No, we really shouldn't. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 01/09/2009 10:57:16 AM
All Im saying is that we should have a historical fiction message board.

The problem with making too many boards is that there is never enough content generated to fill all of them, and when a board doesn't look like people are interested then people will stop caring about it.

There is a possibility, once the site is running smoothly and we're getting enough content to look like we'll be able to keep this site going, that we'll split the Other Literature and Non-Fiction off to a separate board. But that's only if people use the categories (and Historical Fiction fits in Other Literature) and only if there are enough posts to make it worthwhile.

For now, if you want to discuss Historical Fiction, or any other kind of fiction which isn't Sci-Fi or Fantasy, then use the Other Literature category.

Once premies have been set up you should be able to choose favourite categories, and then you could favourite the Other Literature category so new posts in that are highlighted. All going to plan, of course. ;)

just add HF as a "topic" for new posts, but keep it on this MB. Easy enough right? *NM* imlad - 01/09/2009 06:30:25 PM 430 Views
