There are far too many forums/sub forums.
Come on! There's like 3 forums for each game, and then each one of those has 2-3 sub forums! Why do we need them! Why do we need an OT frontroom and backroom? Why do we need 3 RTW Multiplayer sub forums? It would be so much similar to navigate the ORG if we cut down on them!

Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
Each subforum has it's purpose. Take the frontroom and backroom for example - light-hearted banter can take place in the frontroom, while heated debate and glass throwing and name calling can take place in backroom. It nicely divides the two subjects.

I don't see the problem. It was a bit strange at first but I got used to so many forums.
You'll get used to it

More forums = more oppurtunities to raise your post count.
You shall realize this wisdom and come to accept it eventually, grasshopper.

That's weird. I think there are few forums.

A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
I'm sure that there weren't this many when I started...
They just seem to evolve as new people come, new games are released, and one doesn't notice...

Well the boards have worked sublimely this last 6/7 years. I see no need to truncate the boards, each one has a useful function.
I know that you're a new member, so perhaps you should just enjoy the ride, and chill a bit.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

There are just as many forums as there needs to be - no more, no less.

General Game info & discussion
-single Player-specific topics
-multi Player-specific topics
-mods-specific topics
is the general sorting plan; most recent game "on top", with 'new guy' info on top of that.
I would be interested to see your alternative proposal - particularly if it would enhance the navigation/ability to find info for newer visitors.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
Or you could just do as i do, and shrink away the forums you don't want.
Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
Yes, I just noticed that we have a lot of forums.
Surprisingly, we use them all! Welcome to the .org, the increasingly multi-purpose forum for people who despise Real Life!
Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
I don't despise real life....

Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
yeah as currywurry said, shrink the sections you don't visit. when you're just a new member and not used to forums this is overwhelming.. but you'll see that all of these forums are really needed. if we'd cut down on them, it'd be a lot harder to avoid reading stuff you're not intrested and it would be much more chaotic.
though sadly shogun forums are rarely used these days.. still check them about every day though

"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
"your in denial"
"no im not"

Re: There are far too many forums/sub forums.
So, no proposal for change. Looks like the issue here is wrapped up. Therefore: Thanks for all contributions
