Living Forums

[Rystil Arden]

I figured demoting LEW would be more likely than promoting two subforums. I know there have been layout changes to streamline all the forums, and at the very least a more generic "Living Worlds" forum might interest a wider variety of people looking for games than a specific "Living EN World" forum.

That's also why I recommended the advertisement somewhere, to help with traffic.

Yeah, the ad would help, at least.

Also, a Living Worlds umbrella might inspire others to start up their own Living Worlds in the future, given enough support. There is the possibility of it going overboard, but that's pretty easiliy handled in the future, I think (assuming it would come up at all).

I'd guess that the Living Worlds forum wouldn't allow posting, just because I don't see a reason to. Kind of like the Creature Catalog Forums forum--it's essentially a gateway to/categorization of the subforums.

That's what I figured as well - there are a few discussions that might pertain to Living Games as a whole (such as starting a new one), but unless they grossly overwhelm Talking the Talk, they can live in that forum.

That's how I believe it should be too...

I'll leave this to the mods of Gaming Action, since I don't really grok how things are structured play-wise.

... and it has my blessing.

I see no problems with the idea either.

Masterfully managed, my magnificent mods. May... mmm... many monkeys manipulate motorized...

Damn. I got nothing.

So, keeping in mind how we organize the board now, how do you want the structure to appear?

What do you mean? The forum--Living Worlds, the subforums--Living EN World, Living Eberron, Living Supers.

... This is possible to do without changing the links, right? (ie, the links that people have in their sigs, etc, that point to threads in Living EN World)

Yeah, what he said. Or if all of them could be their own forums, that would be even sweeter!

Well, if this would require a change in the LEW links, I'm definitely for that option (with a possibility of Living Worlds being a new section of forums).

That's likely due to a number of factors including the availability of M&M material and also the really big dicussion in TtT about starting up LEB. If you remember, the discussion to start up LS happened in LEW.

Now, other than those that contributed to those starting-up-LEB threads, can you say LEB is getting more players?

edit: Is there a better part of being a geek than being able to use all these acronyms?

No, actualy BS started the LS startup thread long ago and bowed out later in the Talking the Talk forum. once it got moved under LEW, we lost some people who were interested, and I can only assume they couldn't find it :\ I still get people who don't know what any of the living comunitys are, but usually more a "There's an Enworld living Supers?"

A seperate catagory would be nice, or at least not under Living Enworld.

It should be. PC creates a new subforum, the Living Enworld threads are mass-moved into that new forum, and everybody is happy. Moving a thread does not change the thread or post IDs, which are what is important for the links. Of course, links that used to lead directly to the Living Enworld forum will lead to the Living Games forum unless changed.
