Rearranging the sub-forums...again

[freyar]

With the forum rearrangement, the hosted forums are subforums of General RPG Discussion. Anyone know how to mark the main forum as being read without marking all the subforums as being read also?

I personally would also like to see the hosted forums as not a subforum of general discussion, and 'plots and places' listed in the forum jump just underneath the general discussion forum. It's kind of hiding down there lol.

Moving the hosted forums somewhere else would help out with my question, too! I'm not sure the best place for all of them, though the Creature Catalog could logically go under Legacy Houserules.

Just a thought... Would it be better to merge Media with the Software Computers and Video Games forum? The tech stuff is a kind of media, and I think the crossover between the two would be better than the crossover between Media and Off Topic.

Of course, it might be even harder to go back.

That might be an interesting approach, especially since the tech forum is even deader than the media lounge.

We may still merge Tech into OT/Media. Dunno. I agree that it doesn't need its own forum.

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.

I always thought the graveyardness came and went in sort of cycles.

But, maybe it'll be a positive effect. A little experimentation never hurt anyone, right?

I won't have a chance to make changes anyways until I'm home next week in any case (I'm traveling over Easter.) What's the difference between the PbP general forum and Talking the Talk? I don't see much need for TtT in this case. Am I missing something?

There seems to be a lot of non-General forum threads getting started in the General forum. I've seen it suggested that a 3E thread be restarted in the Legacy forum but there seems to be an uptick in 4E threads (that are specifically 4E threads with no General value) that are not being suggested as better in the D&D 4th Edition Discussion. Some threads even seem to be flat out promoting 4E/WotC events and products in the General forum. Why the difference?

Why the difference?

Mainly because it's Easter and we're not really about at the moment.

Thanks. I'll layoff the issue until things get more in step. Just wondered if I was missing something or not understanding the new forums divisions.

Well, it's mostly because that way the IC and OOC will be on the same layer, which just makes sense.

Of course, a simple forum index (I mean something like what you get when you click on Living Worlds now) would work.

It would, however, be necessary to know what is acceptable and what is not to proceed (because it makes little sense to tell you what the forum members would want if that is something you wouldn't do ).
