The Mead Hall doesn't look to be really what I had in mind. It appears as if things are mixed up now.
To answer you: from the looks of it, it would probably not be viable since many do not respond here and advocate it (though it does not have to mean a lot). But its viability is still uncertain and cannot be explicitly ascertained at the moment.

The Backroom is irrelevant and -- most likely -- fine as it is.

Regarding the main point in the original post: if this be done it would allow greater specific categorization. Whether THIS is viable or not I do not know with 100% certainty. But the fact that it allows greater specific categorization remains. To test its viability the only certain way would be to carry it out and observe the honest and true results.

The Frontroom has all kinds of topics indeed. It is off-topicish and is a correct place to have topics about music, bands, TV, radio, books, etc. (all things media-related and usually not self-created). Maybe bigger rearrangement of things would be required. But again the idea proposed would allow greater categorization and clarity -- perhaps even encourage posting in these newly-created fora. Who knows what greatness this would spawn?

What do we need an off-topic forum for if we make forums for all of the possible different bits of off-topic discussion? I think we're fine as we are.

Yeah, but look at all the "Best Band" threads... They'd go in the Media Forum, I guess.
The Frontroom was finer before. I remember Andres saying he had to dig for the Happy Birthday thread... That's ridiculous.

It's a phase. Most of those threads have their genesis in one very small part of the universe. This is true of most rapid fire thread postings, which on the whole, are discouraged, but not forbidden unless they get out of hand.

As for the Birthday Thread being hard to find, there is a sticky thread with links to some of the more oft used general threads.

I used the Links to popular threads-thread.

I used the words "I had to dig this thread up" in the meaning of: "OMG, it's Banquo's birthday! I cannot allow this event passing by unnoticed! I háve to post in the Happy Birthday Thread!".

Sorry for the misunderstanding

On a side note and slightly off topic: alot of people often seem to miss this handy tool, maybe we need a sticky in the Frontroom, entitled "Link to the Links to popular threads thread"...
