Topic: Question Posted: 12-Aug-2004 at 00:39 |

If people seperated them I could do articles about North American natives and African antions to put some substance in them.
Right now I am capable of writing about Ethiopia, Mali, Moorish SPain, Kongo, and Nubia, plus Iroquois confederacy and Indian wars.
Soon I hope to be able to write of Lenape, Ghana, Benin, Zimbabwe adn stuff. I would appreciate any help if this becomes a possibilty

How about the United States of America and Canada? Are those two nations included since they are part of the Americas?

I'm a strong believer that either topic split up should be geography
based, ie, one for each continent, maybe split Asia in two, or have a
seperate Islamic world or whatever, or it should be done on the basis
of time peroid.
Not a mix of both, too many forums, and well, too complex.
So thats something we might want to consider, right now, before there are too many topics floating around.

Hello!
I agree with Tobodai and anujkhamar. We should split this section into two new ones.

I agree with Cywr. It will make the fourm looks as if it had more threads and thus prospering- which will attract more forumers. Just like how in US everything is like 9.99, 4.99 without counting tax. A psycological trick in other words.

I seem to have neglected Africa there though
Hmm, We need to make up our minds, Geography, or time, but not both.
Khakhan (or whatever his new name is) mentioned that there is a feature
for sub forums, maybe we could have a simple 5 continent look on the
main page, and within each continent/regional division, we can havw sub
forums for time peroid and/or regions within that continent (would be
needed for Asia because its so huge).
Furthermore it might be possible to say, for the Islamic Empires thing,
to have the sub-forum listed in both Europe, Africa and Asia (seeing as
all 3 continents were parts of various Islamic Empires) and so on, and linked to the same one.
Gonna reply to Khakhan's therad in the meeting hall, i suggest we
continue this discussion there, as it is more visible, and concerns
more than just this forum.

Hi Tonifranz:
The India, Americas forums covers the ancient history of those regions, just as the medieval forums studies Europe on an specific period of time.

I still think those areas should get their own threads.

Cywr is right....
If we create a separate Indian Forum, then if I want to make a thread
about the Mogul Empire, or the Delhi Sultanate, would I put it there,
or in the Islamic forum?

Islamic History is primarily dedicated to Middle East so I assume you would put it in the India section...

You're a mod, you can change it can't you?

Moguls ruled over India n Delhi {N.Delhi} is the capital city of India so I guess u would put it in Indian forum.
