Aaaaaaand.... Three!!!

If you click on the Zeitgeist banner at the top of any page, next to the twitter icon, and then try to click on the messageboard link at the bottom of the page that banner takes you to, there is an error.

Boardgames wasn't very active...

Understatement of the century. I would guess on average it got maybe four posts a day. No reason for it to be a separate forum. The basic fact is that visibility isn't a problem. The problem is that so few people here are talking about board games.

Art and cartography are now in the Media Lounge too? That's not good. Now they have almost no visibility, unless you already know what there was.

This one is a little more strange to me. I didn't browse that forum, but was it mostly RPG related? If so, why merge it with Media versus the gaming forums? I guess I understand the "art as medium" argument, but was a significant amount of it non-gaming related? If not, then I don't think it should be in what is essentially the non-gaming forum.

Thanks for separating the hosted forums from General RPG! It's good to mark general as read without marking all the hosted forums!

I seconding the above post. Many threads in the General forum are Wizards (talking about what they do with 4e), Essential (part of 4e), 4e -> 4e and some 3.5 threads. (Can one report this threads to be moved to their 'home' forum?)

I know this sites history, but I always also liked a place for the less d&d stuff on EN World (I look in the other EN World forums for these).

Thanks! The industry forum is a great idea! It also solves the problems in my above post.

You bet. Plane Sailing gets the credit, I think, along with some members who suggested it; I just moved some stuff. I think it slides the current clog of industry threads into a place where they can be focused on.

Or forgotten, which is sad. (if it's not in General or Meta, it doesn't exist...)

Did the GenCon planning forum also fall victim to this shuffle; and if not, where'd it go?

Well, it'll exist if anyone wants to talk about industry gossip or rumors! And even better, this will drive people to the forum where they see news of new products. I call that a win/win. It's the second forum; let's face it, it's not like it's hiding.

The GenCon forum is merely hiding, biding its time until GenCon reemerges! Have a preference when you want to see it return?
