Just wondering if India Forum needs a little organisation : couple of points,
1) Possible we could arrange to have threads in the strategic thread divided on world zones...its hard to follow world news and discuss issues from various countries all in a single thread.
Separate threads for Pakistan, Bangladesh are a must, even if forum participation right now is low...the biggest headlines and discussion can be archived much more effectively than trying to analyse news from various countries.
A)World zones theads could be :
1) A pakistan thread (already active)
2) A Bangladesh thread
3) A Nepal/Bhutan and NE thread
4) A Middle East thread
5) A SE Asia thread
6) China

One for the west ie Central asia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and one for SE asia...makes discussions easier and doesn't let us skip important articles.
C) Im not sure how members feel but often a thread generates into a Huge book of full articles with pages and pages that a member has to read before getting a gist of what the thread is about before posting.
Indeed its readability quotient decrease dramatically and members rapidly shift to other threads that seem concise and interesting. Perhaps if we post Article Links and Short Important summaries....that would be much more readable and easier to scan. Unless of course the article cannot be archived and then posting full is needed...saves bandwidth as well...
D) Perhaps threads that are really not taking off need to be deleted?
E) Notice that the Forum rules has disappeared, possible to erect it on the front page?
F)How do we push India Forum up the google Charts?? or get it better known??
Id like to say that thanks admins for your time and work, we've all got other jobs to do im sure and they give up valuable time to police the forum. Of course we already provide more information and analysis than any paki forum on the net! Hopefully we can spend more time to ensure that this forum grows, id like to start and maintain a Nepal/Bhutan/NE thread and will do so shortly...but im eager to see a Kaushalji special with a Sindhu Saraswati civilisation thread...!!
