I don't think it's a big secret, but we're making this whole forum up ninja-style as we go along; as ninjas of the forum yourselves, I trust you'll promise not to tell anybody. I also trust you're willing to help us on this next mission
To put it in a bento- We grow and change the forum all based around what you guys want it to be, and what we ourselves can do. We were talking today about the way we've organized the forum. Things like the number of different subforums, their titles, their descriptions, the way our moderator names show up on them, etc. Since we're pretty adamant about this being your forum, we'd really like to know what you have to say about it. We don't want to change something if it turns out you guys were loving it. We don't want to let any thorns in your sides left un-pulled either. So, what do you guys think? What do you like about the way we've organized the forum? What don't you like? Is there anything confusing about the way we've organized it? Have you had any problems with finding the topics you'd want to read, or where to make topics of your own? Do the titles of the sub forums suck? Are their descriptions confusing? Are there too many? Too few? Is it too hard to get around? Too... easy? Anything else worth asking that I forgot? Personally, we think we might have made too many, and are looking to condense some. I don't mean we're going to delete any subforums and your precious posts that are in them, but group the smaller ones together into one big one so you guys aren't always picking and hunting through them. On my list so far-
...well ninjas? What's your nindo on this?

My suggestion is to organize as follows.
Official forum rules and policies, and announcements. ONLY MODS MAY MAKE A TOPIC Official Viz News and Press releases. ONLY MODS MAY MAKE NEW TOPICS Naruto Discussion (No posting here only subforums. ----> Naruto General Discussion (Discuss Naruto Characters, the Naruto world, or other general stuff here, spoilers abound.) ----> Naruto Anime Discussions (Discussion of the anime specifically) ----> Naruto Manga Discussions (Discussio of the manga specifically.) ----> Naruto Merchandise Discussions (Discussion of naruto clothes, wallscrolls, ect.) ----> Naruto Video Game Discussions (Discussion of naruto video games.) ----> Character Battles and Polls (All polls and charater vs character talk goes here.) Help, Questions, and Feedback (No posting here only subforums) ----> Technical help. (Ask for help if you are having a technical problem. ----> Questions (As a question to viz or about the site, or anything else you think someone can help you with. ----> Feedback (a place to give and get feedback.) General Discussion (No posts here, just subforums) ----> Viz anime. (Viz licenced anime) ----> Non-Viz anime. (All other anime) ----> Forum Games. (Forum games go here) ----> Western film and comics. (Anything made in america (including avatar) goes here) ----> Off topic. (Everything else.) (Edited for formatting.) (Edited 4/16 with itasan's suggestions) Just to clarify, people can post a reply in the first two Forums just no make new threads.

Also, there are way to many global announcements. It takes away from their "BOOM" factor.
Nine-Tailed Forum Rules - ALL NEW USERS PLEASE READ should stay. All others could be moved into their respective threads and stickied. Announcements and Global announcements should be used sparingly.

Yeah, there are lot of topics that are outside their respective subforums, so if one of you could move them all to their appropriate subforums , that'd be great!

With my outline there would be 2 Forums only mods started topics on. 1 for forum buisiness and one for clarifications from viz. There are then 3 forums to choose from: Naruto Discussions Questions Feedback and Help Everything Else It makes sense to me someone can figure out which of those 3 broad choices they want. Once a person clicks they get a list of all that areas specific forums. They cannot make a new topic in the big forum but instead have to pick one of the subforums to ask their question. For example "I wanna talk about how Gaara can whoop Tsunade's butt." Thinks Little Billy as he goes to the Naruto forums. Well lets see... of Naruto Discussions, Questions Feedback and Help, or Everything Else... The first seems right so he clicks. He now sees a list of subforums and he cannot make a new topic. ----> Naruto General Discussion (Discuss Naruto here, spoilers abound.) ----> Naruto Anime Discussions (Discussion of the anime specifically) ----> Naruto Manga Discussions (Discussio of the manga specifically.) ----> Naruto Merchandise Discussions (Discussion of naruto clothes, wallscrolls, ect.) ----> Naruto Video Game Discussions (Discussion of naruto video games.) ----> Character Battles and Polls (All polls and charater vs character talk goes here.) He now has to read this list and figure out where to go to post his topic. I think this type of structure will streamline things and help keep similar topics together.

User Ranking System - Help Us Make One!
Poll: How Do You Want the Forum Organized? These two belong in the forum section. Started by mods with people replying. This is why mods only starting threads in the forum dedicated to official forum stuff is important. Nothing would get lost in the shuffle if every thread was where the mods asked for out input. The Official "When's the Naruto Dub Going to Finish?" Thread The Official "When's the Shippuden Dub Coming Out?" Thread Would go in the "Official Viz Answers" forum which probably only mods should be able to post in. If people want to discuss and official position someone will make a thread about where that can happen. The "Official Answers" Forum would be a "quick and dirty" way to see the official stance on stuff. Just topics posted by mods with Viz's opinion of that issue.

Disclaimer: How I think forums should be organized is by no means the right way. I just like to provide supporting arguments for why I have done things a certain way in the past. I usually respond to posts in threads like this with stories of why such an idea did not work for me in the past.
It is not my intent to bully other members or mods to implement my suggestions. I just have gone through some of these growing pains before.

I was talking with my friend and she said on Gmail or something there was a ninja background, so are you thinking of doing something like that or do you mean organized as in where forms and topics go?

These are all great suggestions... the only one I would make may not even be feasable, but I'll ask anyway.. could there be something like a category search? For example, if you wanted to see every listing for Kakashi, type it in and all the forum headings with Kakashi would come up?
