Scratch

Am I allowed to post a story I wrote here?

Still, I think there should be a opinion section, another reason being, that the Making and Creating section is ok, but the reading and playing section doesn't really apply to me, since I read books, but don't play a lot of games, and I'm not really into games.

What about renaming the Making and Creating section "Creativity"?

Both forums also sound like Twittery type topics if you know what I mean. I don't like those kind of topics, and thankfully, not many of those have been made yet, but both titles seem to make it sound so, especially to new members.

What is your opinion on this? 

As veggie said, Reading and Playing is more than just books / games. The name doesn't really make that clear all that well - we agree. But we haven't heard a better suggestion yet.

One way we broke it down was: Creating (for MaC) and Consuming (for RaP). Creativity isn't bad, but it might suggest that the stuff in the other (Scratch related) forums isn't creative, which it is. "Creating" might work as well though.

But "Consuming" has some negative connotations... but perhaps you or other Scratchers can suggest a better term? We'd love to hear it.

I am SO writing that!

I like these forums much better than Misc.

I understand, but I just thought that I don't want to be part of a forum that only centres around playing games, but now I understand what you mean, creating and consuming.

And I agree that consuming has a bad image, especially to some people, but what about "Other Creative Interests" for the MaC forum? I'd like to know what you think about that

It's not bad. Do you think it would be too open ended? We went for "making and creating" because it implies a certain level of commitment. To make something takes at least a little energy and oomph. To have a creative interest is really easy. Seems like you could just say "I have a creative interest in [insert anything you want to talk about]. Discuss."

True true, MaC is a bit redundant like sci said... so... dilemma

News Flash!
Because of the confusion with the forum title in TiRaP (Things I'm Reading and Playing) and the "Playing" of sports, we've decided to move all sports topics over to TiRaP, regardless of whether you are watching or participating in them.  Hopefully that will make things a bit more clear-cut and easier to understand.

Ok

You should add "Doing" to things I'm Making and Creating

I could make a joke here, but I'd get banned if I did.

Aaaaanyway, things you're taking part in also fits in here, if I understand correctly.

Would a topic on making mixtapes go here?

Yeah, that would count as something you're "Making or Creating."

True, but it involves listening to music as well because people could post the tracklists for their mixes for other people to listen to.

I'll just wait for a mod to answer, thanks 

I guess it would depend on what exactly you were discussing. If you were going to discuss and share the tracklists, you'd put it in the reading and playing forum. But, if you wanted to discuss making them, you'd put it here.
