Greetings and salutations, all... this is GW, if you hadn't figured that out already...
I have noticed, in my long time here in the IC forum, that there are few conventions that we go by... we all have our own ways of indicating games that we run, our OoC threads, and our recruiting threads...
However, you may have also noticed that the IC forum isn't as sparsely populated as it was a year ago... there are literally dozens of games, each with their own recruiting and OoC threads. It is difficult for those looking through the forums to find a specific kind of thread... for instance, if I was new to PbP, and wanted to find a game, I would greatly appreciate all the sign-up threads being similarly and obviously marked, so as to make them stand out from the rest of the threads on this forum.
I don't believe that we can continue working with our own thread-naming conventions. We must have a system - something that we will all be (moderately) aware of that will enable us to recognize OT, sign-up, and IC threads at a glance.
Does anyone else share this opinion? Is there a need for this kind of thing? Could we get mod support for this, if there is enough support (probably from one of the newly-instituted mods)?
