[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1756181, member: 1288"] Well, I come to ENWorld pretty much every day. I check the D20 news, I check product reviews, but the majority of my time is spent in the forums. Discussions of upcoming or recent products, rules clarifications, hyping my own work (I admit it, yes), and just virtually hanging out with other gamers... EN World doesn't need to [i]change[/i] focus, just tighten it. To me, the community is the single most important part of ENWorld. I want the news and reviews to stay--those are, in that order, priorities number 2 and 3. But number 1 is, by far, the forums. Keep those, and EN World prospers, IMO. I like the idea of setting up formal galleries, to make the maps and other material more easily accessable and user-friendly. (I suggested much the same in a thread on the main page some days back.) I can support the idea of ditching the ENnies. I like the fact that they exist, and I'd love to see them continue, but they seem to be the single greatest source of problems, financial and personal, for Morrus and co. If that's so, I say boot them, and fast. Also, I have to suggest that if EN World is tightening focus, that we stop the drift into covering non-D20/OGL games. I know they're popular, and I'm not saying discussion of them should be disallowed on the main page. But I don't believe we should have reviews for them, or anything else specifically dedicated to them. (That includes an ENnie, but that's a separate issue, and also moot if the ENnies don't last.) We've already got other sites for wide-ranging RPG reviews. I always liked the fact that EN World was D&D/D20-specific. I think throwing that open has caused a lot of the "drift" we've seen in focus (to say nothing of attracting certain recent posters who might not otherwise have come, and who we very well do without if we're going to keep EN World friendly). I see the need for no change, except to turn the site back to what it's always done best. :) [/QUOTE]
