Occurred to me the other day that the forum is not really helping collectors venture in to the world of Hasbros and LJNs when they're not even listed as a topic on the forum homepage. With the publicity they are getting through the WF Podcast it would be good if we could signpost people to these boards if they want to explore
Given this sub-board is probably 90% Hasbro and LJN chat then I think we should be at least listing them in the narrative under the board name. Currently reads 'Japan Feds, Lucha Libres, Non-Jakks WWE & More'
Yes, current collectors know where to find the right chat but it would make sense to try and get some more traffic.
Ruby, you're probably the guy to sort this, any thoughts?

I'm sure this topic gets brought up pretty often and answered by Mods.

I can't change the description, but "Non-Jakks WWE" should imply LJN & Hasbro can be discussed.
The main reason is this forum already has many subboards. Besides, every LJN or Hasbro fan finds his way to WFT: Other Brands.

Why is other brands wrong? I dont understand It's not wrong, he's just saying it might not attract new users or people who want to talk LJN or Hasbro because the brands aren't in the title. Like if you ran a sports website and had headings: NFL, NHL, MLB and Other ... with people wondering why NBA is in the "other" category. |

I suppose, but there are Mattel and Jakks boards so its safe to assume if you want other brands you will find those in other brands? |

As long as the board exists it's NEVER been a problem for LJN, Hasbro or other fans to find WFT - Other Brands. |

Just explaining what he was saying and how it wasn't "wrong" but just a thought or viewpoint. I think "other" is self explanatory when you don't see your figure heading. |

If it were up to me, it would be "LJN, Hasbro, & More" or "LJN, Hasbro, and Misc."

I’d have to agree with the OP here. I understand why it was done this way, but with the way it’s presented I think a lot of people think we only talk about NEW figs here when there are clearly a LOT of Hasbro/LJN collectors here too.

I don't mind or care that it is what it is, but I find it funny the folks in charge seem COMPLETELY against changing it as if it'd alter the fabric of the board or something 🤣

I mean 90% of the posts in here ARE Hasbro/LJN, so... But I'm not overly concerned. I only collect LJN and I knew where to look and know where to come now that I found it... but I also get the OP's point |

Maybe its because the board is owned by ringside who have a relationship with Mattel, they may not want Hasbro given more prominence
