well, I have a little time now to respond now, so I'm going try and get some of my thoughts down...
I understand your (Yoda and Tacitus) concerns with the development of segregation/cliques/grouping that may arise as a direct result of adding sub-genres, and my rebuttal is simple, these cliques are already present on this board and widespread in cinema/film in general...I know the former maybe hard to swallow for the vet's on this board but it is true...I know from being a newbie not too long ago

anyway, I know you thoughts and intentions are good natured but I must say, just because a forum is of general discussion, it will not prevent any cliques from forming...Tacitus mentioned "comfort zones" and this is a key point...if someone ventures onto this board and can not immediately find a comfort zone, why would they stay?? he also mentioned one site had so many that it was overwhelming, but it does not need to be so divided...I'm not suggesting we make so many divisions that we end up with a crime-drama, a period-drama, and a docu-drama forum...but the main ones would be nice: drama, comedy, horror, sci-fi fantasy...
The notion that people aren't posting things here because there isn't a forum dedicated is utter horseradish, too. There are very general forum topics here. If you're too timid to post your thread about bullet wounds in Tarantino films outside the Bullet Wounds In Tarantino Films Forum, then odds are you aren't going to post one anyway.
