I might be shooting myself in the foot, but...Hey Morrus!I can certainly understand the desire and need to get a "fresh" look, and to re-think the focus of the sight. There have been a lot of good ideas posted on these boards, in this thread, and I am sure that, in the end,the right choices will be made. You are a heck of aguy, and we all trust you. I think that is fair to say.But, now to add my two copper's worth. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Name of the Site: The bard has told us that a rose, by any other name, will still smell as sweet. But a web site that changes it's name too often will languish in the depths of internet hell. The name is recognizable, known and popular. I agree that perhaps a logo shift is in order (3EN for Third Edition News was good) -- but if for no other reason than to ensure that the title ENnies makes sense, I would keep the name.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Front Page: One sidebar column is enough. Two is one too many. If teh stuff in the right sidebar is as important as you think, give it its own page.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Settings: Here is where I may be shooting myself. But in the interests of the site and some focus in it, it might be time to trime the settings off of teh site all together. Daemonforge could be give its own domain, I can certainly move Umbragia and Rich can move Aetasidus (not that he has much up there by way of that setting at the moment). I would not worry about the feelings of those who you are hosting right now -- but be polite: give them notice, let them understand why you are doing this and so on. Link to them in a "Free Settings" page perhaps, but hosting them might be too much.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do the things you like, not the things you think you need to do: If ENWorld is a business, ignore this point. If it is a fan site, then heed its warning: you will go the way of the burned-out gamer if you do things because you think you have to. Do the things that make you smile, the things you enjoy and so on. Anything that is (as a friend over at Pyramid Online would say) HURTING WRONG FUN, drop it and don;t look back</li> </ul>That is my advice and thoughts on the matter. I wish you well on making the tough choices.</blockquote>
