Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 630237" data-attributes="member: 552">I'm one who doesn't have a problem telling what threads are updated, but I am on the boards at least 1/day it seems... so it's not that much of an issue for me, however, if you guys decide to do something, I'll pull an hour or two and do what I did for Edena's IR.That being, I'll go through all the pages of threads in the IC forum and sort them into whatever 'grouping' you guys decide to use, with the links all in one post (or email).Honestly, the problem really is that I don't think these boards were meant to accomodate 100 total players and 50 games, which is my estimation on the 'climax' to come. If you could view more 'threads per page', or if there was a way to tell what posts have been updated by the DM (which is most of what the players wait on), that would solve everything, and these boards just 'don't know how', and I'm not one who knows if you can 'teach them.'However, please note that I really don't want to leave the IC forum here. This is the most 'relaxed' role-playing gaming that I've ever had. Move it into a smaller 'sub-culture' (a messageboard devoted to PbP for instance), and I think I'd see what I saw in the 8-bit theater role-playing room -one style dominance. At least here, we can have a vampire the masquerade game right next to Kobold-quest and the 3rd IR.(Ok, so I'm on a metaphor kick, so what?)Is there any way to increase the number of thread views per page, I might not have seen it in the user options, but that would remove the 2nd-page problem for some.(Ok, now without the metaphors and stuff)Options I've seen presented, or have thought of:Increase the total thread views per page, so as to alleviate the 'it's on page 2 in an hour' problem.Divide the Forum into catagories (I'll offer my time to sort out which threads go where, and email the list n' links to the moderators): this creates a certain degree of funness to having more OOC talk, and promotes more IC in the IC, in my opinion.I could email DMs who don't use the Index (and change that post at the top! It's just insulting), and inform them of the general service they would be doing to use it.Email my players (and other DMs email their own) to learn to subscribe to threads so that they automatically know when they are updated. This alone solves those 1/week posters problem, with an email that goes right to the most recent post they have missed.Comments?</blockquote>
