Forum Structure

[iloverainbows]

Hello.

I know there is already a topic about changing the 'weight loss' section to a 'health' section. Well I think that is very good but Ankur hasn't replied to it yet! So this is the thread to invite people to make suggestions about the whole structure of the forum because I think the forum is lovely and could be lovlier. As the forum has grown and we have grown, I think it would be good to add / change / merge some sections, to make it more user friendly:

Here are some of my suggestions:

Change weight loss to be 'physical body health'

Merge the wealth and abundance sections as both relate to physical abundance and are very intertwined

Add a section on any techniques that are 'not strictly' LOA, but can work alongside it - such as EFT, quantam jumping, energy healing, radical forgiveness

Under 'how to use' add sections for techniques as well as vision board - such as subliminal messaging, neural linking, making mind movies

Expand the Quantum Physics section to be about any evidence of LOA in the scientific, mystical tracts, philosophy. Also make it a section for dicussing HOW LOA works, and debating and bringing evidence, sharing articles and information.

Relook at the one liners and gurus section. Could the one liners be put with the 'how to use' section? Or perhaps a new section called INSPIRATION, where people could go in and look at movies / songs / quotes that are inspiring? And the gurus section might go with Quantum Physics section in  order to discuss what they say, or with the reviews section.

Add sections on LOA in areas of life other than relationships, health, and abundance. For example, manifesting experiences - such as if someone wanted to swim with dolphins or eat in the fanciest restaraunt in Paris! Also for talents, like if I wanted to become an excellent piano player. And projects, such as if someone wanted to start their own magazine.

Make it clear what the difference between the two shout boxes is, or merge them into one. The one up the top of the screen says 'administrator only', yet everyone talks in there. The one at the right hand side is similarly used for chat. What's the difference between the two?

These are my ideas so far; Ankur I may also PM you about something else I'd like.

Regards,
Iloverainbows

I was having a call with Bal few days ago and this is waht i was asking her that if we should add some new sections or delete the existing ones, and suddenly this post came answering it all. LOL

Words aitn enough to thank iloverainbows.


When it comes to adding a Section, I am very happy to do. But to merge or Delete an existing section will need some thoughts as the Forum is already indexed in Google Search Engine. If we merge/ delete something, then those links will show Error Message to Visitor and in long run it will effect Forum Ranking in Google.


Sugg 1:

Change weight loss to be 'physical body health'

I think, the best would be to have a broader section "LOA for Health" and subsections under it like "Weight loss" etc.

Ok?



Sugg 2:

Merge the wealth and abundance sections as both relate to physical abundance and are very intertwined

I understand your View. My understanding is, Abundance is not only related to welath/money its a 360 Degree prosperity. I mean being Complete and Abundant in all walks of life.

Wealth is more or less limited to Money (ofcourse with Wisedom :-) )


Sugg 3:

Add a section on any techniques that are 'not strictly' LOA, but can work alongside it - such as EFT, quantam jumping, energy healing, radical forgiveness

Nice suggestion, but i have something else to offer for this. I will seperately PM you the Answer for this, as this will be my next Project.


Sugg 4:

Under 'how to use' add sections for techniques as well as vision board - such as subliminal messaging, neural linking, making mind movies

Point taken. Subliminal Message, ming movies are very good subtopics. what's Neural Linking?

Guys, Any more suggestions for Subsections to add under "How to"? Please?




Sugg 5:

Expand the Quantum Physics section to be about any evidence of LOA in the scientific, mystical tracts, philosophy. Also make it a section for dicussing HOW LOA works, and debating and bringing evidence, sharing articles and information.

Very Mature suggestion. I liked this one. Yes you said it. We need some Documentation, evidance, acadmic stuff things like that.

So you think, we should add subtopics under this?



Sugg 6:

Relook at the one liners and gurus section. Could the one liners be put with the 'how to use' section? Or perhaps a new section called INSPIRATION, where people could go in and look at movies / songs / quotes that are inspiring? And the gurus section might go with Quantum Physics section in  order to discuss what they say, or with the reviews section.

I think its best to add inspirational Videos/Impages in existing sections as per their theme. EG Meditation or affirmation video for weight loss can go in "Weight loss" Section, than to have a seperate section for only VIdeos. Ya?



Sugg 7:

Add sections on LOA in areas of life other than relationships, health, and abundance. For example, manifesting experiences - such as if someone wanted to swim with dolphins or eat in the fanciest restaraunt in Paris! Also for talents, like if I wanted to become an excellent piano player. And projects, such as if someone wanted to start their own magazine.

Nice, i get it. Can you please give me one Catchy word for this Section? So the name itself says it, what this section wil be about.


Sugg 8:

Make it clear what the difference between the two shout boxes is, or merge them into one. The one up the top of the screen says 'administrator only', yet everyone talks in there. The one at the right hand side is similarly used for chat. What's the difference between the two?

lol, the one at top was only for me to shout the announcements. Look like people dnt like my voice here so they pre-emt that already. 'administrator only' did not help. lol
SHould i remove one of those chat Boxed? If yes which one?




These are my ideas so far; Ankur I may also PM you about something else I'd like.

Aha, thaks for bombarding with work this Christmas. Is it what Santa had for me? (Kidding...)


(@All Please refer to the Suggestin Numbers as above to refer them)

[Grateful Sunshine :)]

@ Ankur.. Firstly srry Could not call you back,broke my phone accidently and will get a new one today.Also I think you are quite good with LOA,see you attracted what you wanted in form of feedback and did you say..You were talking to me few days back..Excuse me it was yesterday and few hours back.Do you miss me so much that few hours seem few days to you

Ok srry for the flirt above!!On a serious note,I love the suggestions given by rainbow,offcourse this was your idea too
My take :
1.LOA for health/physical healing is perfect.
2.I agree with Ankur regarding Wealth/Abundance as seperate sections.
3.I will let you lead the answer for your next project..Its awesome idea.
4.Will search for somethings and get back on this topic.
5.Very recently I too went into LOA and Quantam physics section and unfortunately I could not find some interesting article to hold my attention but I am sure we have planty of articles on the internet.Will look for them and we can add those.
6.Agreed
7.Manifesting Unique's Experiences,My Bucket list...not sure if you like these but I am sure I would be the one to participate most on this section as I have full list of doing all random stuff in life.Sneha is a living proof to this.Honestly I believe that its the life's experiences that seperate us from others.
8.The one at extreme right shout section should be removed as far as my opinion goes.But I guess there is a limit in shout section too so I dont want to miss something.

Ankur so much hardwork for you this christmas but I am sure you would do good as always.I am specially excited about your NEXT big project.

[Ginny]

great suggestions.

i don't think you need any subsections under LOA for Health  though - just that heading on its own would be fine.

[Ankur Sancheti]

@All: Please add a Suggestion Number to each of your New Unique Suggestions so we can easily refer to them.

Sugg 9: I think we need a Section Called, "Affirmations". When in we can list our Affirmations or help others to word powerful Affirmations. Right?

You think we should have Subsections under this Affirmation Section? Like....."Affirmation for Health", "Affirmation for Wealth" so on?

[Mariposa, (KnJ)]

Just a thought but maybe add a section on requests for group intentions.  It might be too broad but sort of like "group intention request chains" similar to prayer chains, with requests, but they would need to be somewhat limited to a specific request and person not to an entire list like we did on 11/11/11.  Just an idea.  Love the rest although I think you can keep both chat boxes, just post a "FOR YOUR INFORMATION, CHANGES" post and request that the Administrator box be used for just that! And while you are at it, if you could also request that if someone wants to post asking for assistance or help, that they post an actual post and not "begging and pleading" in our chat box.  They can ask for us to read a specific post and reply, just no crazy stuff like "I am dying, I am going to off myself.......I am done with this world"......I know it's hard to monitor or maybe put into specific suggestions but those posts are very detrimental to our progress with LOA, yes, we do want to help but this isn't the suicide hotline.  We just need to try to keep it a bit more positive around here. 

Great job Ankur!!  Thanks for asking for suggestions and for being willing to help.

Thanks to Bal and especially to Iloverainbows for the wonderful suggestions!

I liked this Sugg very much. So we will have a "Prayer Request Section". Shall we have sub-sections in it or just leave it as a Broad Board?



Sugg 11;

Ok, make sense. I Think though we have covered this Suggestion right above, you are sheded a diffrent light on missuse of Chat boxes.

I am still looking for technical feasiblity to make Chat box "Admin Only".

[Grateful Sunshine :)]

Suggestion 12
Can we also have a section for our blessings which can say..Count your blessings/List things you are grateful for.I really love reading different things people post in topics like this?

[Ankur Sancheti]

Ok, i liked this Point. So you are saying we should have a "I am Grateful For" Section?

[Grateful Sunshine :)]

yes ankur

[Ankur Sancheti]

Sugg 13

I have observed sometimes a post end up into being a Colloborative Planned Activity. Just the same happened with the below thread.

http://www.powerlawofattraction.com/forum/law-of-attraction-for-relationship-6/we-all-struggle

Do you guys think that we should have a Section on Forum wherein we can Comeup with such Colloborative activities in which Many Forum members are Involved?

Just like we had recently the 11-11-11 Activity. Remember?

So, if you think, it makes sense, Can someone Please comeup with some Creative Name for this Section? Please?

[iloverainbows]

Hi Ankur, Bal...and everyone...I'm so glad this post came at the good time!

A few thoughts to reply to your thoughts:

Sugg 1:
I really like the idea of different sections in health...but I still think that 'weight loss' wording the focus is on 'weight', rather than 'being my ideal size', or 'I am happy with my weight'. You know the secret says that saying 'I dont want to be poor' is different than saying 'I want to be rich'...I think it's the same...'weight loss' focuses on 'I want to lose weight', the emphisis is still on the weight you want to lose rather than being ideal size.

Sugg 4:
Neural Linking is a technique from the book 'the answer', which was written by two of the people in the secret. Because I don't know if it is copyrighted to them I wouldn't want to teach it here without asking them. However I'll try and find out. Maybe there could be indivual sections for different techniques which are more mainstream, and then an 'other' section?

I'd also like to vote for 'virtual realities' as a section in this area, which would encompass BOTH using virtual reality like second life, AND lucid dreaming!

Sugg 6:
I agree that things such as songs and pictures for a specific section could go well in that section. What I was thinking of with the inspiration section was more a section of general 'mood lifters and mood shifters'. So, you're feeling a bit glum...you come on this forum and go to mood lifters section...and it randomly presents you with a video or a song or happy picture or quote. Or they could be in threads!

Sugg 7:
I really like the kind of  wording of bucket list...also could suggest something like 'MY AMAZING LIFE' or I love my life! or Life is wonderful!

Sugg 8:
I think, remove the chat box at the top. If you need to make an admin only announcement, there should be another way to do it without it being a chatbox...?

Another suggestion:
Also I am not sure if the thing with the polls on the right of the page works the best it can. Sometimes I find I need to go to the thread to find out what the poll is...because the poll might appear on the right of the page like

'So which one should I do?
Option 1?
Option 2?
Option 3?'

.................
I also really like the ideas for blessings, affirmations and group projects...group intent.

Thank you all, especially Ankur.
Hugs and love to all.
with not much contect. So a direct link to the thread which the poll is from would be useful.

[Apple]

I love all the suggestions 

I agree with Ginny. I don't think we need subsections for Health. I think it should just be HEALTH AND BODY, and that would basically cover everything from health to weight loss to growing taller, skin and or anything to do with the body.

I love the idea of a PRAYER REQUEST topic. But I also think it could be combined and be PRAYER and GROUP INTENTIONS topic.

I think too many topics might be confusing.

[Grateful Sunshine :)]

Agreeded with Apple..Tooo many topics will add confusion.

Suggestion 14

Combine Group Intent/Prayer requests and also Things I am grateful for in one and call it...hmmm lets say The Power of We/Gratitude
The idea is that gratitude is a form of prayer,when you say Thank you for something you have you attract more of it and when you say thank you for things yet to come they manifest even quicker..

Suggestion 13
Thats is what Mariposa wanted to add in Group Intentions.

Suggestion 15
Combine all techniques in one and then make subsections for EFT/Affirmations/Vision
Boards/Magical Creation box,sublimial messages,mind movies,ho'oponopono etc

Suggestion 16
One section of adding blogs..many people write here things related to LOA.can they add their blogs.the request must be accepted by Ankur/moderators

[Mariposa, (KnJ)]

Yes, Ankur....

That is why I suggested the group intentions as a separate topic or group, like weight loss, how to use the law of attraction, etc.  We can do as Bal suggested and combine the groups, although I think gratitude is quite different than a collective group getting together and sending loving thoughts to a particular person but since it is also for intentions for things we might like or desire, such as a new job, more money, etc. I suppose there is no reason they could not be combined. 

I suppose sending out collective gratitude on behalf of a person would be a very positive thing also.
