Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
I thought you meant something catastrophic happened, instead it's just some fancy user group stuff. And an outdated skin.

Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
I started writing up drafts for the URPG threads but then realized that you can't save drafts for new threads.
So that's a problem.

Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
So while thinking up what to post in the To-Do List, I started fleshing out some ideas for a forum refinement program I've had in my head for awhile. I went through each of our sections and thought out how best to improve them. Here's what I've got so far.
And in general, we need to do some archiving and description updating.
- what i've got so far:
- The Discussions
Deport the Cage to the New World (need to work out the new system first)
The Water Cooler
More "general discussion" threads; like the sports thread, the desktop background thread, the trope list, etc.
The Shipping Lane
Move the shipping list from the Old World to here. I noticed this when trying to figure out what the heck Truth was talking about with ShitShitEditEditFuckFuckShipping or whatever it was. :B It may have made sense to keep it in the Old World before, because at the time we still posted there often and it wasn't like the list was buried, but now I feel we really need to put it in the open.
Generally promoting more activity. At the moment, the only justification I can think of for keeping this section is that it can hold the ship list without clogging other sections.
The Stage
Just a tentative suggestion, but perhaps splitting the Stage into two parts would do it good. My idea was to split it into The Galactic Arcade and The A/V Club. The first would be for video games and gaming news, the second would be for movies, TV, music, etc. I'm not entirely sure what I think of the idea, but I can see the potential for improvement here. I want to see what you guys think.
The Sea of Japan
Examine all the threads and find any that would fit better in the Stage.
The Library
Another splitter, and this one I'm much more sure of. I was thinking of splitting it into three parts: one for discussion of literature, one for writing advice and news, and one for sharing original- or fan-fiction. The one for writing advice would be a subforum of one of the other ones.
Mission Out-of-Control
Include the Cage.
RPG system, of course. Let's not forget that the forum-wide RPG has been suggested for its own section.
Encourage new RPs. Lost Legends needs some competition. :I
And in general, we need to do some archiving and description updating.

What makes you think we need to go through Sea of Japan?

Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
There's always been a little confusion as to which threads belong in the Stage and which belong in the Sea of Japan. I thought maybe hindsight would help catch any that slipped through the net.
And of course, we can go through the Stage to find ones that should be in the Sea of Japan. I was just focused on splitting the Stage when I was writing about it. :B

Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
In my opinion it might be better to axe the Sea of Japan altogether. All it really is is a specialized Stage. (Of course, you might make the point that the Stage itself is a specialized version of the Water Cooler.) It might still work as a subforum of the Stage, but I'm not too sure that it deserves top-levelity.

Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
I do think that would work a lot better than what we have now. You have to consider how the forum displays recent activity, though. If we lump a lot of really active forums together, it's easier to miss the new posts.
There's different options for the structure of the main page that I think will really help in sorting these things out. I'll try out a few, take some screenshots, and post them here to see what you guys think.

Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
- the screenshots:
This is really the only option we have where we can separate the Old World, the New World, the Blogosphere, and have subforums on the top-level.
It doesn't look like much now, but I reckon with a bit of tweaking to the margins of the subforums and a different, smaller image for the subforums, it can actually work really well. This allows us to split the forums into logical categories to display new activity effectively, without making the front page too daunting/ugly/confusing.
Also, I'd like to keep archives below the top-level, so those will likely have to be made subforums of the subforums. Or something similar.
I think this actually is a really good option.

Re: General Complaint/Suggestion Thread
If you're able to make the subforums icon smaller then I'm all for it.

I didn't know they were leaves until I zoomed out quite a bit.
