Different kind of division in the Lost forum

    As we all know, Season 2 has started in America, its around the corner here in Ireland and a long time away in Britain. My proposition is that we divide the Lost forum into 3, US, IRL and UK. There will be a moderator for each subforum and severely reduces the risk of stumbling upon a spoiler that you didn't want to see. It would also eliminate the need for trolling through all the threads to find the appropriate one. What are everyone elses views on this?

    Ahhhhhhh...how can you divide the forum into 3? Create 2 more forums?? Doubt that would happen,not to mention very little people watching on Channel 4. Also I think the system here works perfectly fine. It doesn't take too muc effort to look and see if there is a US,UK or IRL tag on a thread title.

    That would be a good idea. However the system in use now works well enough (as long as people put either US/IRL/UK in the thread title).

    It's a matter of preference i suppose, either way would suit me. I'm happy enough to have a great Lost forum like we do.

    Honestly.... is there one person here who's watching the show on Channel 4?! I'm be feckin' amazed if there was!! :D

    In my opinion, making subforums for US / IRL seems too much of a bother. For instance.. what if we cast news that applied for both US / IRL viewers - where would we post that?!

    The system right now is working perfectly fine, as long as people stick to it and keep prefixing your thread titles with "US / IRL" and don't go thread spoiling IRL threads with information from US episodes currently airing!

    Worst. Idea. Ever. Seems completely pointless tbh. I doubt the UK threads would get much action anyway.

    I like the idea but it would be hard to implement. As said already, where do you post info that applies to both IRL and US viewers?
    The only problem I have with the current system is that people include info in the thread titles that I don't want to know. For example "Similarities with The Third Policeman", "US: Walts Mom" and "US: Walts "Speech"" are all titles that I don't want to be reading.
    I'm particularly annoyed that the Third Policeman one wasn't marked "US". I read that one. :mad: Seriously, I don't want to know anything about season 2 before I see it. I'd be happy if the titles for threads could have stricter rules. That's my 2c anyway.
