Please, no more sub-forums!It seems that each time i come on there are a couple more! I appreciate that this is an attempt to streamline the forum, but I preferred it a bit simpler, with 4 sub forums max, for example. Personally i don't see the need for a separate oxbridge forum - there is already a university one - or a books, tv and film forum, which i reckon won't be used much.
What does everyone else think? -

Well whats the point in have a subforum to house only two threads. They are hardy clogging up the main forum - which I can hardly see now - I have to scroll down everytime. Sort it out d.(Original post by Lord Huntroyde)
The books, film and TV sub-forum has more posts in it than all but two of the other sub-forums but only two threads, though they are amongst the longest UKL threads ever. -

Agreed, the sub forums do seem to be a good idea, just takes a little getting used to is all.(Original post by Ensocopier)

But they take up a lot of bandwidth cos they are long threads.(Original post by Ensocopier)

Subforums got tried for the first time in the summer, but there were about 7 and nobody liked them, so they were removed. The university subforum used to be a different site (called Uk-student.info), but it gets used far more now that its a sub-forum than when it was just a link at the top of the page. I think the subforums are much better now than they were the first time they were attempted. But the forum wasn't so crowded then, and there weren't as many threads or members, which is why i think it didn't work then, but does now.(Original post by Sire)

is d taking the piss? He knows that he hasn't got anywhere near full support for his subforums, but most of us shut up just to let him have a few. Now every couple of days he keeps on adding more and more, which is just taking the piss. Has he heard of anything called balance?

I think it is getting a little much now. Subforums for 'About', 'University' and 'Academic' is enough. I know the oxbridge and personal statements ones are subforums of the university one so why have them displayed on the main page as well?
Anyway, I think if any more are added it will ruin this entire site. -

It's just dumb, isn't it. And people don't use them properly.
