I did a little info searching with the most popular boards and here's what I found:
Posts made yesterday (unstickied):
GC - 93
NNV - 92 (Games - 49, Contests & Giveaways - 43)
Misc. - 53
Those are the most popular boards I would say. As you can see, NNV is clearly the second most used board. If it was split into two different boards (both with no post increment, of course), the divided post count is just slightly under the third most popular board (which would then be second).
NNV is so crowded right now. After the forum was redone and new boards were added, Entertainment was split into 6 different boards which altogether have about 29% less than the number of posts in NNV (numbers used: Ent - 38,171 & NNV - 54,672). Art has 3 boards which altogether have 80% less posts then NNV (numbers used: Art - 10,743 & NNV - 54,672). If these boards can be split, why not NNV? Those boards create far less activity, yet they were seperated.
Words games and contests & giveaways have nothing to do with one another. They are seperate topics. All we are asking is that they are given their room so the games will have their space and the contests theirs. If it's a question of work, I would gladly offer my services to seperate the two. As a matter of fact, my dad is taking the girls again next week, so I would have time to do it. It seems NNV keeps getting neglected while other parts of the forum keep getting more attention. We'd just like our fair share. Please, once again, consider splitting these topics into two boards as they were before PPT went down last year. Thank you very much.
