Ballet? is there something you want to get off your chest so to speak mid?

[Mid]

[dirtydog]

I know exactly what ballet is, its when guys want to show off their bulge to other gays, they take up ballet, 'spose its a good way for gays to meet others

[Mid]

[dirtydog]

Ok, give me a 40 to 60 word description so that people may have an idea of what might be in the forum, ie a forum description.

[Mid]

let me google that 4 ya

The arts is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many expressive disciplines. It is a broader term than "art", which as a description of a field usually means only the visual arts[1] (comprising fine art, decorative art, architecture and crafts). The arts encompasses visual arts, literature, the performing arts, including music, drama, film, dance and related media, and by some definitions other areas such as fashion.[2]

The arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A precise definition of the arts can be contentious, but the following areas of activity usually are included:

• Acting
• Architecture
• Calligraphy
• Conceptual Art
• Crafts
• Culinary art
• Dance
• Decorative art
• Design
• Drawing

• Fashion
• Film
• Graphic arts and Printmaking
• Ikebana
• Invention
• Language
• Literature
• Music
• Opera
• Operetta

• Origami
• Painting
• Performing arts
• Photography
• Poetry
• Prayer
• Sculpture
• Theatre
• Video
• Visual arts

Ikebana (生花 ?, "arranged flower"[1]) is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, also known as kadō (華道 ?, the "way of flowers").

still seems extremely vague, remember we do have idiots on the forum so things need to be simple, although saying that most of them are in mkp

The Nutcracker could be a real hit for some of our members depending on the bent.

Yep simple and appealing to the majority if the forum is to be successful.

I would suggest the forum focus on paintings, sculpture and photography. Performing arts already have a home in multimedia forum.

Some samples of content expected fro our membership.

Indian Art



Japanese Art



Photographic Art



Sculpture

[dirtydog]

We got a photo forum already. and they are all photos?

[friscofrankie]

For what?
The multimedia forum has been the repository for "Arts" type threads such as music and film. There's a "What book are you reading..." thread in there. Don't think there's a ballet thread in there anywhere, though. In effect, the multimedia forum is the "arts" forum. Chanign the name might make it more accurate; but we do have a forum for that stuff.Having it under computers might be a little misleading. I'd support moving & renaming it but the forum does exist, might not have been the idea from the get-go but that's what it has grown into.

[dirtydog]

I think mid really wants a ballet forum, can't they use the multimedia forum for that? also maybe a small subforum in the sports forum, "Cycling in Thailand" Show us your pictures of you in your bicycle shorts.

[Thetyim]

So where do I start my thread "Cycling across Thailand in a Tutu" ?

[Mid]

For what?

something to do with your sig suggested to me you'd be the man

see , there ya go ,

knew you'd be the man

how 'bout it DD ?

[friscofrankie]

It is a popular subject and the bulk of the threads in "multimedia" really could be categorized as "Arts." One of the more delightful subjects of conversation where invective and abuse rarely come about. I do think it a good idea. We now get most "Arts" threads started in there but occasionally they will be started in the lounge, etc.

I think a move & rename would be cool, but the sub-forum for Photoshop... I think moving and renaming the forum is a good idea, but there would be a hole in the Comp forum, albeit a small one.
