Redundant..
Friends / Family falls under relationships, as they are relationships. I think that if we're going to call a forum relationships we shouldn't limit it to dating, and then con-dilute forums with another category for friends and family. All relationships are that, relationships.
My idea is to combine Friends / Family / Relationships into one and name it Relationships or something to that extent. I mean, look at it "Sex and Relationships" maybe the dictionary meaning of relationship is wrong, but its not only about people you go giggly and giddy over..
i'll go hide now......

Re: Redundant..
i dunno i like the separate. its easier to just be sorted. then you know if its a significant other/crush or if its a friend/family. i like it the way it is so...
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Re: Redundant..
I have to agree here, it is redundant. Otherwise me might as well divide up the sex sex sex forum into male and female as well, seeing how overcrowded it still is. It's just silly, as is relationships and family.
Rename relationships to dating or something then. Surely one could find something more differentiating than it's current name.

Re: Redundant..
yeah if you put a whole category "relationships" and then "dating"(or another word cuz sometimes its crushes or exes) and "family/friends" under it thatd be okay. but i dont want the two of them mixed. and Nick you know what she meant, dont take her words so literal!

Re: Redundant..
I like them the way they are--but let me see if I'm understanding what all of you are saying.
Relationships (CATEGORY)
--------- Dating (FORUM)
--------- Family/Friends (FORUM)
If so, I really don't like that. We try to create very broad categories and not go overboard with the new forums. In the end it is a lot more simple. And if we make the forum so complex that people can't figure it out that is a very bad thing. We have 7 categories and around 30 forums already.

Re: Redundant..
You're contradicting yourself Skye. You want to be as broad as possible yet still simple to understand? Then merge relationship and family in something like 'Friends and Family'.

How is keeping broad generalized categories contradicting simplicity. If you ask me, they're hand-in-hand.Originally posted by Rob@Jan 14 2004, 11:47 AM

Re: Redundant..
If it's to do with categorizing then what difference does it make WHERE the forum goes? *really doesn't see the problem here*
I wish I were a spy.

Re: Redundant..
i'm saying lable the two existing relationship forums correctly.
at this point "Relationships" be definition should not weed out family/friends, use a verb skye, nothing more.. if the two are combined even better!

Re: Redundant..
Well, personally, I don't see them being combined because they are two very different types of relationships and each comes with its own set of very complex problems.Originally posted by Nick@Jan 14 2004, 03:43 PM

I had figured as much, which is why I differed to simply labeling them correctly. Which would be said labels or similar ones.
Romantic Relationships
Friend / Family Relationships
ultimatly to have just "Relationships" and allow only Romantic ones is a bit wrong seeing as how your using a very broad word and limiting the forum's post topic.

Re: Redundant..
Oh Come on! These have been two boards since the start of TH! no need to change something thats worked for years. Besides keeping them seperet is alot nicer then combinding the forms. I can't help anyone w/ dateing really, but I can help family questions. Its easier for someone like me to look up thoses family questions quickly then searching through many post about dating to find one about family....
Did that make any sense??? more then likely not....

Cindy, that made perfect sense--to me at least. I've been trying to say it's fine how it is.

we all have different opinions. it was an idea skye, not concrete being dumped over top of you. You yourself and you supposed proper word use should know that it currently makes no sense as is, but hey, whatever...
Cindy, try reading through the topic. Its been obvious from the start the combining idea got nixed and the topic moved on. its called compromise...
