VERY Happy About "Gaming Action" Forum UNConsolidation

[Brother Shatterstone]

Since Playing the Game and Talking the Talk are related, it makes more sense to put them together.

Seems to me there was better choices to merge, and or remove from the front page.

Brother Shatterstone is right.

Mods, there are better ways to save Front Page space, and they make more sense:

a) move the 3 useless-to-almost-all Private Forums into a Private Sub-Forum.

b) Move the 13th Kingdoms Forum into the "Hosted D&D Settings and d20 Games".
What the heck is it doing on the front page anyway? Who's is it? There's less than 300 posts there, unless they're invisible. They have 18 Sub Forums in there! And only 5 are used (I use that term loosely).
Was it a pet project that hasn't taken off?

These 2 changes make more sense, and they affect next-to-nobody (AFAIK).
This would save 3 'spots' on the Front Page, allowing TtT and Fight Club to come back to the Front Page where they belong.

Thank you for considering this suggestion on behalf of the hundreds of long-standing members affected.

Actually, 13 Kingdoms would be more likely merged into the PbP forums. To find out what it is, hunt down Emiricol and check his .sig.

Personally I always wondered why 13 Kingdoms isn't in the Gaming forums. It would attract the appropriate people there, at least. Though it would be competing with my pet project .

So I take it the official response to our valid issue with the move is "Screw You?" :thumbsdown:

Have you heard anyone say screw you? Lordy, Reapersaurus, maybe you could be more rude if you tried - but I doubt it.

Morrus is aware of the request. I have no idea how big a deal it is, and I'm sure if he decides to switch it around he'll let everyone know. We certainly appreciate the feedback about what people like and dislike - it's tremendously useful.

Jeez, ease up on the caffeine, will ya reap?

I, for one, will trust the powers that be to make the right decision...

 

[reapersaurus]

Sure. Let's try it for a week or so and make sure it's a problem.

umm, yeah, Piratecat, I did hear the mods _effectively_ say screw you to all the PbP gamers.
They said it with their silence and inaction.

It takes but a click of the mouse to get the Forums re-arranged, and there are still 3 Private Forums on the front page and 1 inappropriate forum (13th Kingdom).

We have done (as members) all we should have to to get the matter changed. We staed our objections, and demonstrated why some of the most popular forums on this board shouldn't have been changed, and provided alternate (superior) fixes to accomplish the assumed objective.
You yourself said to give it a week. It's been well over a week. It's not like this place is the Senate, that needs hearings and months to get things done.

I certainly could have sugar-coated my desire for attention to this matter, but I want the mods to understand what their continued inaction (to hundreds of affected members) could be perceived as. This change was not welcome, not needed, or even warned about nor voted on. But most importantly, it's not effective - there are clearer targets for consolodation on the front page.

Oh no, the mods are at it again! What will we do?

reapersaurus, sorry but this being an admin-level action, the mods can't do anything.

Neither can the style monkeys.
