Message: <blockquote data-quote="EricNoah" data-source="post: 4122254" data-attributes="member: 4">Random thoughts, take them for what they are worth...I'm wondering if a little re-arranging might help some things.  There's no doubt that there will need to be separate 3e & 4E rules areas.  Maybe the 3E rules and OGL/d20 stuff (and Pathfinder) should be bundled together somewhere; and likewise I think there is going to be a lot of non-rules 4E discussion (future products, etc.) even after release -- so much so that it would easily overwhelm General if moved there.  If I'm sticking with (or moving to) one edition, I am going to want to see the forums for those items together -- maybe a group containing 4E General and a 4E rules; and a group containing 3E/d20/OGL/Pathfinder General and 3E/d20/OGL/Pathfinder Rules area.  On the other hand, I'm concerned about what too much edition segregation could do to the site.  Would also depend on ENW2 and how much a user can do to hide certain topics -- if I'm not a 4E player and I see 75% of the threads in general are 4E, if I can filter those out somehow ... but then, isn't that the same as edition segregation?Let me toss out a potential outline:*RPG General - Come shoot the breeze on edition-neutral topics related to D&D and other RPGs, such as player problems, DMing technique, blah blah blah.  Please look for the D&D 4E and D&D 3E/d20/OGL/Pathfinder forums to discuss topics related to these specific games. [the current General forum is the seed for this forum]*Off Topic - blah blah blah. No religion/politics blah blah.D&D Edition Spotlights [to steal a term from RPG.net]*D&D 4th Edition General - discuss forthcoming products, settings, adventures blah blah blah.  See below for rules discussion. [the current 4E forum is the seed for this forum]*D&D 4th Edition Rules - discuss 4E rules, including character build advice/suggestions.  [new forum, would need to appear as soon as official final rules start appearing]*D&D 3rd Edition/d20/OGL General - including 3.0, 3.5, and third-party products based on the d20 system, including Pathfinder, Arcana Evolved, Spycraft, Mutants & Masterminds, etc.  See below for rules discussion. [the current d20/OGL forum could serve as the seed to this forum -- folks would have to understand that a lot of this forum's "past" is actually burried in the General forum]*D&D 3rd Edition Rules -- rules & character build advice [use current rules forum as seed][I'm debating if House Rules forums would work better by edition or as one unified forum, with good topic tagging a must]From there similar to how it is now.</blockquote>
