[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 5208937, member: 1225"] This forum was the non-D&D d20 (and later OGL) forum, and was reclassified as an all purpose non-D&D RPG forum a while ago (last year? 2008?). D&D Legacy [I]was[/I] the 3e forum, until a few weeks ago, when it became the D&D Legacy forum. Pathfinder has its separate forum because there was quite a bit of Pathfinder-specific stuff when it came out & was the New Hotness. (Some days, half the active threads in this forum are actually 3e or Pathfinder threads, which is weird.) I think the problem with lots of separate boards is that many boards end up with little or no traffic, and that tends to generate self-reinforcing feedback. If a board gets little traffic, people will stop checking it; so when there's a new post, it will get few replies; eventually, people stop posting, because there won't be much (or any) interest or replies. Then the topics of those particular boards become dead on the whole site, and folks go elsewhere to talk about those topics. It's not a situation with a perfect solution. [/QUOTE]
