Following discussion on the Board improvements or suggestions thread, the idea that Urban Legends and Folklore should each have its own forum was mooted.
I can see the merit in both seperate forums and keeping it all together, so am putting it to the vote. The poll will run for two weeks. |

| Urban legends are folklore and splitting up the fora will result in endless arguments about where the line is supposed to be. |

They belong together. It's only the location which varies. Probably the ULs outnumber the traditional folkloric stories here.
Come to think of it, this forum tends to be a repository of queries and reflections on sayings, habits and "memes" which are not properly speaking Urban Myths or Legends. It might be possible to separate those into a separate category but they all seem to sit quite happily together in my view. 
edit: Forum, not thread! |

| Considering there's now 4 cryptozoology threads, I think the less break ups the better. |
