New Forum Structure Proposals

[TinCow]

As responses have been generally positive, I plan on implementing the new structure with the version including the full listing for the Forum Gaming and Off Topic sections. If you do not think this is a good idea for any reason, please speak up ASAP.

Overall, I like the set up - but can I make one suggestion?

Group the Frontroom and Backroom into an empty "Tavern Forum" - I think it's important to keep the two seperate from the other off topic forums.

Oh, and please, please, don't institute Beskar's suggestion for generically named off topic forums.

What makes them different from the other fora? We have long since abolished all access restrictions to them, and it would certainly make more organizational sense for them to be with the other off topic, since that's exactly what they are. What other factor am I missing?

I won't be changing the off-topic forum names, as it's unnecessary in the 'long' format I will be implementing for those sections. That issue can be discussed further and independently, as it's not crucial to the new structure.

Don't you think it's fair to say that there are people who post mostly in the Frontroom or Backroom, and that those populations cross-over.

"Tavern Frontroom" looks weird - they've always gone together as a Unit and they've never suffered from being "deeper" in the forum structure.

I'm probably just showing the tendancy to keep to a habit, but if they're both part of the "Tavern" aren't they better off clearly sperated from the other fora like the Arena?

The basic reorganization is now complete. Please let us know what you think of the new structure. There are plenty of areas in which further changes could be made, particularly in forum names and descriptions. Please post any improvements, complaints, issues, etc. that come to mind and please do post about additional changes you would like to see, even things that have been posted above but not implemented yet. Just because something has not been altered yet does not mean it will never be done.

Overall I'm a big fan of the restructuring except for one part. The Off Topic category should be reverted to its old look. I'm not saying this as I don't like change, it's just that in its current state it's sometimes a pain to navigate. I liked the look behind the game room front-room and back room being a separate part from the monastery and the arena. Right now there is just too much listed under the off topic forum that it feels cluttered at least to me. I could be the only one who feels this way though.

I agree with Veho, it's a lot crammed into one section

It wasn't my "suggestion", it was a suggestion for the hypothetical argument for such a "suggestion" !

My suggestion is actually -CLASSIFIED INFORMATION-
