Shortly after the Fanhome brand was revived, I made the following post on the suggestions Board.

At the old place we had a separate board for discussion of movies, TV shows, music, literature and other aspects of the entertainment world. It received a large number of posts.
Why do we not have such a board here? Some would argue there would be nothing left to post about on the main BBQ. but we still discussed personal issues and the like that would not fall under the heading of current events.

With the much lower activity at this time we felt that Entertainment and the General BBQ could exist together. There is nothing to prevent entertainment topics to be discussed in the BBQ. In fact there is an excellent thread about defining an artist in five songs.

I made a rebuttal and one other person replied before the thread was closed with no further discussion just 2 1/2 days after it was started.
I still favor an Entertainment Board as we had before. We never seemed to have a problem before with knowing which threads to put where. But why is it not directly linked to the other BBQs? And why do we have five sub-boards if you at one time felt that one board would make things too fragmented?
I also don't think the Death Pool thread needed to be moved.
While I still think an Entertainment Board is warranted, the current way it is being handled is a mess and I'd rather not have one at all than the situation that has been created.
People clicking on a message board for the first time are less likely to post if they see a bunch of dead boards.
