Default The Wasteland is no more...

...and has been renamed to General Discussion.

Following feedback from some users and to make the web site a little more accommodating to off-topic discussion (i.e. not music or scene related discussion) we have decided to conduct a little experiment. The Wasteland has been renamed to General Discussion and four new sub-forums have been created within this called Humour, Movies & TV,
Politics & Current Affairs and Sports. The staff will, where appropriate, move selected threads into these new sub-forums starting from today.

The aim is to not only encourage more people to post but to also make it more obvious what content is considered acceptable to be posted into the General Discussion forum and sub-forums.

Hopefully you will all agree but if you don't think it's working or if you have any other feedback then please reply and let us know.

Neil, far too many categories. I'm not gonna trawl through 5 different boards to find conversations I've been having, the point of the Wasteland was that anything goes anywhere.

Seriously? If so, then I assume The Wasteland was the only reason you visited the web site. If so, then that's a loss I can deal with.

That may prove to be the case and if so, the sub-forums will be removed. I'll keep a close eye on this and see how it affects the post and view rates...

I think the changes are great.. Gives the Wasteland crowd something to trawl through without seeing the threads scattered all over the board.. at least if you seriously wanna put some input into a debate, it's not just their to see for someone to add silly comments.

I for one like the changes.

I'm not too fond of the sub-forums, they seem pointless.

I tend to just use the new posts button anyways so I don't think it'll make that much of a difference to me. Good idea though I'd say.
