[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1867293, member: 13098"] Punish? I see it as a benefit. It isn't practical to create a seperate forum for each game. Nor is it practical to leave everything in one huge mega-forum. As it is, if you log off the board for 12-24 hours, you will have at least 2 pages of new posts to go through in General. Many times, you wil have significantly more. Conversation tracks quickly in General. OGL/D20 games would be tracked in and out of the radar very rapidly I think. I suppose the occasional thread would bubble to the top for a while, but in the long run, many more of the threads would be relegated to the bottom of page 2, or 3, or 4 and then slide out of sight within a day or two. Really, the topics for a thread come up with general play (which arguably applies across multiple systems), in-depth flavor discussions (the flavor of the game world), rules, and house rules. General play still belongs in the General discussion forum. I think the OGL/D20 games are better served keeping flavor, rules and house rules all assigned to the same forum. I am not aware of many people looking to use the Diamond Throne setting without using the Arcana Unearthed "crunch". So if somebody is asking for help with the campaign setting, they are likely also interested in rules & house rules for AU at the same time. I suppose it could be argued that keeping that conversation in General might increase the interest in the system. I am not sure whether that would be true or not. But for me, I am better served keeping the forum structure that is currently in place. [/QUOTE]
