Hey everyone
It's been two month since the last board clean-up and we're re-evaluating another batch of boards. Some changes have already been made, some are being made this week, and some are still under discussion. The changes that have been completed were made after discussion with the mod and g-mod team.
When considering which boards needed to be reviewed, we primarily looked at boards with fewer than 1,000 posts that have had limited amount of recent activity
Completed Changes
The Attachment Parenting board has been deleted. Most of the posts were moved to Babywearing
The Babywearing board was also deleted. Threads have been moved to Cloth Diapers, which is now named Cloth Diapers, Babywearing and More
Parenting > 35 has been deleted. The threads were moved to Parenting
2 under 2 has been deleted. The threads have been moved to Parenting
Pending Changes/This Weekend Changes
Gardening will be moving to Health and Home
Large Families will be deleted. Threads will be moving to Parenting
High Risk Pregnancies will be deleted. Threads will be moved to Pregnancy
Changes under consideration
We are trying to figure out what to do with Single Parents, Blended Families, and Military Families.
One proposed solution is to have a new "non-nuclear families" board that would encompass single parents, blended families, families facing long absence of one parent, widow/widower situations, extended-family guardianship, and multi-generational households.
We want to be sensitive to the needs of newly-single parents, and for that reason Single Parents will either remain as a stand-alone board or it will be a sub-board of the new "non-nuclear families" board. We're also open to name suggestions for "non-nuclear families" because it just sounds awkward and clunky.
Other Changes
At the current time we are not considering any other board consolidation, but if you happen to be a lurker/poster of another board that falls under the less than 1,000 post threshold and you believe your board would be better served as a sub-board of another more frequently visited board, please let us know!
