Rearranging the sub-forums...again

[Aeson]

I'm ok with the changes so far. The thing I'm not fond of is the popup if you're not signed in. Sometimes I like to read the forums with logging in. Is that staying or is it just a test?

Both are comparative graveyards (save Truth Seeker's weekly 10+ posts listing upcoming TV episode names). I'm hoping the combination will result in a more lively envireonment for non-gaming discussion.

Yeah, it's a shame really, the Media Lounge was getting kind of dead so this merge wasn't surprising. I like to hang around there a lot so i noticed it.

Didn't notice the deadness of the off-topic forum but I only go there when I feel like messing with the Hivers. I wonder if the deadness is partially because a certain former member got banned, thus ending his massive multi-way sockpuppeting.

Moving the Talking the Talk and Living Worlds down makes organizational sense, but I fear the lesser visibility of the latter and the errant posts of the former going into Playing the Game. We'll see how it plays out.

I especially fear, that new folks now post in the "Playing the Game" forum instead of "Talking the Talk".

It would probably be better to have the OOC Forum on top and the Game Forum as a subforum.

With the new structure, what is the proper location for pre-d20 D&D?

D&D Legacy and Other RPGs
These forums are for talking about the rules and house rules of 3.x Edition D&D, 2nd Edition D&D, 1st Edition D&D, OD&D and any other pre-4E version of D&D, along with all other RPGs.

Either is cool with us. Can I deputize you to start a thread in the OOC forum asking about opinions, and then link us to it here? It's a simple change if there's a consensus.

Everything seemed fine the way it was before - now it'll be necessary to grow reacquainted with the new structure, and while I don't think that'll take very long, I'm curious why it was done in the first place.

I think the previous forum listing was long, unintuitive, unwieldy and redundant in some cases. We're a big fan of fewer forums when possible.

Yup, we could clarify that a little. Some of the old forum names and descriptions are still in place, but they go in the 3E forums (which we'll rename "D&D Legacy").

I read that, but it's unclear in which specific subforum it would go? 3rd edition because it's for pre-3e? Or the Other RPG (but this technically is for non-D&D)?

I've clarified the forum names and descriptions now.

If we get a lot of legacy D&D threads, I *might* consider a single Legacy Catch-all forum. But we'll see.
