[QUOTE="weem, post: 5291612, member: 9470"] I think that works, sure. See updated image below. Right, I just forgot to do that (didn't mean to get rid of it - they are together already which i think works). See updated image below. Yea, I forgot that one as I was going to do something different with it. See updated image below. There are differences to be sure, though as you said, they are subtle. The goal here to merge items where it makes sense, and to only keep separate if the activity is high enough to warrant it, or if two things are fairly different. Pathfinder and 3e are certainly similar enough to be merged (imo) and there simply is not a lot of activity in the PF forum - the first page shows threads up to 11 days ago (at the time of this post). In a merged forum such as this (PF and 3e), it would not take long for people to start appending "PF" or "3e" to the beginning of their messages when they want specific information on that system (see rpg.net). It might be that those kinds of options could be put into thread creation and chosen from a drop down - in the same fashion as adding a 'prefix' in the General RPG Discussion. In fact, prefix options would be great in many of the forums - for example, in a "D&D 4th Edition" forum, prefix options of "Rules", "House Rules", "DM" etc would be nice. Here is the updated layout with the 2 changes from above... [IMG]http://www.theweem.com/images/enworldreorg2.jpg[/IMG] You will notice RPG Industry Forum is now Announcements. I love the idea of this because right now it's not a place to discuss the industry, as I feel the name implies. It is (or has become perhaps) a place to post promotional links or press releases. This is a good thing though. Those in the industry want to have places to do this - so EN World should offer it. The thing is, other people want to do the same for their work who might not consider themselves "in the industry". I am a prime example of this. I want to post links to some things I do on my blog from time to time. And to be honest, I have done so there once or twice - but if it were simply "Announcements" it could have those kinds of things from industry people and non. It would be the obvious place for people to put those messages as opposed to putting them in General RPG, etc as happens occasionally now. I would point to rpg.net's "Ads/Open Promo" for an example of such a forum. I post items there every once in a while. [/QUOTE]
