The merging of forums

Well, this forum was created when SSC got the Indiana Jones license. The outpouring of 1/6 figures and dynamic statues didn't exactly happen.

Can anyone think of any reason why this forum shouldn't be merged back into General? (Split into the respective categories of course.)

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Can you merge it with Disney? I feel that Disney would be a better fit as they own the franchise and it would be easier to find then the General folder...

Until the General Collectibles sub-forum is re-organized/segmented, I don't think anything should be merged into that sub-forum, it's already got too much stuff in it as it is.

We need a General Chat forum for all the threads like "DX15, what's it going to be?" "How many figures do you own?" and all this other stuff.

We need a 1/6 Forum for all the actual product threads, and an "everything else" forum the series threads like MOTUC, Figurarts, Breaking Bad, etc.

Move the Indy Customizations, Trevor Grove Firefly heads, Save the Planet of the Apes thread into the Customs forum.

Keep it as is.

It should never have been made. Merge it with Disney, not General.

I vote keep it. It's still active enough on it's own.

Keep it as is. please

***-is is my vote!

I was against it back in the days. Now you realise. Kill it.

People who object - are you afraid that threads will be too hard to find in General?

Merge it.....

Merge them all...

I don't want it in general. That section is too congested with hodgepodge threads as it is. If you are going to merge it, put it with Disney.

Disney is getting the same question

Too hard to find and too filled with 1:6 figures! I stand by my Disney comment.

I hate to admit it, but the line is pretty much dead. .

But I agree that Indy stuff will be too hard to find in the general section. I think the general section will need to be sub-divided to smaller sections, like it has been suggested.

Just so I'm clear in my own head. What are the benefits of merging the threads? Is it a memory or site performance thing or is it merely an archiving exercise?

I don't see the benefits of merging. I mostly visit the indiana jones and star wars section because these are my main interests. These are easy to find. If it is merged into a main thread finding it will require a lot of searching and reading all the threads before I find anything I like. I vote for leaving as it is. Here we Indy fans come together

Best,

Robert

I also like the idea of a dedicated Indy area… Don't want to wade through a bunch of other stuff to find Indy...

I can emphasize with users frequently visiting the Indy and Disney threads. But what about putting those in general with subboards? Put these two in there, anime, whedonville (don't hate me now!) or even make a split between general involving collectibles and threads that don't.
