I'm considering creating two more specialist messageboards. One called The Blokes' Shed for men/big-boy topics. The other a specialist Women's topics thread. Suggestions welcome for the messageboard name (somthing concise, catchy and witty). They would both be places where men's/women's issues could be discussed in threads that wouldn't be buried by all the stuff in this MAIN messageboard on the group. Your thoughts on this, please.
Something else....with the way this group is setup, it is actually possible to move an entire thread from one messageboard to another. So say for example, someone posted a thread about some food or beverage topic on this General Forum messageboard and it became an ongoing topic that people wanted to refer back to occasionally way into the future. Rather than leave it to get buried in this messageboard amongst all the news stories debate and politics biffo and all the other stuff that gets posted in here, the group administrators could simply pick up the entire thread and shift it to The Crockpot messageboard. The thread would stay exactly the same, but it would merely move locations. It's quite a neat trick, actually....  |

For starters I think the mens catagory should be called The Tool Shed  |

Why not just call it "The Women's Room" after the 1977 Novel by Marilyn French - or does no one remember the book  |

What I had in mind for the blokes' forum was somewhere for threads about things like classic aeroplanes, classic cars, hunting, fishing, jokes about wimin, stuff like that. Somewhere where us blokes could post threads about stuff that interests us without it being buried amongst all the stuff on the General Forum messageboard.
And then I thought; “would the wimin get upset if us blokes had our own special forum and they didn't?” Hence the reason why I suggested a dedicated women's issues messageboard.

As a woman with her own tool kit, pliers and srewdrivers in the kitchen drawer and a large stash of yarn, cotton, knitting needles, crochet hooks, embroidery supplies and a brand new sewing machine. I am not entirely sure which camp I would sit in.
BTW a soldering iron is great for perminantly labling the plastic parts of school stationery, pens, rulers, protractors etc. Much better than using a file, files only do straight letters well.

I suggest for the women's category.
GYNOECIUM
It would accord to women a sophistication and erudition one doesn't normally credit them with.

Perhaps then an appropriate name for the men's group would by Androgym  |

Anyway....the group's stats (accessible from the homepage) state that the male to female ratio at this group amongst the registered members is 1:1.
