BLUF: Typically, how is the decision made for category vs board vs sub? But initial thoughts...a Dads category.
I typed a rather lengthy post, because really...that's what I do. Lol. I can't help it.
But I deleted before posting to ask a question...what typically are the guidelines for creating a category versus a board within that category versus a sub-board?
After typing my initial response, I realized my first thought was to keep us where we are, but now am leaning toward our own category for a few reasons. The primary one being what is often discussed here which is inclusivity. Those without kids (TTC, CLNBC) wouldn't necessarily identify as parents. So our own category would be sensitive to that instead of being under the parenting umbrella. --though dads/dads to be also runs into that problem.
I had previous felt the category heading then implies multiple boards and really feel for the sake of traffic keeping this small and contained helps, as one board with more threads/posts gives the appearance of greater activity than one post weekly in a million different subs. With so few of us we use threads for what the ladies need boards just to organize things. But that isn't necessary. We don't need all that, now. It can simply be what we have in the Dad/Dad to be category and as the 3 become 3,000 we have the space to expand (ROFL...a guy can dream right? -maybe a first step would be 13?).
