Change the direction of this forum?

[VBBN]

Wondering your thoughts on this:

As many have noticed, Brickforum sounds more like a lego site than a Bionicle site. And quite frankly, just Bionicle is boring. I am wondering, should we change the focus of this site? (I.e, general lego, general toys, etc.)

[AK-47]

I think this would work out all right, and please the members who joined just for Bionicle. Have some forums (space,castle,star wars, etc.). Then have like 3-4 dedicated to Bionicle.

1-Sets
2-Reviews
3-Misc.

I think this would please everyone, as it still puts Bionicle out as the main theme, attracting those fans, while still attracting even more other members!!!

A great idea Nathan thinks this is

I dunno, I joined this site because it was more in depth than EB, and I think that it should stay that way. I think it should stay PRIMARILY focused on Bionicle, but could use some forums for other things too.

One of the good things about this site is it's heavy BIONICLE theme. IMO, that needs to stay, but it also prevents this forum from being appropriate for other LEGO stuff. So, if (and very much if) you can make sub-forum specific themes like on EB so that we can keep this BIONICLE-ness, then it would be a good idea to expand into the rest of LEGO, because it won't hurt what we already have. However, if you can't, it would be better to either make another forum for LEGO in general whilst keeping this site the same, or to just leave it until you can find a forum system capable of sub-themes.

Thanks for your input.

However, I have come up with a new solution:

A seperate forum running on proboards. It will cover all things lego. And then, the forum for Bionicle, will lead to this site.

Thoughts?

You should have one forum section called "Other Lego" where users could make topics about other lego. But, if you make all different forums for all different kinds of sets of lego, it would defeat the purpose of coming to this site (being it is more in-depth with bionicle), and everyone would just go back to EB...

Anyone agree?

I also like this idea...
but it would take time to let every1 know that BFM is running a new site that has to do with all the other lego sets...

[Lego12]

I suggest that we stick with BFM as a Bionicle only site. That's what we were made for.

[Matanui911]

Ok, my thoughts. I think that if we expanded the sight, then the bionicle section would be polluted with people who don't know crap about bionicle, just like it sometimes happens on eurobricks. What I think we should do is have sister sites for any other different type of lego, or just one to cover all system, as vbbn said. It would make both parties happy, and it would lesson polution, if you know what I mean. Any thoughts on this idea?

[AK-47]

I don't see the need to add a completely new forum, why not just put in 3 forums in, so evryone feels more like a community.
