Imo, the General Discussion forum should contain stuff like Lost news, screencaps and easter egg threads, polls (the Lost Polls forum should be removed), the "my favorite episode/scene/character" kind of threads, etc.

I was actually going to suggest something about the issue of episode discussions being in the general section this morning!

Mod and comments combined is a good idea as well, as is getting rid of the polls since they can be placed within any forum.

Great feedback, jvince!

What can we do to stop all the stuff from The Editor and Oscar from showing up in the forums?

It's not that I don't like their posts and stuff, but it completely junks up the main discussion area with their little articles...

Dibs not me! :P

Can't we add a 'Buddy TV section'? So they can write their little tidbits in there and people can comment there?

I understand that, but when they write their little articles, let's leave it at that. Anytime someone replies to the article on the main buddytv page, it bumps the post.

Look at how many article/posts they have after each episode. It nearly feels up page one on the general discussions page.

Personally I feel that their articles should be separated from the board. If they want to come here and post, then by all means, but it severely clutters up the forums the way they do it now.

right now, if you look at page one... 10 threads are their articles. That's HALF of the page.

Perhaps in the clean up, we can give them their own section to publish their articles on the forums in

unless i'm being mega stupid, don't they make new ones weekly? So i was thinking a dedicated bit to them...

Funny you should mention that...I actually sent a PM to The Editor about that exact thing. I suggested that he doesn't need to have a main article and then a separate article for each issue. I suggested only having the individual "Easter Egg" things and not the main one plus that.

Any suggestions for a better system for those articles would be great.

How do we all feel about the "Characters" section? In the Characters section we have another one of those stupid double menu things where there are sub-forums for each character and then threads for each character under the main "character" forum. That will be fixed if we do keep characters. In fact, I am going to work on merging those threads together this weekend.

Introductions? Can't introductions be made in Off-Topic? Fan Fiction?
