Can we give M&A some subforums please?

I know this has been brought up before with B/S/T, and it would be great if it happened there too, but M&A could use some organization and uncluttering and shouldn't be forgotten. I'd like to propose 4 new "sub-forums" to separate all the broad topics that are put in there. It's not asking for much (or at least I hope its not!) and with site update time coming around in a few months i'd be nice to include it in the process. Anyways, I nominate the following four categories:

Photo/Video: With the new HDSLRS coming out, the line between photography and cinematography is growing closer and closer. Both have very similar elements and overlap in several areas, but their still will be space for each to have specific topics regarding either/or.

Music and Art: I'll admit that I'm a huge photo/video nerd. I love going to dedicated forums and reading all I can about them. Recently there has been a ton of music threads in the media and arts (which aren't a bad thing, I love getting new music from other people!), but I'd be nice to collect them up in a separate subforum to make finding things that people want much easier. Art projects, such as visual media and shirt designs, would fit well in here too and give them some space to talk amongst themselves.

Critique and Contests:This thread would be for posting your works, be it music, videos, photos, that you wish to gain constructive criticism and feedback as to how you can improve your work. The contest threads would also go great in here and would remove some of the clutter (several threads for each does speed M&A up!), and make voting easier to find and do.

M&A B/S/T Photo, video, music, and art gear is hard to sell and find among the billions of XL SAGA SALE and WTB JIBERISH!1! threads. It would be awesome to have a nice corner when this type of gear could be sold and those that are looking for it could go to without having to search through several pages of clutter.

Feedback and opinions would be great, hopefully we could get this ball rolling!

There are only 44 active M&A threads in the past 24 hours. That forum just doesn't get enough traffic to merit being broken into four different parts.

I'm down. Since nobody goes to it changing it wouldn't really effect a lot of NS either... may just gain more traffic...

True, but changing it up a little to possibly grab more attention to the forum isn't a bad idea either. I'd be down to see some change in there.

first nsg needs to be split into subforums.

those should be: shit not relevant to anything and very 4chan esque and legitimate threads not dealing with skiing.

but for real, this could be cool. i wouldn't really notice because i don't go into m&a that much, but i see where you're coming from for sure jamie

good idea, the m&a is suited for such a wide variety of content, i think it's a great idea to split it....

haha what?! dude nsg it what it is. the only way it'll improve is if the posters stop treating it the way they do. i really don't think splitting it up would do anything. only give them a bigger playground lol.

This, and I really don't want to sort through 4 threads instead of one.  This idea is awful.

I think its fine how it is, if we split it up ill never look at the other shit. Plus, if you want a dedicated photo/video forum just go to dvxuser, way more knowledge there anyways.

i often wondered if changing where each section is located on the bar would make a difference as to how often i, and perhaps others, frequent those forums.

agreed. example, nsg is placed directly below the forum button when you mouseover it. move media and arts there. see what happens.
