I like the "Fun and Games" naming idea. Although the "I love everything.." threads may not be strictly considered "Games" they are definitely fun.
I am alittle bit weary about the "child forum" concept though. I am pretty content with the way that the forum is at the moment. When all the threads are visible at once, all the fun and game threads get great exposure and it becomes easy to move from, say, the ABCs game to an "I love everything.." thread without having to enter child forums.
Just my 2 cents..

I like what Lucise says here. I don't think it's too unwieldy yet just having it all piled together. We may get to a point where we want to subdivide, but I don't think we're there yet.

Hmm. That's odd. I thought I wrote a post about this last night. Now I can't find it. Well, it was very late ...
Anyway, I'm with Roland and Victoria that the ILE threads are of a different nature than the games threads. They're not wordplay or puzzles, they're about expressing potentially more profound thoughts and emotions. (Sometimes the games elicit profundity, too, but that's not their primary purpose. And sometimes the ILE posts are funny or flippant, but they're also meant to allow for seriousness.)
However, I'm OK with storing the ILEs here as long as they're easily findable. As long as the games forum doesn't grow beyond a page, that shouldn't be a problem. In fact, they may be more findable that way than they would with child boards.

--- Quote from: Roland on April 22, 2006, 10:17:10 pm ---I appreciate your attempt to change the title to "Fun and Games". However IMO these new threads are not about fun and games either. They're more like expressions of feelings and opportunities to highlight touching moments and how they relate to us in our lives. I suppose they appear like games in that they are easy and light, - but they're not really fun and games.

Well, as I've said many times before, I am absolutely terrible at coming up with creative names for forums. My writing strength is not in the "creative writing" wing. I am always happy to get ideas about better names.
The early consensus seems to be more towards keeping this section free of child boards for now anyway because the threads do all fit on one forum page. We just need a better name for the forum to reflect it's interactivity, yet more structured format.

Maybe you can claim to have limited creativity when it comes to thinking up forum titles, but look around you, at the family that you're taking care of. Pretty damn impressive I'd say!
