I was just reading the post about lack of interest lately on WB. I've been on a couple of other forums and noticed "rooms", forum categories for general things, not just general hiking things, but anything.
One forum I checked out has "The Lounge" which is anything on your mind. Then it also has "The Lair" which is common interests, movies, tv series, literature, etc, but not just related to the topic of the forum, which happens to be guns (don't ask), but anything. And there's also a "What's Your Deal" forum which is basically where people complain about stuff, their day, Comcast screwing them over, bank fees, whatever.
Then, after all of that stuff, there's the forums specifically about topics in the forum, in that case, guns. In this case, Get Togethers, Media, General Hiking, Staight-Forward, Food, Gear, UL gear, Buy/sell, etc.
It seems like a lot of people on WB know each other or have a common interest in things like hiking, it'd be interesting to get to chat as a forum group about other topics and get input, advice, humor, from other people discussing other things.
Does that make sense, or seem like a cool idea, or should I just stick to reading the posts on the other forums?
