[Suggestion] Food/Lifestyle board? :o

What if we had a board where we could talk about various food/desert/drink recipes?

Also, this could be where we can talk about Health and Fitness type stuff. The main reason for this is, that I do believe that health and fitness are very important. I have seen that a lot of people who are into video games and computers are not always interested in their health. Some of these people, and maybe even you, may spend all day on your computer or in front of the TV, drinking several cans of sodas and eating junk food.

This may be fine when you're 16; you may feel perfectly healthy and not be putting on any weight, but it is still not good for you. This won't last forever, and if you're young, you may actually be hindering your body's development. [/rant]



bad idea?

There isn't enough discussion of said topics for any need of their own board.

No one would use it and it would die.

There was only one recipe thread a while back, and that went inactive.

Health, lifestyle and fitness, three words almost unheard of for the average ZU member!

As far as I can tell, it won't happen.

I vote no.

Why? Because you said "food". It already drives me crazy with the number of polls just to ask "Which soda do you like more" or "What's your favorite ice cream flavor". And if you put a board specifically for that kind of thing it would only cause more of them to appear. And I think that would be more annoying then helpful.

Or, if that's not the kind of thing you were expecting to see there, then yeah. Not enough interest in it.

I don't think so. General Chit-Chat is good enough for those threads; there aren't enough of them to warrant a separate forum for them, and most of ZU's population is in the mid-teens age group, so I doubt there'd be too much discussion of those topics even if we did open a special forum for them. You might want to look up another community if you want to talk about those sorts of things extensively.

What a silly idea this was.

DELETE THIS THREAD

Laikra, I don't think that it was a silly idea.



It's not the first time that something like this was suggested.

I don't think that it's a completly ridiculous idea, but I don't think it would be particually popular.

I for one love food and try to stay on top of my fittness, so I would probally be around the place quite a bit. However, not if no one else is going to visit, which I fear would happen.

Besides, if somone decides that they arn't interested in Lifestyle, they're just make a point of ignoring the board. If however, a topic on exercise methods comes up on General Chat, then BAM- it's right in their face and they're more likey to click it.

So, yeah, no. Nice idea though.

I'd be fine with it, but what we need is a section for any and all of Discussion's threads.

QUOTED FOR TRUTH!

Did I emphasize that enough?

We have plenty of boards.
