FEEDBACK NEEDED: On a new feature we currently working on

Posted: 6 years ago

Hi All,

As we are revamping the site we are looking at ways how we can improve the Forums which is central to our site. And currently we have a forum for each tv show and that is the main way we are organising forum topics which is kinda limiting.

To solve this problem we are working on a new idea on how we organise forum topics. We are going to start allowing the Topics to be tagged with Celebrities / Shows / Movies / Channels. What this means is that when you start a new topic you are given a choice to tag the entities you are writing about and it starts appearing on their Discussion Pages.
So for example:

In a way we can write a comparison on 3 shows and it will start appearing on all the 3 shows.

And when we add these entities to our favourites it will show us all the topics based on our interests on a single page and as a user one would not have to go through each forum individually. So if I am fan of a celebrity which makes it easier to discover any topic created on them on any forum.

I feel this will makes browsing topics much easier and fun. What do you think about this and if there is something that I missed considering.

Regards,

Created

Bring it on.


That was just an example 😃 Not trying to rake a fan war 😳.

Here's another example:

If I like the pairing of a certain actors and I tag both of them in my topic it will be easier for the fans of these 2 actors to find my topic. I hope that's a safe example.

However this idea will definitely make discoverability of relevant topics easier.

i would suggest that you retain the existing system but add an option of hashtags or @ just ike in twitter on insta.
this way we can stay in one forum that we want to and also tag the celebs we want to. 😳

the current system is peaceful. if its seggregated on celeb base then it will get very difficult to maintain peace and also to make friends. 😳

also if suppose we divide it fandom wise then for a particular show i will have to follow forums of all the characters...thats a task! 😆

ps - the online offline switch next to the UN was really helpful...it feels strange now. can we go back to old style there? pls? 😳

Thank you sir. I was waiting for this feature because most of the forums I visit have this feature. 😃
This is actually very good for finding the content related to a particular topic even if it spams multiple forum.

Is this feature live on new website? I am waiting to see how this works before any more feedback. 😃

The new feature is most welcome, but I fear few might use it for wrong means as in for creating fan wars. 😕 If can have something for avoding fans war along, bring it on! 😊

P.s: Back in 2005 we used to have chat group and game options, can we have those back please?
