Make the Art/FF&R forums into subforums in the Sandbox?

They're slower forums, so I don't see why they should be stand alone forums. Opinions?

Yeah, to me it would be a good choice to put these forums into a subforum inside the Sandbox Forum since if it's like that it makes it more organized. Problem is that members do need some time to get used to the new changes but oh well.

I think that's actually a pretty good idea, as I never see them update, and when they do, it's usually about one new post. So I can see where you're coming from.

Art Board isn't slow at all, so I prefer only add FF&R as a subforum.

Idk what your definition of slow is, but compared to the other forums it's not really that active.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to close this right now because I don't want the situation to escalate further. I'm not going to do this for these reasons:

- The art board receives plenty of activity, and the FF/R forum isn't open yet so we can't gauge its activity level.
- If boards aren't receiving enough activity, the first thing we should do is try to make them more active. Making them subforums should be a last resort because it'll probably make them less active.
- FF/R would better fit as a subforum of the art or VG boards.

What I will say, though, is that in the future I plan to remove the fan fiction part from the FF/R forum and just move all the fan fiction into the Art Board, because that makes more sense.
