Enabling Terrible Ideas since 2012

So in celebration of the Arts Festival, I'm proposing we do something about the arts forums here: namely, the Glorious Return of YOMFA. My idea: Forum: Ye Olde Mother Fornicating Artes (would be what is currently YOMFAD and TOIA) Subforum of YOMFA: Ye Olde Mother Fornicating Arte Gallery (what is currently the Conservatory) I don't think we really need ToIA as an independent forum. The animated and drawn arts are still arts, even if they're not "high art", and they should be part of the art forum. It seems to me - and this is likely a gross oversimplification - that ToIA exists largely because some members are going "we don't want your weeaboo anime bullshit/stupid Homestuck bullshit in my Art Forum!". I also think both forums are suffering from it. However, if there's enough support for ToIA as an independent forum, it could go as a subforum of YOMFA as "Ye Olde Mother Fornicating Animated Artes" or something. Thoughts? |

I don't feel that the gallery forum needs to be a subforum of the discussion one, if only because that will make things even more difficult when people are posting new art - or trying to find the user-created arts around here. Given that we have so many artists in so many mediums, I think it can stand as its own forum the way it is now. I don't mind the illustrated arts one grouped back into the discussion one, though. |

Eh, they each get a lot of activity. I like the set up we have currently. :\ Is the front page too long in your opinion? |

I think I've actually observed an increase in the activity for all forums involved since the splits. Sure, you may think the reasoning for splitting was bad, and you're probably right to a degree, but it's been beneficial overall, I believe. What would really help these things is consolidating all the stickies and unstickying some things. |

I just want the name changed for the forum where people post their own stuff to something I can actually remember.

I don't see a problem with the current set up. When I first got on here I thought it seemed excessive, but after a couple weeks of being here I think they should be separated as is. |

Keep it the way it is, but maybe a name-change for the Conservatory (like, say, "The Conservatory"), because "Ye Old Boisterous Gallery, Library, and Conservatory" doesn't have the same snarky ring as YOMFA, and just feels like a mouthful without being clever. Ye Olde Mother Fornicating Conservatory would even work for me, but otherwise I like the separation. |

Actually, "The Conservatory" is nice. I like YOMFConservatory, but we need to end it with a vowel-word, to abbreviate it. What abooout... Exposition? So it would be Yomfe and Yomfa, PLUS you'd get the added bonus of banana pudding ;D Also, it's because I named Yomfa, and somebody else named the other one. ![]() But yeah, if people like them split, we can keep that. After all, we used to have separate forums for every single one of the genres. xD |

I think that the main thing is to have the forums for original work and for discussion of art separated. As long as that basic premise is maintained, I'll be happy. Saying that, I'm not fussed over the way it currently is. also my poetry topic deserves as sticky imo |
