Get rid of Gaming ... we're not kids.

[Gromit]

I would lose football and pets.

I would make Home & Garden into two sections rather than two subsections.

[Hopkirk]

I'm confused by the detail in the question Ed, is football a sub topic of Sport, or a topic on it's own now?

There seems to be a contradiction.

[ummmm]

Looks like a sub topic, Hopkirk, because of >>

Talbot I think the business plan is to encourage the younger people to join AB. Hence the new format for phone and ipad friendly set up.

[Hopkirk]

Ummmm, at the bottom it says:

[Gromit]

Politics questions get posted in News so that should go a a section and a subsection also.

[ummmm]

Oh yeah...

[jno]

football could be a subsection of religion...

[ladybirder]

You're right jno.

I like Pets don't get rid of that please.

[-Talbot-]

How about a ...

'It's my thread so it is news' topic?

[DTCwordfan]

that is one of the best contributions that you have made, Talbot.

As to religion, I would have a category Muslim bashing & misunderstanding.

Perhaps we should have a temp category for the following 4 months titled 'Hills versus Straw-head.'

[melv16]

Could we have a Victoria Coren Mitchell section, please ;-)

[Hopkirk]

Down boy!

[DTCwordfan]

there's no sex corner, I see, melv......

[Tilly2]

Don't think Home and Gardens requires sub sections.

[Tilly2]

Take out Relationships and Dating.

That would get rid of a lot of the juvenile Americans. So.......

[melv16]

We could have a pottery section..big jugs are an interest of mine;-)

[Tilly2]

Pottery, now you're talking, Melv.

[AB Editor]

Offers & Comps, we can remove.

I was thinking we could turn the "ed's blog" into a "MetaBank" kind of thing - so it's for all general discussion regarding ab, questions, etc?
