[QUOTE="Shapermc, post: 671054, member: 9007"] Honestly since there is an OOC forum what is the point of stating if it is OOC. The OOC forum is also for recruiting, and I think that that should be labeld appropriatly. Also there is an IC forum why would you need to label that it is so. I do like the Idea of that you post the format of the game. If there is an abbv. then you should use that, but if not... Also You could simplify this and make formats for each forum IC Forum: [format] Game Name OOC Forum: [status/format] Game name I think that (like stated) personal abbreviations should be removed and the game format should be used. This will simplify things and stream line it. Why have some complex format that you need a decoder ring to figure out what the thread is about. Here is an example for the format. IC Forum: [d20M] Guns Guns and more Guns OOC Forum: [Recruiting/d20M] Guns Guns and more guns (when recruiting) [d20M] Guns GUns and More Guns (when just OOC and recruiting is over) [Re-Recruiting/d20M] Guns Guns and More Guns (When ... you get the picture) This is much simpler than the other options, you don't need all the flavor text of what the setting is or any thing in () or that just put it all in the name or format. Like [D&D/FR] for Forgotten Realms. Some of these names are like a mile long and they really don't need to be. If the thread is a rounding up of ideas or anything else it should be bracketless. Brackets should Identify that it is a game of some kind. The more complex that you make the nameing format the less userfriendly it is. KISS (keep it simple stupid) is our best option. [/QUOTE]
