Non-formal hairstyle board?

Hi all,

We get lots of requests for different forums all the time but the problem is that once we put them up people don't support them by posting or developing solid threads. So then we are left with the dilemna of removing them or leaving them to languish on the vine.

HairTalk was originally designed to talk about any type of hair. Short hair, long hair, updos, hot trends, color....etc., Yes...we have not broken up the topics into as many categories as some might like because we were not sure that those topics would be posted to or supported.

And yes, this is my biggest concern.

You might also notice that people tend to post all over the place and not follow the subject threads....which is OK......but also makes me resist new topic areas.

As an example.....HairBloopers were designed for people to share blooper stories but instead people post problems with their hair, even though HairTalk was supposed to be for that as well. The same is true with Personals. It was designed to be a Meet n Greet board but people also post about hair problems. Actually they post all over about hair problems including Celebrity Hair which is the one board I try to keep totally focused on Celebrity Hair talk.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care at all that people post outside of the subject threads...most of the time....but it does happen and I suspect it may be because we have too many threads and people just post where they feel most comfortable. Which is definitely fine with me.

I am not convinced that if we added threads for short hair or for casual hair that we wouldn't still have the same issues. See what I mean?

At any rate, I am always open to new thread ideas but I am going to wait and see how the new ones do before I add any more. In the meantime, I hope people will use HairTalk for general hair info.

And yes....as Robert pointed out (thank you so much) ....we have many galleries and over 2,500+ articles about hair styling and care....so hopefully we have most of the topics covered.

We are going to try and work on our galleries next but it will be a major undertaking.

I appreciate the feedback though. It helps me see what all of you are thinking with regard to the site. We try our best but do appreciate help from our many visitors and their ideas.

Best wishes,

I noticed there are 3 boards for formal hairstyles, but what about casual?

I like the new setup!
