Just a general question, can a subforum be renamed and/or moved to another section of the forum tree?

Haven't thought out specifics, but Politcal Film seems open to a fresh idea. Or maybe all the Book threads can be moved into Comic Book with that combo being renamed. Just spitballing here....

Re: Can we have a food sub-forum?
I have a better idea. Let’s just post all of our food threads in Book Talk. Who the hell cares what it’s called.

Re: Can we have a food sub-forum?
I agree with VinVega. Keep food discussion in Other. Why dilute the forum even further when activity is as low as it is?

No, no we do not. Additional forum differentiation on a forum with declining activity is a remarkably bad idea. We should be combining forums.

So long as threads stay remotely on-topic, it is not onerous at all to pick and choose the threads you have interest in an open just those. The days of 3+ pages of updated threads per day left us during the Clinton administration.

Agreed That’s why we’re looking at combining the Cooking and Book Forums.

If not, then kill it.

The forum needs some change.

With 47 threads and 6,519 posts, it's already a slam dunk! A home run! A puck in the net! A hole in one! A touchdown! A sweep!

Re: Can we have a food sub-forum?
I just had another idea. We could rebrand the entire site 'Pizza Talk'!

I’ve tried fried tarantula in Cambodia, and honestly, it wasn’t bad, crispy, kinda like soft-shell crab. Also had balut (fertilized duck egg) in the Philippines, which was a bit intense but tasty if you don’t think too hard about it.

This poster joined in 2017 and the food forum brought them back to posting again. Success!
