Generally we don't worry too much about threads being created in 'on-topic' only forums here and is why sometimes you will see general conversations in some of the areas.
Well, I'm working on something that would be better if the Books, Movies, & TV/Webisodes forums were more focused on actual works instead of having general conversations in them. I'm always 'working on something', some experiments work out, others not so much.
To clarify, a topic like "The Stand by Stephen King" would be perfect for the Books forum when talking about the book for the Movies and/or TV forums when talking about the adaptions of the book. A topic like "Who likes books/movies like The Stand?" would be better in the "Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy Talk" or the "Entertainment News and Talk" forums since both of those are meant for general conversations.
Why the change? Because then if we do any kind of listings on the front page of topics being talked about, such as "Hot Topics: Books" with a listing of books that have the most recent activity, then the threads listed will be just book titles and not general conversations.
It's a minor thing but as a result you guys might some some threads being moved from the Books, Movies, & TV/Webisodes forums to other areas.
And, of course, I'm always listening to feedback & suggestions so if anybody has ideas for better forum names just let me know. We kind of inherited the general "Entertainment News & Talk" forum when we brought the AllAlias/DiscussionJunkies community the fold so there is likely some overlap between it and the "Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy Talk" forum.
