Don't like the split

Actually I don't like the name. "e-Publishers" forum should be named "e-Publishing". Otherwise PDF makers might start putting the Press Releases in the wrong forum.

How about e-Publishing 101. I know the current name already made some confusion with me and Horacio.

Just learned from Horacio that Europe does not use the 101 thing. To an American it means that it is a class and a beginning class. US colleges have courses like Biology 101, etc.

So far two press releases have been put into e-Publishers. I still think it wouldn't happen again if it was called e-Publishing.

I figure after a little adjustment, everyone will know "what goes where." Happens every time a new forum is created.

But in a place that gets so many new members, forum names that are explanatory and reflective of their content's can't hurt, though. And changing three letters isn't really so momentous that the regular visitors will be confused.

I've seen it used in Britain. Luckily, E-Publishing is not my greatest fear, though.

No offense, but all it shows is some people don't know how to read.

Each forum ALSO has a description of the forum under it.

d20 Publishers
A forum for communicating with d20 System publishers about their products. This is also the only forum for posting press releases. Please keep general D&D/d20 discussion to the appropriate forums, above.

e-Publishers
Discuss the RPG e-publishing industry, including technical, marketing and vendor options.

the fact that some companies are mis-using the forums is not a problem of the names of the forums as much as a problem of some people being unable or unwilling to take the time to read the descriptions of the forums.

And after seeing stuff being posted to various forums, I can guarantee that people will still post material to the wrong forum, no matter WHAT you call the forums. You could have a forum called Don't post press releases here, dude and you KNOW it will still have press releases posted to it.

Now that that is out of my way, I also think it might be better as e-Publishing than e-Publishers.

So how does a forum that is FOR e-publishers to discuss their business being called "e-Publishers" not be explanatory and reflective of the content?

Because it's not only for e-publisher, otherwise it would be a private forum, and I wouldn't be able to post in it. It's for discussion on e-publishing.
