I've seen it more than once where a discussion is started about a particular episode of a T.V. show. The episode has something to do with Natural Family Living, such as vaccinations or homebirth. It will start in those respective forums but then be moved to the "Television" forum.
May I suggest that they remain where they were? The movement of these threads implies that they should have been placed in the T.V. forum in the first place. But this is problematic because a good portion of MDC mamas don't watch T.V. but may be willing to access these particular episodes if they knew about them. (I sincerely doubt that these mamas frequent the T.V. forum).
So, for example, a post about "The Doctors" show discussing homebirth would get much wider exposure in the Homebirth forum, where even members who don't watch a lot of (or any) T.V. might be interested in media portrayal of the topic.
I can see where sometimes a different forum would be appropriate in certain situations, such as the Activism forum if you want to encourage mamas to write to a show's producers. But I tend to think of the T.V. forum as more of an interchange for analysis and entertainment but not other Natural Family Living issues. Thanks for your consideration!
