Please bring back Plots & Places Forum (merged)

[DMScott]

I also think it's good here. Even with an own subforum, a lot of threads here were Plots&Places-worthy.

Maybe, but as somebody who checks the boards a couple of times a day I'm sure I miss most of them. One of the attractions of Plots and Places was the very low churn rate - a DM could post something, get responses over a couple of days, maybe find an old post still on the first page that had some useful ideas, and then go and try things. The DM then picks up the discussion a month later to tell how things went, and everybody has the whole thread to reference without trouble. Here a thread that doesn't get bumps every ten minutes is banished to the nether pages in short order.

If a low-traffic "thoughtful" board is a waste of server resources, then fair enough - the folks footing the bill have every right to make that call. But P&P wasn't merged in any meaningful sense, it's gone.

I think I have to agree with the notion of returning it to its own forum. At first, moving it off of of the general forum meant less replies, but it seemed to go up after it was renamed to what it really was. I think in the final analysis, it was better off as its own forum.

Some more vigilant enforcement of moving threads that really belong there will both keep the traffic in the forum up and address the concern "there were threads here that belonged there anyways."

Doesn't this go in Meta?

 

[Piratecat]

Indeed it does.

I agree with moving it to it's own spot. It worked better for DMs trying to keep their sinister ideas "out of the limelight," as it were. Some of us have posting players who dog our every step.

I posted a thread on campaign plots yesterday (or the day before), and it got two replies total. Within two hours it was on page 3 of the general message threads.

I agree that Plots & Places had slow traffic, but in general, we're pedalling bicycles on the freeway.

You forgot to mention that 18 wheeler rolling down upon you…

I also agree it needs it’s own space even if it’s traffic is slower.

18 wheeler. A 16 wheeler doesn't exist, though 14 wheelers do. Truck axles come in sets of 4 wheels with the sole exception of the steer tires, hence 6, 10, 14, 18 wheelers and so on. Most I've driven was a 22 wheeler.

I also would like Plots to have its own board.
