Before we go to IPB 3 were trying to clean up the forums to lessen the page load and clean up the look. If I had to pick I would just pick the one with the least replies and topics, but thats not the best way. So I'm asking you guys to help narrow down to 3 forums we just don't need anymore.

If we had to remove 3 forums right now (move topics elsewhere) which 3 would you pick? (No Lobby Forums as choices)

Delete the whole Halo 3 section /jk.
But seriously,
Merge 360 General and 360 Help into one.
Delete Ipod/Zune, as there is little to no activity there.

[iBotPeaches]

The whole xbox 1 and xbox 360 forums were merged once. You can get the xbox section out the picture, I'm not changing that.

[Korupt Data]

PlayStation, handhelds and Zune/Ipod
They can all be removed, and also i would remove some of the less popular PC forums
and add a general one for all pc related stuff.

Cut down H2 modding a little bit. (Maybe delete misc.)
Combine website construction and tech coding.
Something with video editing and media, maybe delete both or merge.

[LXV Grizzly]

Playstation Consoles
Handhelds,
Ipod/Zune
Hardly any activity in any of those.

[SmokiestGrunl]

I know you said 3, but this is a whole make over....



Xbox Consoles name changed to Consoles/Gaming.
Consoles/Gaming contains current Xbox Consoles forums, with all of the Other Consoles added to it, but Other Consoles put into a sub section.



Web Construction merged with Tech Coding Tutorials, name to be Web coding?
Operating Systems merged with PC Hardware and Programs then renamed Hardware/Software
Video Editing merged with media, name to stay media
Cell Phones deleted or merged with ipod/zune but renamed to something else.


H2 Glitching merged with H2 Misc. name to stay misc.



H3 Forge/Customs/Matchmaking, H3 Theatre, H3 Campaign/Skulls/Glitching merged to make H3 Misc.
H3 modding to be merged with H3 Talk/News, name remain H3 Talk/News.



Off-Topic merged with General Discussion and keep the name General Discussion. Off-topic is "general" discussion and General Discussion has been neglected ever since off-topic. Its your choice whether or not to make General not count towards your post count.



GFX Showoff merged with Battle Zone and tags re-introduced.



There a complete make over

[iKhaosmaster]

Remove
Cell Phones
Operating Systems
iPod/Zune

Merge
Computer Support and Computer Tutorials and make a forum called Computers and put those as a sub forum under the forum.
Put H3 Modz, H3 Modding Programs, and H3 Modding Tutorials under H3 Modding.

I think the problem is that our categories can't be cut down much more, and there are always people who will object to some sections being deleted. I think what we need to do at IBotmodz is get our priority's strait. We need to decide out what we are really about, then think about deleting sections/subsections and merging. When we started out, it was Xbox, computers and Halo (maybe GFX, can't remember). Now we have Wii in the picture, PSP, PlayStation, the DS etc.
I mean these sections hardly have any activity. I think to cut down we need to either outright delete them or merge them.

Purely my Revised opinion.

Some sections are rarely used, or never used.

I think they should be merged or just deleted.


It's better with less forums, looks alot cleaner.

Yeah pretty much that,any activity in those can be moved to General Discussion or Off Topic.

[Korupt Data]

Smokie i like your ideas but,
general discussion and off-topic need to be seperated still.

And i think that normal xbox and 360 sections should be merged into Just Xbox in general.

[Dan]

Erm, merge some of the halo 3 sections.

Lose the OS forum.

Merge GFX general, help and resources.

[Dark Slipstream]

Everything Smokie says I agree with, win.
