If we're considering the preferences of newcomers, how many new people have registered in the last, say, three months?
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That makes perfect sense, DX. And yet, my twitch remains.
This TV folder idea is going to turn me into an anti-proliferationist, isn't it?
Oh, wait, I just thought of something that makes me feel better. Could we call it "Show Threads" rather than TV?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The community threads would be on the front page, but I think I'd still skim past them and click on TV if I was looking for Buffy talk.
I'd put Tech in community as a community service thread.

Around 45.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They're all sorta that, though, aren't they? I'm not feeling a need (or seeing the pros) to categorising everything. Media and not-media works for me, with not-media on the front page.
Bon, let me check on that for you.

Yeah, but Tech gets far more posts that start out "Can someone help me?" than probably any other thread except When Come Back.

What is even happening?
I'm not feeling a need (or seeing the pros) to categorising everything.
I think it will be sloppy if we don't, and if we still have a huge list, and just separate out the few TV threads we have, it's not going to make anything that much easier to find on the main page, imo.

If you categorise everything, there's nothing interesting on the front page. I think that doesn't do us much good.
If you categorise for TV, you lose about 5 threads, and prevent new threads from popping up there (I think it's the most likely area for new threads to be created). You can add 4 by including movies, and 8 more by rolling in the written word.
Anything more strikes me as over-organising.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Me, too. Keeping the BTVS/Angel/Firefly threads in the Community folder out of sentimental feeling is not good organization. They're show(/movie) discussion threads, so not putting them in the same folder as the other show threads makes utterly no sense.

Because books.
I'm with Cindy and Steph here. But I, too, find a lot easier (and more fun) to cyber-organize than to do it anywhere else.
The front page is overwhelming to me. Especially since they change position all the time. Finding everything in the same place would make sense to me, since then the threads would only change position within their folders. (I think. I could be terribly wrong.)
