Female muscle section - ideas/suggestions

[dendrin]

The pictures portion was divided into 6 sub forums. In each sub forum, there was a separate thread for each celeb, competitor, athlete, etc

Celebrities - the most popular section. Each celeb had a seperate thread
Fitness & bodybuilding women - named competitors of body building and fitness pageants
Athletes - Known athletes like Serena Williams, Jenny Finch, and a lot of WWE wrestling women
Fashion & fitness - similar to Fitness & Bodybuilding, didnt get many posts
Abs and Legs - a pretty niche section, do we want to cover this?
Misc pictures - amateur muscle from around the web (instagram, twitter, etc)

If we are creating an environment looking to entice members of the previous forum, then similar categories to herbiceps is probably a good idea.

But in terms of building up the board, I really would merge the last two (Ab & Legs and Misc) . Additionally I would be tempted to get rid of “Fashion and Fitness” as I feel the majority of that could be classified as “Celebrities”, “Fitness and BodyBuilding” and “Athletes” with “Misc” picking up the rest of the slack.

In this case, less is probably more. And this way you should be able to cater for both veterans, and those generally interested in Strong Women on the current forum.

Why have Ab, Leg and Misc? I am confused. Where would biceps go, or back muscles? I have never seen the Herbiceps site, so I do not know how they handled it.

By the way, as I recall, Herbiceps was formed by a few guys who were on the Diana the Valkyrie site in the 1990s.

Ah DianaTheValkryie... , before the days of yahoo groups!

And I guess I?m this example ?misc? or ?general? would be for everything else (not just abs and legs).. I can see the need to replicate the old forum. But personally I am still of the belief of ?less is more? and if too many sections are created you could essentially be left with dead or redundant sections?

Perhaps biceps (which I may falsely believe to be the most popular topic, or maybe that is just my interest?), abs, back muscles etc may be suited to specific threads?

I totally agree it will make it easy to explore the forum and find what we looking for.
