If that's the case, then let me be the first to tell you: <b>Sorry, that's not going to happen.</b>By the way, if you think your thread "disappears fast" HERE, why don't you join up over at the RPF during any given afternoon and count how many *seconds* it sometimes takes your "new" topic on the main forum to reach page 3? Seriously...You guys have no idea how convenient and user-friendly this forum has been throughout the years because of its easy-to-manage, totally obvious setup. Nobody wants to wade through a mountain of categorized section crap. Besides, this forum is an extension of Justin's online business, and <b>nothing</b> more. This forum - in contrast to some others - was not created to house a plethora of other mask makers and boost their sales, provide random news information, offer a means of film series discussion, show off new Freddy glove creations, or ANYTHING else we like to ramble on about. The HMA, RPF, tgif13.com, f13community.com, and Effects Lab are some of the many more appropriate websites for those subjects. Anything not concerning NIGHTOWL's products (which is, again, the prime objective of this website) is technically "off-topic." It's that simple. This sub-forum separation, even with the current larger amount of member activity, has worked extremely well for what - 6 to 8 years now? I know it was like this before the forum switch/updates, so it's been a looooong time.I say it needs NO change whatsoever!Cheers,RyanP.S. - That said, I miss all the old smileys, too!! 
The new ones are inconvenient novelty crap!<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndWell, my main gripe was the amount of topics I could see in one page and someone took care of that. But I believe the thread starter, Amy, has been here quite a while and isn't just a "switch over" from MM.net so that doesn't mean a bunch of former MM.net members are coming here and trying to run the show. I still do feel that we at least need one more section to separate totally off topic stuff and the masks stuff.
