<quietly shelves plans for "Engines of War and Fried Pastries" forum>
tinwe, this is a short-term thing, since the board structure will probably come under discussion before we move. Everything will have to be set up over again at that point in the new place, so that's a natural time to make changes.
Even so, I think it's reasonable to add a subforum for both games and hobbies at this point. Assuming that happens, let's see how it shakes out. If the subforum turns out to be really overfull, the membership could discuss splitting it as part of the restructuring when we move.
As for whether music is a hobby or something for the music forum, probably threadstarters will know what feels right to them.
As I understand it, threads about LotR the movie would go in the ME forum, as would discussions of the Silmarillion, reviews of new Tolkien-related books, LotR soundtrack discussions, and the deep inquiry into bad Tolkien art I've been dying to launch.
