    I'm still tinkering with this, so please, throw me suggestions.

    Right now I have it

    Music
    --- Album Discussion
    --- New Singles
    Sports
    L&A
    Movies
    Games
    News
    Creative
    General (Misc)

    I merged "New Albums" with "Album Discussion" since all members can edit thread titles now, so we can just tag leaked in the album discussion threads. Also, I'm updating the header every time something leaks.

    Still not sure about the new singles section. Keep it or no? Right now its just pushing an RSS feed from rapdose lol.

    Gimme your thoughts.

    I'd go:
    S80:

    General
    Music
    Sports
    Movies
    L&A
    Games
    Creative
    Issues & Suggestions

    Miscellaneous:
    Album Discussions
    New Singles

    You're obviously looking at it by "most active sections" point of view, but this is how I would have sorted it out, if it was mine.

    No, I'm trying to make it more intuitive. Album Discussion and New Singles should go in the music section because, well, it's music.

    And General should be on the bottom because General is the new Misc, and all the more serious threads that used to be in General should be made in Life & Advice.

    You are so indecisive and spastic @Robot. You're are a f---ing mental cripple.

    @Hasman really love what your doing

    my suggestions
    1- delete new singles..its just a rap dose section atm and you can have a dedicated guy stream music once the blog is up
    2- leave new albun leaked merged with album discussion and we can have people change the tags...you said members can edit now..i hope only n that section? otherwise trolls will f--- things up i thing...my suggestion is to make a usergroup of trusted members that can edit...they are the same as regular members only difference they can edit threads

    Having news and general at the top under one banner like on SL would make sense imo

    The way I see it is that way it was active which is important since news dealt with current events. I might also be thinking this way because SL was always my go to site (and home page) for news, lol. I never go to any news websites so that's probably why I liked having news at the top. General section I guess I don't care about that much, I just got used to it being there.

    keep in mind general is now considered misc, and life&advise is the new general

    That makes sense since there was never really any clear thematic distinction between general and misc

    This is only their own topics. No one elses. Mods can edit the titles to [Leaked] if the OP isn't fast enough.

    Agreed, deleted it.

    For any notable new songs, people can just post about it in the music forum.

    I like having the music forums all rolled into one. Without any streams, having new albums posted as threads used for discussion when it leaks makes sense. New Singles as a subsection also makes good sense and I think it will more once we decide where we want to go with that.

    Already said it, but like taking focus out of General in favour of L&A.

    Also think the order should go

    Music
    Life & Advice
    Then Sports, Movies, and Gaming, which look like they should group together. I don't think sports should have focus above L&A.
