There is something that has been bugging me for a really long time now

Now as some may know, the puberty forum is the most visited forum on here, now we have other great forums on here, there must be somethign we as the VT community could do to make these newer members explore the other forums and stay.

So what do you guys think? any ideas?

Don't put the Puberty forum at the top of the General Discussion lists

Agreed... Maybe new order:

Introductions
The White Padded Room
Tech Junky's Paradise
Debate
Creative Writing
Puberty For the Mentall Ill
The 4th Wall

Maybe something different? We might be adding a new forum into the General Discussions as well, so maybe we should wait before developing a set order :?

i like the idea of moving them about a little, like moving puberty down a few places although i wouldn't put it too far down, somewhere in the middle where Introductions is at the mo.

I agree with Kiros' order. Because Introductions is the first thing you should do. Even if people come here for Puberty. than they will have to scroll through the page to get to it. Then another forum will catch their eye.

I think it should be moved around, because I have to admit, a lot of people who come here are just here for puberty. I'd bet less than half stay for the whole experience. I know I first came for puberty. Kiros's idea sounds good to me.

Thanks guys, but it's really not my idea in the first place. I was just giving an example of what could be done. It was Dante's and Bobby's idea...

And in the order I gave, I forgot about the Relationships forum...
Eh, I'm having an off week :? . . .

Umm honestly, I think it should go away all together, but yeah...don't want to get into that.

And Kiros, I like that order, maybe have Relationships under the Creative Writing, before Puberty?

But I don't know, sorry.

Wow that sounds like a fun idea! But I don't think that would be very good :|
I also don't like introductions being the first one, and puberty seems great at the top. But when I first came to VT (lurking O_o) I always thought it was a site for puberty :P :P

But then I started reading around, and found it was a great community. Personally, I would like to see the White Padded Room at the top most of all. Then Debate. That sounds fun :D and I'd like to see a little change.

Eh but that's just what this lil ol' guy thinks :cowboy:

Well this site is a Psychiatric Ward hence "Virtual Teen - The The Psychiatric Ward" so shouldnt that be at the top? The forums are most relevant to the site purpose?

I don't like that idea, plus those are the ones that get posted in the least. But you are right.

I think puberty should remain on top. Reorder the rest would be nice.

Is there a reason why? Just out of curiosity.

well if puberty remains at the top then this whole thread become moot.

Ok we can change it and see what happens. If it doesn't work we will change it back.

I forgot to say we need the new order the forums will be in.

Kiros

Ok, how about this:

(1) Introductions
(2) The VT Daily Cronicle
(3) The White Padded Room
(4) Tech Junky's Paradise
(5) Creative Writing
(6) Puberty For the Mentall Ill
(7) Debate
(8) Relationships
(9) The 4th Wall

The way I look at it, Introductions is the first thing that we should have. Everyone should be able to get to know people there and let people know them. Since there are (on average from the past week) 3-5 newcomers everyday, I figure new posts will show up daily.
Next, The VT Daily Cronicle will keep everyone current about outside information and discussion, so it should go second.
Then The White Padded Room comes third, as it's basically a high-traffic forum as is and everyone needs to vent once in a while.
Forth, Tech Junky's Paradise will stand as it's a pretty popular forum and everyone uses a computer and internet to get on this site =P
Fifth, Creative Writing should go because it's works can inspire everyone and it should go between a couple popular forums so it can get more attention.
Next, the big one: Puberty For the Mentally Ill. Being in the middle of everything, I think this will still get loads of attention both from new members and 'veterans' alike, but in this position, new comers will actually have to read a few forum names (and might become interested in them) before they reach this forum.
Debate... well... Not much to be said about this, but it's an important forum, so right under the most popular will do.
Relationships, as eighth, is at a random spot!
The 4th Wall: music, media, fun, right? Easily found at the bottom! I guess it's not always a favorable spot, but some forum as to be at the bottom -_-


Good? Bad? Ugly? Give your thoughts people! =P

Ok give it a go but I reserve the right to put puberty back up to the top if things don't work out.

i agree, if things dont work out, puberty should go back on the top, however as with the current order I think puberty and ddebate should be above creative writing.

Any reason why? I'd like newcomers to see Creative Writing before they dart for Puberty For the Mentally Ill. :)

well i was looking at the setup and i just felt that puberty was too low, but it's no biggie.
