You're co-chairman? :rock3:
Yeah. But Soli does the programming. It would be him restocking the shelfs so to speak. If I went and played with the code we would be in for some hilarious but scary results.

There is no coding involved. You just go to the dashboard and change/merge the forums and give them a name. If by code you mean, changing stuff about the site - then I guess I stand corrected.

There would still be quite a bit of work with organizing these new sections. Maybe not brain surgery, but time consuming.

Been saying this for a while. Lucha Underground deserves its own section more than TNA does at this point.
Lucha Underground doesn't need it's own section - it's one TV show. A Lucha section would be somewhat more sane, but having a TV get it's own section when it has a relativity small audience is not a great move.
Ditto. NJPW, too!
NJPW is good as a thread. Not many people keep up or watch New Japan to have an active section.

Replacing TNA because of no activity with forums that will generate the same results seem a little off. Maybe a Puro section. Indy section. Lucha section and a general wrestling section; we can get rid of all the shiz and have a nice platter. Kind of iffy on the lucha section tbf.

Lucha doesn't need it's own section. We could probably get away with just one section for all none wwe stuff.

That would be horribly mismatched. I would think a Puro section with a New Japan sub-forum. Indie section with a Lucha sub-forum and multiple prefixes (like we have now) and a general wrestling section for general wrestling talk. If anything we need a General Wrestling section to talk just wrestling; it might not be super popular but it could be good to talk about stuff that isn't promotion related.

Not really we only have roughly 6,000 threads in the other wrestling sections, there is double that in General WWE alone. What's better one semi-active section or the three mainly dead ones we have currently?

There's nowhere near enough traffic/content produced to justify a lucha section or a puro section.

As I said earlier. What is needed is a Other American Wrestling section (TNA, ROH, Indies) and an international wrestling section (puro, lucha, european)

Of course WWE is going to tower over every section. This is a WWE forum. Using WWE as a measuring stick for forum activity is like using a sky scraper as a measuring stick for height. I like what Stopspot said, Other Wrestling and International wrestling with prefixes for particular types of wrestling.

I wasn't using WWE as a measure stick, I was showing the amount of content wouldn't lead to it being a mismatch as you put it.
