Question about threads being moved...

Really quick..

I'm not sure who moves threads, but I have a question for you...

Why is it that my Zone thread got moved to Diet and Fitness and Wedding related threads don't get moved to LIW?

I totally understand posting celebrity pics in the celebrity section, and fashion threads in the fashion section, but I put my thread in NFR for a reason.

I personally don't frequent the Diet and Fitness board very often, yet I was curious to know if anyone was on the Zone. So knowing NFR got a lot of traffic, I posted it there. Who's to say everyone on the Zone Diet visits the Diet & Fitness section?

Just curious.. THANKS

No one? I guess the thread fairy swoops in and makes the call themselves? Fair enough.. Chat Icon

I think that is the point. To get more traffic to the board.

I would doubt that they are linked together that they could move posts from one site to another. That would mean that everyone that has a user on one site would have the same user on the other site.

Ok, listen, I wasn't being literal when I was saying wedding threads should be moved to LIW.. my point is, this is not a wedding board, why are their wedding related questions here? If my thread gets moved, why aren't those deleted?

So no one should talk about their wedding... Or I shouldn't say that I went to my cousins wedding on saturday at the fox hollow. Honestly I don't see that many wedding threads on here Chat Icon

I understand. I agree that this is not a wedding planning site, but LIW has changed dramatically - or at least it has since I used it to plan. Many times fights break out over the dumbest things & no one can get an honest opinion. I think a lot of the posters here feel more comfortable asking us questions since most of us are BTDT brides.

I was on LIW not too long ago helping my sister plan her wedding & I gave an opinion on something as a BTDT bride & GOT FLAMED. I was called cheap, tacky, and unrealistic about my wedding. Um, if it happened how unrealistic was I? It was not pretty so I think alot of the BTDT brides have left.

Re: Question about threads being moved...

i just went and read your thread on Diet and Fitness - honestly, i don't think it should have been moved at all - "Zone Chefs" isn't really about dieting, or is it? Chat Icon Chat Icon i thought it was meal plans Chat Icon (i guess because the word 'Diet' is in the title, the little thread fairy was quick with her wand...Chat Icon )

in any event, instead of posting a thread about why it got moved, i think you would have just been better off doing a XPost back here on NFR - that way you'll cover both bases Chat Icon Chat Icon

Wedding post example aside - I think that your thread got moved because your thread fit directly into the subject matter of another board. You asked about a diet. There is a diet board. I would think that anyone that is on a diet, or that would like to discuss diets, would goto the diet board because that is where all of the diet related information and support is.

Just my opinion...

No, they can talk about their wedding.. but on LIW.. wouldn't that be more appropriate? By all means.. post about your cousin's wedding.... on LIW where it belongs Chat Icon

Again, my point isn't about wedding threads, and how it turned there I have no clue.. I'm really just trying to understand why some get moved and others don't. I can use a different example if that'll help...

It seems to me that almost everything gets moved. Make-up & facial questions get moved to fashion, Celeb stuff gets moved to the celeb boards. Things like "Check out my new bedding" gets moved to home. I think it is all around.

WELL LIF is not LIW. I don't goto LIW anymore. Don't like it.


NOW if there was a WEDDING BOARD ON LIF then all the wedding threads would get moved!

Seriously why are you upsed about this? Chat Icon

Actually, it started about the Zone Chef meal plan... then it got into how much money you spend a month on food.. so all in all, I think I shoudl be in both sections like Mrs Erod mentions above.. GOOD CALL! Chat Icon

I think posts that have a clear designation of a subject, and there is a separate board for that subject, get moved to that board.
