I'm not sure, but these look like subtle hints in my direction. ~;)

Most of these replys seem to be about whether a mod should get a subforum.

I guess I didn't explain myself very well. I don't want a subforum for my mod. I don't know what I'd do with one.

My problem is that I fear my mod will be eclipsed by the subforums. People will come to the forum, look down the list of subforums, and assume that the mods with the subforums are the ones worth looking at. Otherwise why do they have a seperate forum. I know that those aren't the reasons subforums are given, but I also know that some people will assume that it is without actually thinking to check.

We all make our mods for other people to appreciate, Its all well and good for the more popular mods to have subforums, but I don't want my mod to be forgotton because no one bothers to have a look.
only a little bit,
you raised valid points and made a sound argument that some people may want forums because he's got one
(even if you don't want one, you pointed it out that some people might)

thus i was addressing my replies more to the points you raised,
and not so much as at you :-)

you also make a sound argument that some people may think the only mods worth looking at are the ones in their own subforums,

i dont like the idea of seperating the mods which have their own forums from the core of the Dungeon.

i understand completely that 87 pages was too many to read through,
and breaking the pages down while remaining in the EG would have caused absolute chaos,

we did not want any more mods going offsite aka Napoleonic and perhaps causing 2 effects,
the mods becomming marginalised (i have absolutely no idea what staus Nap mod is in these days)

and people, who have expertise that could help many mods under development, not coming to the org as frequently.
(duplication of effort)

i am uncertain of an equitable resolution,
i will have to investigate further
and see if perhaps subforums could be linked from the EG instead of the Dungeon entrance?
thus they appear listed at the top of EG?

as an aside -
We can assign a specific skin for each subforum, (aka the sword dojo skin)
- thus each subforum could have it's own atmosphere
