| If I feel that a thread I placed in the Sports Forum did not get enough attention, can I put it in the more traffic-heavy General Autism Discussion Forum? Even if it is about sports? |

I'd say you very well could. I often post in Random Discussion rather than the appropriate forum due to more replies (sacrificed for less serious answers).

This sounds like an odd idea.
If someone is interested in sports, they would, presumably, be looking in the sports forum.
Putting a thread about sports into the general forum seems wrong to me. Why would it get more replies? I'd suspect it might get some "why is this here" type replies.
Chances are, someone would suggest that it should be moved to the sports forum, which we'd probably do, so you'd be back where you started.
What is this thread you are talking about? If it's the NBA thing, you only just posted it.
And, finally, the answer to your subject line is that it is against the rules to cross post.

What about something from the School board into the Haven? It was about my anxiety toward university, and I didn't get any attention in the School board, so I went to the Haven board. I waited a couple days I believe.

That seems fine... i think it would be a crosswired topic...
either it is haven material or school material...
best bet is to wait until it drops off the first page of any said forum its on before cross posting... thats my standard

Actually, if you genuinely think that you have started a thread up in the wrong forum, we'll usually move it for you. I.e. not out from adult to general... but where it's just that you realise it would be more appropriate elsewhere.
I.e. if you had asked for the thread you mentioned above, moving from school to haven would be fine, I think. Just don't make a habit of it!

Okay, I won't.

Sure, as long as you're not posting like a political\religious thread in general or something that blatently doesn't belong there.
