Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
The old boards aren't going away. They will stay as they are, read-only.
But Dory36 is asking for ideas on setting up new boards to start new discussions. Many said we have too many boards. Which ones do you want to recreate for new discussions? Pick as many or as few as you want. Feel free to comment, too.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
How about combining HELP, News, FAQ into "Admin"
"Hi, I am" to stay as is
Combine SWR, Tech forum, Costs of Retirement Life, and Investment strategies into "FIRE and Money"
Combine Lifestyles... and Travel... into Life after FIRE
Young Dreamers to stay as is
Combine "other topics", "You gotta see this", and "Make money fast" into "You gotta see this".
This gets us down to 6, and reduces (I think) most of the overlap.
Thoughts?

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
Good suggestion Dory - but take out the young dreamer board - that will fit fine under one of the 2 other FIRE boards. Cheers!

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
I like the idea of 5-6 boards- dory's version or ben's modification sound fine

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
"Make money fast with no brains..." and "You gotta see this.." have some pretty funny stuff in there. I like funny stuff. Give us the characters a place to go.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
Bum; but that would fit well under "others" - together with some political rants that is basically what "others" tend to consist of. Cheers!

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
How about just one board and call it "Aiyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" 
Or no boards. We can all just check in, see who else is sitting there looking at the list of people logged in, and then go mow the lawn?

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
Hi Ben,
I don't really care. I was just comfy with the old setup. These things have a way of assuming their own identity now matter how hard the organizers try.
Is is my imagination or did your avatar look better before? You're getting a little grainy aroung the gills and gun.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
I don't much care either. I liked the way it was except for the FAQS section, which wasn't really all that much FAQS. The advantage of a fair number of topics was that a number of threads could go at once without getting lost.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Boards
yeah seems my avatar has taken a beating in the upgrade.... will look at when time (something to do with the no of pixels/size allowed in the avatar had me reduce the original photo quality before - but now he looks like the starting scenes of Die another day!).
Cheers!

You're just getting older*  .* Maybe more sunblock is in order.
The fewer boards the better. Maybe about 6. My clicker finger could handle that.
