Infotainment -- Beta testing a new section at FanHome

John F · May 13th, 2008, 08:53 AM

Fans aren't just about sports.

Over the years, you can see this in the BBQ's -- especially when they were several different sections devoted to several different subjects.

And now they've gotten their own section on the site.

http://www.fanhome.com/forums/295_infotainment

We're still developing the section with forum subjects and what not. This is just a start. I know everyone is beholden to the layout fo the site as is but please take a moment and stop by over there. Or heck, make a suggestion about another topic to discuss in this thread.

Mind you we already have a conept for the News on that section, but that's still being worked on.

OK, so no one has complained yet...

I am thinking of creating two other sections for that area. One would be Meta -- for FanHome BBQ banter. The other would be for the Arts... OK, maybe a third: Travel.

I think having five sections for entertainment is overkill. Also, placing it away from the other BBQs my hurt its popularity. Why not have just one Entertainmet board and place it right below the other BBQs, like we had on the old boards?

Longtime, we are actually exploring putting the BBQs in the infotainment section, rather than segregated.

Hmmm.....

So, when a former world chess champ is attacked by a radio controlled flying penis, is that entertainment, or current events? In the continuing absence of a Dali Brought to Life forum, of course.

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
