The "Helpers" appear when the icons are loading and when I place my pointer over them, but not after they are fully loaded. Strange! ------------------ iMac DVSE 400 MHz 128 Mb/…

Whats with the Office 2001 forum? That is covered by 3rd party software. There are now too many forums... and people that surf the 3rd pary software forum won't go to the Office fo…

it just shows to go you, you can't please all the peepul all the time! "there's not enuff 4um categories!" and then, "there's 2 many 4um categories!" and then, "there's 2 many 2 ce…

I agree with Cipher. The Office 2001 forum is redundant; keep it within the Third-party Software forum. The others seem fine to me.

I too think there are too many forums. There were about half as many when I registered only at the beginning of the summer! The new fora have superseded the old, and cheapened th…

I also agree. There are now 33 active fora, and this shows on a personal level. I like to help other Mac users, especially newbies. But it is impractical to follow so many places. …

I'd like to see some naturalist's forums, where we might discuss the status of wild plants and animals. It might perhaps be called the Flora and Fauna Fora. Say! This isn't Nation…

I come back, and it's like if I came home and my bookshelves had all been moved to different rooms of the house! I'm confused... where to go? too many fora!.. the effect is quite …

mp3 forum is pretty dumb. Cipher is right. Less forums = better mac modifications needs to stay though.

Notice how few people have posted in this thread, not to mention the other threads in this forum? I think it is a pretty strong testament to the fragmentation of our fora! People…

I'll post a link to this in the moderator forum. I hope something will be done about this. You all are right...

What do you think about merging the PowerBook and iBook forums? I don't think we should merge the Power Mac and iMac forums - they are almost completely differnet products. The not…

I can't say from experience anything about the portables (hopefully that will change within 10-15 months...) but I think combining the Software fora as suggested above would really…

Indeed, first things first, one step at a time is the best way to go. Kill the excess fora off bit by bit... Cipher13

Think of this logistically... What will happen to the moderators of the forums that you kill? For example, the PowerBook/iBook forum would have three moderators. Do you think it's…

Also, do you think the "Mac Jobs" and "Buy/Sell" forums should be combined? I, for one, don't visit the "Mac Jobs" forum. Does anyone here find it useful? Also, the "Macs in the M…

I wish to suggest combining the "OS X General Discussion" and the "OS X Support" Forums into one "OS X Public Beta" Forum. I know there are tons of posts there, but the same kinds …

I think the forums should be rated by the user's responce: Over 500 Reply Forums: Power Mac G3/G4/Cube iMac PowerBook iBook Older Systems & Clones Peripherals AirPort and Net…

Well, that's a very good point, except that you can't just kill a forum unless you can reasonably combine it with something else, and a more logical way to rate user response would…

I think any forums without any "Hot Topics" should go.

Quote: Originally posted by MacOS761: ...a more logical way to rate user response would be to divide the number of posts by how long the forum has been in existence. I …

OSX Server and Developer have also only been around for under a month. Same with the other 2 X forums really, but posts from the old X have been moved around a lot mainly between t…

Are you kidding??? That would take forever! ------------------ We're supposed to sing about piraty things!

We are considering the options... We deliberately split up OS X General and Support because our OS X forum was getting too much traffic. If you see similar posts in Support and G…

Thanks, I'm glad you folks have picked up on this one. I suppose you have noticed the sentiments in the "Can we have a BeOS Forum?" thread as well... umm.. talk amongst yourselves…
