Discussion: Forum name

theducks · 09-02-2010, 12:12 PM

The forum name is "Astak EZReader"
But there is a lot of discussion about an entirely different Astak product lines, "The Mentor". (and to a lesser degree, the book store.)

Should we ask for a rename (Astak e-Readers?) or a split into sub forums to avoid confusion?
Some things are common to the devices. Other things are way different.
Example:
Jennifer asked about firmware update suggestions. We started with suggestions for the PEz and the EZReader. All of a sudden, the Mentor folk made requests for stuff that will not fit the EZ lines

,
Confusion.

I don't have experience with forums, but I run an LJ comm, and I found it's sometimes useful to have different threads in a discussion from the start, not just ones that pop up spontaneously. Since Astak has diferent lines of e-readers and an e-book store, perhaps it would be best to have the forum named Astak, with subforums for e-books, Mentor, and the EZ readers. I think the name change would be justified, but does the forum have enough people for the subdivision?

[And look, I'm a zealot now!]
