:22

Fourthing media.

Anonus · 2011-09-18 23:42:05

You have a shiny new category now!

If it ever gets big enough, it will be split into more!

Princess Alice · 2011-09-19 00:29:38

...What about a sorta "general discussion"-type category?

Like General but with less shitposting.

(I don't know how good an idea this is)

Anonus · 2011-09-19 00:32:24

I was thinking that too. General would remain as-is, to avoid throwing things off too much.

Princess Alice · 2011-09-19 00:36:43

Now...what to call it?

Anonus · 2011-09-19 00:37:55

"Chatter", most likely.

Tanya · 2011-09-19 02:08:55

How about a >Debate topic?

That way, if people have earnest questions, they can talk about them there.

Anonus · 2011-09-19 02:11:37

I'm not sure about that. It would need extra moderation, I know that.

Tanya · 2011-09-19 02:14:09

Oh, something needing extra moderation :3

Well, I mean honestly, I was asking that in terms of your guys knowledge about road signs, like, lets say I wanted to ask questions about it?

Anonus · 2011-09-19 02:16:01

Just make a thread in General about it or something. The category has no set theme.

Haven · 2011-09-19 02:28:49

"Anorak", perhaps?

(Also, I don't think there needs to be a wonderpost category; it feels like it would be analogous to IJBM having a "complaints" category.)

Anonus · 2011-09-19 02:30:27

I know it's weird coming from me, but I don't think there's enough demand for that.

Haven · 2011-09-19 02:35:04

That's probably true. Mostly it just seems like it'd be a fun category name.

Princess Alice · 2011-09-19 02:36:11

I pretty much had the same thought. Neat category name, but not a lot of use for it.

Manly McMacho · 2011-09-19 02:50:12

I think anorak would be a cool topic, actually. Everyone could just talk about weird things they're obsessed with that they might not feel comfortable talking about else where.

Anonus · 2011-09-23 23:10:23

I have some ideas:

Liveblogs: Read the name.
Meta: Like Administrivia, but members can make threads in it. Threads that become crucial would be likely to be announced.

Princess Alice · 2011-09-23 23:12:39

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but...would anyone actually do liveblogs here?

thespacephantom · 2011-09-23 23:20:32

I do the liveblog thing sometimes.

PlutoniumFist · 2011-09-23 23:34:27

I think Anorak and Liveblogs could go together.

Viani · 2011-09-27 18:53:06

Short liveblogs.

Anonus · 2011-09-28 23:28:55

I'm considering the "serious version of General" idea. It lacks a name, though.

Princess Alice · 2011-09-28 23:33:54

You could call it "General" and rename the existing "General" to "Trash Heap" or something...

Manly McMacho · 2011-09-28 23:34:28

SRS BUSINESS.

If you can put it in impact, that'd be awesome.

Viani · 2011-09-29 00:01:07

For topics that shittery wondershowzen and laid-backness isn't needed, for like, important topics?

Anonus · 2011-09-29 00:12:22

A category that would be best for topics weighing on your mind, yes.

Princess Alice · 2011-10-13 02:18:52

For the "serious version of General" idea...why not just call it "Talk"? Keep it simple, you know.

Anonus · 2011-10-13 21:38:02

Here it is.

Princess Alice · 2011-10-13 21:38:39

Yay!

Anonus · 2011-10-24 01:22:22

I added a Liveblogs category, out of nowhere.

Anonus · 2011-12-03 00:16:11

Well this has been inactive for a while, so it gets unannounced.

Anonus · 2012-05-07 04:22:06

How would you like a new category with a name like "Artistic Pursuits"?

Tachyon · 2012-05-07 04:42:49

That would be cool.

Anonus · 2012-05-07 04:56:32

OK, that's done.

The Media category has also been renamed "General Media" and been moved into a parent category named "Media", with Artistic Pursuits.

Tachyon · 2012-05-07 04:59:58

Sweet.

Anonus · 2014-06-21 21:49:44

Bump to avoid re-archiving
