Title: What is a "Child Board"?
Post by: brasidas19004 on June 17, 2024, 03:07:49 PM
Never seen this expression...

Only occasional user, I assume everyone knows what it's about - seems to be a dedicated board.
But at first I thought it was a forum for kids or kid topics [something the wargame community desperately needs, I might add].

It's an offshoot of a main board.  So as a made up example, if there was a 40K main board, things like Horus Heresy (30K), Battlefleet Gothic, the various skirmish games, RPGs, etc. could all be child boards off it.

Ah!  Maybe a "spawn board" is a way to think of it.

It is possible that it's just what the forum software calls sub-forums.

Or they may have been named so by the previous owner of the forum, who was not a native English speaker. I had not come across the expression before joining LAF either, but if you are thinking in another language it might sound perfectly normal.

You find them at feasts in certain pre-Columbian American cultures and in Polynesia and central Africa. Rather like a cheese board in a less controversial restaurant.

Glad someone brought this up. For years I have ignored these boards, not by intention, but because the layout of LAF makes these boards so easy to overlook, kind of like how I always ignore paid posts on a search engine, they look irrelevant as a side bar. LAF could really use a good graphical layout revision.
