I suggest you get rid of the high school forum, or perhaps RENAME it to the newbie forum..b/c basically thats where all the inexperienced..simple redundant questions..are asked. You could newbie questions towards there.
the discussion forum basically..becomes..the advanced..or master forum, this will keep the discussion..of high caliber without diluted newbie crap
Tips are for tips..thats fine, the problem here..is half the tips..are crap, mods..need to do a good job of cleaning this out here.
Anything else should be merged with suggestions..as NSS..this forum, this would save bandwidth..and its a waste of space otherwise.
You can name the forums whatever you want, but bottom line is..high school forum..will be full of newbies. and redundant questions (and you were thinking about a newbie forum)..the discussion SHOULD be more..advanced.
This way..the forum will not be degraded..and you can concentrate all the NEWBIE crap into there.
I think the archives is great idea. HOwever..i think..that its being implemented wrong. You are simply bumping up good topics no?? there isnt really good any DISCUSSION going on there..just..bumping and "good post" and.hero worshipping.
I say get rid of the forum..or perhaps..make it something READ ONLY..like the hall of fame articles. Basically, i think..the all the great posts..tips..and good stuff from the past here..can be turned into a coherent thing. Ok, you have the archives..with contain good old posts., then u have..the DJ BIBLE..mainly about tips, and the all of fame. Organize an effort..to integrate this all into one coherent thing. I would..be up for creating an FAQ..that would have..be up on the top of the forum. I could incorporate..old posts, (which i think are in essence.."bible" material b/c..you can learn a lot simmply from reading other ppls STORIES), the bible..tips..and the hall of fame. It would be better organized..and instead..of forcing newbies..to search thru the dj bible.have..it PLAIN AND CLEAR for them to see.
So basically have
Beginners, Advanced, Tips, General talk and feedback, and moderators.
