[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 1694877, member: 7808"] Some people have noticed that ENWorld isn't quite as friendly these days as it used to be. The fact that the last thread on this subject (sorry if this thread is too similar. I'm hoping this one is different enough to not be breaking the rules) was closed due to not being very friendly says to me that we should take a more pro-active stance on making things better. So, what kind of suggestions do you guys have to make this place better? My personal suggestion: allow more posts to stay on the front page of a forum. Over time, there seems to me to be an increase in the number of threads in some of the more popular forums (I mainly stick to the Rules forum, but I think this goes for General as well). This leads to threads being pushed off the front page (where people read them more often) quicker. As a consequence of this, the only threads that seem to stay on the front page for a long time are the ones where people post quick, quipy, and more heated (and less thought out) replies, which makes the place seem a lot less friendly. Pushing out threads quicker also lets less people read them (unless they check the boards very often), and stops people from getting to know other posters (especially those that don't post quite as often). I think that this has become a larger problem since the last server update, when (IIRC) the number of posts per page was cut down to help save bandwidth. Another solution addressing the same issue would be to open up new forums or sub-forums. [/QUOTE]
