There's nothing very complicated about it.

Just have a new general category called 'Tiki Architecture' - this would cover places like hotels, restaurants, etc., retro or modern -

...and under Creating Tiki, have a new 'Tiki Pads' sub-heading. This is for any sort of room, bar, or place you've tiki-ized.

Why not? These seem to be the two most interesting categories anyway!

I think the most complicated thing would be moving all the Home Tiki threads already eixsting to the new category and folder, which would involve alot of searching by Hanford, or whomever chooses to do this.

I just think that there are so many amazing home projects posted on here, and let's face it, as soon as you get bit by he Tiki Bug, the first thing you do is try to convert your living space to a cool tikipad. Being that there aren't many cool tiki restaurants to hang out at anymore, it sure seems like most people in here are trying to "bring the tiki home", so to speak.

I think, commercial architecture should be a separate sub category, as there is alot less of it, and it deserves it's own space.

Alot of "Creating Tiki" is occupied by the artists - carvers, painters, sculpters, jewelry makers etc displaying their goods, which they sell, and possibly make a living off of, and having home/not for sale threads distracts from their business endeavors. I think It's important that the artists have a space to keep them in business.

Anyway, no matter how you choose to do it, I think it's warranted.
