VERY Happy About "Gaming Action" Forum UNConsolidation

[reapersaurus]

Admins - what are your thoughts on this problem?

It's after the holidays....

Agreed, this is still a pain... We've kept quite and given you plenty of time and I'll we gotten is silence... It's almost been a whole month since the first post.

Anyhow I'm going to be quite now...

Well... the problem seems to be solved as the Talking the Talk forum is now visible again. Horray! Thanks Admins.

Your right! I just noticed! Thanks Admins!

Thanks admins!

Much better.

I was hoping to find an explanatory post from someone representing the Admins on this thread - I was surprised just to see the problem fixed, but not mentioned here.

Oh, well - again, good job, and thanks for the fix.

Morrus took care of it earlier today. I've never moved a forum - it scares me.

Glad you guys are happy. We've moved the Moderator's forum, but we'll probably just make it invisible. I'm looking into some of your other suggestions, too.

Let me start by saying that I love these boards & spend more time here than anywhere else in internet land----usually, I'm one to keep my mouth shut & just roll w/the punches, but since it seems I'm not the only one, I'll add my tarnished 2 cent opinion---bring back the old gaming section! It was definately easier/better back then & as that online gaming is my only gaming outlet, the gaming section was(then) easiest to find what new games were starting.

Also, I'm not a big fan of "Plots" being moved into general---I can understand since it wasnt the quickest moving thread, but, unless you go through the first few pages of "General" theres a good chance u may miss something, & with my slow dial up connection, that kind of browsing isnt often possible for me due to time constraints----of course, being that I'm turning in to an old fogey in march (I'll be 37), I could be just set in my ways & resistant to change

Frankly, I spend about 90% of my time here reading and posting to my subs, and those have always worked. So it doesn't bother me how they're organized all that much.

But why does one forum have to be the lead-in to another? Seems to me that anyone who can roll up a character is smart enough to figure out where to start in PbP - have been playing a while, and haven't been intruded IC by people asking, "Can I play?" yet.

This argument reminds me of the "homage" argument in Braveheart. "If yer want ta play, PbP, yer'll pay 'omage!" "I pay 'omage to Scotland! Er, the forums!"

Don't know why, really.

As I probably mentioned up-thread, I'm incredibly pleased with how this is going. Most plot threads are receiving more than 2-3x the number of replies they previously got. In exchange, they slide out of easy view faster. I think the improvement in ideas and feedback is worth the tradeoff, especially because we'll end up going back to 40 threads per page when we upgrade our server.

Dpdx, we use sub-forums in order to keep the main entry forum listing relatively uncluttered. I've made all private forums invisible to non-members, which helps as well. Including everything, there are something like 70 forums; I don't think we want them all immediately visible.

Say, exactly how long has the "Talking the talk" thread been back up on the main page? I just wondering exactly how long an assumption has been clouding my vision
