| [18:06] Chruser:
Okay. |
| [18:06] Chruser:
Gaming is done. |
| [18:06] Yawgmoth:
In my opinion at least |
| [18:06] Chruser:
Zelaron Basement. |
| [18:06] Chruser:
Hobbies and Interests. |
| [18:06] Lenny:
This'll be fun. =P |
| [18:06] Lenny:
Sub of something. |
| [18:07] Yawgmoth:
Kill all and replace with Science and Technology, and Art and Culture and maybe Hobbies and INterests |
| [18:07] Lenny:
Makes sense. |
| [18:07] Chruser:
Okay. |
| [18:07] Lenny:
Maybe even just two - merge Hobbies with Art and Culture. |
| [18:07] Yawgmoth:
Maybe rename Hobbies and Interests so it could incorporate History, Automotive, Sports |
| [18:08] Yawgmoth:
No. |
| [18:08] Lenny:
Visible sub? |
| [18:08] Yawgmoth:
I say: Create Science and Technology forum, give it Tech News and Help as a subforum. Maybe add a subforum for Singularity |
| [18:09] Lenny:
History, Auto and Sports could all be subs of a simple "CUlture" forum. |
| [18:09] Lenny:
And "Art" could be a sub of "Culture". |
| [18:09] Yawgmoth:
Create Art and Culture with the sub-forum Animation and Comics, we could add Audio and Visual Entertainment (movies and music) |
| [18:10] Yawgmoth:
Hobbies and Interests could be moved down in the hierarchy and would hold history, sports, philosophy, random, auto, whatever. |
| [18:10] Lenny:
In that case, it needs a rename. |
| [18:10] Lenny:
Get rid of "Hobbies" in the title, at least. |
| [18:10] Yawgmoth:
It includes hobbies also? |
| [18:11] Yawgmoth:
Merge Hobbies and Interests, Histroy, Automotive, Sports, maybe Literature? and rename? |
| [18:11] Lenny:
A merge would make things to chaotic.# |
| [18:12] Yawgmoth:
Okay, kill and create new to incorporate what they once held |
| [18:12] Chruser:
I agree; we need to separate automotive interests from history and sports, should we keep those. |
| [18:12] Lenny:
Too many threads about too many subjects if you just merge them all. |
| [18:12] Lenny:
Text link subs if we do. |
| [18:12] Chruser:
Automotive, History and Sports, perhaps even Entertainment as sub-forums (text links, possibly) of Hobbies and Interests. |
| [18:12] Yawgmoth:
As Automotive and History are not very popular they could get lost |
| [18:13] Lenny:
Automotive HAS been popular, that's the problem. |
| [18:13] Lenny:
keep it as a text-link sub. |
| [18:13] Yawgmoth:
Anime Forum should be broadened into Animation and Comics |
| [18:14] Yawgmoth:
Okay, Hobbies and Interests (possibly renamed?) make Entertainment and Sports, Automotives and History sub-forums of it. |
| [18:14] Chruser:
Let's plow through them. |
| [18:14] Chruser:
Hobbies and Interests. |
| [18:14] Lenny:
Yeah. |
| [18:14] Chruser:
Merge with "Hobbies and Interests". Duh. |
| [18:14] Chruser:
(Or move? Heh.) |
| [18:14] Lenny:
And some sort of rename. But we can argue that later. |
| [18:14] Yawgmoth:
Zelaron Lab? merge with Technology and Science? |
| [18:15] Lenny:
Yep. |
| [18:15] Chruser:
Yes. |
| [18:15] Yawgmoth:
Anime Forum rename Animation and Comics and subforum of Art and Culture |
| [18:15] Chruser:
Text link. Yes. |
| [18:15] Chruser:
(Depending on avaialble on-screen space) |
| [18:15] Lenny:
Yeah, why not. |
| [18:16] Yawgmoth:
Entertainment adn Sports - Hobbies and Interests subforum? |
| [18:16] Chruser:
Entertainment and Sports. |
| [18:16] Chruser:
Yes. |
| [18:16] Chruser:
Or perhaps. |
| [18:16] Yawgmoth:
I would like to have Animation and Comics visibly but I could agree on textlink |
| [18:16] Lenny:
Text link sub, yeah. |
| [18:16] Chruser:
"Entertainment" and "Sports" as separate sub-forums of "Hobbies and Interests". |
| [18:16] Yawgmoth:
Entertainment (movies and music) could be Art and Culture |
| [18:17] Lenny:
^ Entertainment and Sports. |
| [18:17] Lenny:
FFS post you bloody thing. |
| [18:17] Yawgmoth:
I say separate Entertainment from Sports |
| [18:17] Lenny:
Am I the only one getting lag? |
| [18:17] Chruser:
Yes, you are. |
| [18:17] Yawgmoth:
Sports into subforum of Hobbies and Interest, Entertainment as subforum of H&I or A&C |
| [18:17] Lenny:
Buggerage. |
| [18:18] Chruser:
Okay. |
| [18:18] Lenny:
I agree with those. |
| [18:18] Lenny:
Entertainment as A&C sub. |
| [18:18] Yawgmoth:
Entertaintment - should it be Art or Hobbies? |
| [18:18] Yawgmoth:
A&C is ok with me. |
| [18:18] Lenny:
Art and Culture. |
| [18:18] Yawgmoth:
I have a little lag |
| [18:19] Lenny:
Maybe split Entertainment into two - Music, Literature. |
| [18:19] Lenny:
Possibly even a third for Films? |
| [18:19] Yawgmoth:
The Arts - merge with Art and Culture |
| [18:19] Chruser:
I respond slowly due to my act of writing the change log. |
| [18:19] Lenny:
Yep. |
| [18:19] Lenny:
No worries. |
| [18:19] Yawgmoth:
If interest is there, we can split Entertainment |
| [18:19] Lenny:
Split it first, and if there's no interest merge them. |
| [18:19] Chruser:
Possibly with a sub-forum of Visual Arts, but I agree with the merge for now. |
| [18:20] Yawgmoth:
LIterature is a part of Art and Culture |
| [18:20] Chruser:
We'll move threads accordingly later. |
| [18:20] Yawgmoth:
(as it was previously in the Arts) |
| [18:20] Chruser:
Sub-forum or part of it? |
| [18:20] Lenny:
Sub. |
| [18:20] Yawgmoth:
Literature part of |
| [18:20] Lenny:
If there's no interest, merge. |
| [18:21] Chruser:
Right now, there would be a massive "Arts and Culture" forum for visual arts and literature, with a sub-forum for "Entertainment" |
| [18:21] Yawgmoth:
I say keep it simple first |
| [18:21] Chruser:
Hail the prefixes. |
| [18:21] Yawgmoth:
There is not much interest in visual arts |
| [18:21] Yawgmoth:
Or is it? |
| [18:21] Lenny:
Haven't a clue. |
| [18:21] Yawgmoth:
I prefer to keep it simple and split/sub as need arises |
| [18:22] Chruser:
Not really. |
| [18:22] Chruser:
I think we could make it happen, but for now, no. |
| [18:22] Chruser:
Agreed. |
| [18:22] Chruser:
Automotive Forum. Sub-forum of "Hobbies and Interests". |
| [18:22] Lenny:
I'm the other wa round. |
| [18:22] Yawgmoth:
Merging would only make people wail of the decline of Zelaron |
| [18:22] Yawgmoth:
Yes |
| [18:22] Lenny:
Keep them split, then merge if not popular. |
| [18:22] Lenny:
Automotive =sub. Yes. |
| [18:22] Chruser:
Agreed. |
| [18:22] Chruser:
History Forum. |
| [18:23] Yawgmoth:
A new sub-forum or split is a thing to celebrate, a merge is mourning. |
| [18:23] Yawgmoth:
History Forum is sub. |
| [18:23] Yawgmoth:
(of HObbies) |
| [18:23] Lenny:
But with a place to post things, people will see it and think, "Look! We have a dedicated Literature forum. I can finally post there". |
| [18:23] Lenny:
History = Interest sub. Yes. |
| [18:23] Chruser:
That is true. |
| [18:24] Chruser:
We will consider adding a literature forum once the rehaul is complete. |
| [18:24] Chruser:
Tech News and Help. |
| [18:24] Lenny:
Sub of Science and Tech. |
| [18:24] Lenny:
Maybe a visible one. |
| [18:24] Yawgmoth:
I think the most important bit for now is to make everything less complex and cluttered. Tech News - sub of Science and Technology |
| [18:24] Lenny:
In fact, definitely visible. |
| [18:24] Lenny:
The Help bit, at least. |
| [18:25] Yawgmoth:
I would actually like some changes to the forum-theme |
| [18:25] Lenny:
The skins? |
| [18:25] Yawgmoth:
A sub-forum dedicating to the Singularity? |
| [18:25] Yawgmoth:
Yes, the default one. |
| [18:25] Chruser:
Okay. |
| [18:25] Lenny:
What is this Singularity? |
| [18:25] Chruser:
Hosted section. |
| [18:26] Lenny:
Keep as is. |
| [18:26] Lenny:
Though it might be worth having a word with some Dragoons to see if they still want it. |
| [18:26] Chruser:
Move All to arbitrary forums for search engine hits as retribution exerted upon the clans for wasting server space. |
| [18:26] Chruser:
Then Kill All. |
| [18:27] Chruser:
Actually, we're going to establish a functional system for applying for your own hosted forums soon. |
| [18:27] Chruser:
So yes, keep for now. |
| [18:27] Chruser:
And! We're done! |
| [18:27] Lenny:
Either keep them as they are, or make them like NWO - you need a password to enter if you're not part of it. |
| [18:27] Yawgmoth:
We're done for now? |
| [18:27] Yawgmoth:
Yay |
| [18:27] Chruser:
Lenny, do you have mass move capacity? |
| [18:27] Chruser:
Thanks for helping me reorganize Zelaron. |
| [18:28] Lenny:
Looks like it. |
| [18:28] Chruser:
I will start making the required changes straight away. |
| [18:28] Lenny:
Erm probably. |
| [18:28] Yawgmoth:
What is this New World Order? |
| [18:28] Chruser:
I'll post the change log. |
| [18:28] Lenny:
Mass Move: I just select a lot of threads and move them, right? |
| [18:29] Chruser:
I think so. |
| [18:29] Chruser:
New World Order? |
| [18:29] Yawgmoth:
Suggestion: We could see how this overhaul goes and then have a new meeting later on and decide if we can remove some or add others,etc? |
| [18:29] Chruser:
Yawgmoth, that sounds ideal. |
| [18:29] Lenny:
I'd be up for it. |
| [18:30] Yawgmoth:
Say - two weeks from now? |
| [18:30] Lenny:
And do any of us mind if the other two of us argue over small details like sub-forums splits and names and whatnot in the Forum Re-Organisation thread? |
| [18:30] Chruser:
I have a "mass move" feature in the Admin CP which lets me move all threads of a particular forum (or category) to another. |
| [18:30] Chruser:
It is slightly frightening to use, as one misclick will effectively move all threads in the entire forum into some inappropriate location. |
| [18:31] Lenny:
And do any of us mind if the other two of us argue over small details like sub-forums splits and names and whatnot in the Forum Re-Organisation thread? |
| [18:31] Chruser:
tacoX has accomplished such an endeavour once. |
| [18:31] Lenny:
I should be able to make that, yeah. Just give me a date in a week or so and I'll see if I'm available. Maybe a bit earlier though, next time. :p |
| [18:31] Yawgmoth:
That is what the thread is for |
| [18:31] Lenny:

| [18:31] Chruser:
A meeting sounds good. |
| [18:31] Chruser:
In two weeks from now, that is. |
| [18:31] Lenny:
I don't mind going through them one by one, Chruser. |
| [18:31] Lenny:
I've got tomorrow free, too. |
| [18:31] Lenny:
And Tuesday. |
| [18:31] Lenny:
And Tuesday. |
| [18:31] Chruser:
Fair enough. |
| [18:31] Yawgmoth:
I will look over the changes once they are made and see if I can see any faults or problems in our previous thinking |
| [18:32] Chruser:
I'll start moving things around. |
| [18:32] Chruser:
All right. |
| [18:32] Lenny:
And Wednesday. In fact, every day until July. =P |
| [18:32] Chruser:
Thanks for your help, Yawgmoth and Lenny. |
| [18:32] Yawgmoth:
I think reaching an optimum organization of Zelaron will take some time |
| [18:32] Chruser:
The rest of you are useless. |
| [18:32] Lenny:
And Wednesday. In fact, every day until July. =P |
| [18:33] Yawgmoth:
Hmm, is there som reason to keep the default skin as is - or could I suggest some changes? |
| [18:33] Chruser:
I am inclined to agreement regarding your statement. |
| [18:33] System: Lenny
has left the chat |
| [18:33] Chruser:
What kind of changes? |
| [18:33] Yawgmoth:
(We would need to go over all the titles of the forums and their descriptive texts) |
| [18:33] System: Lenny
has joined the chat |
| [18:33] Lenny:

| [18:34] Yawgmoth:
Going away from the "[Subject] Forum" style of naming the forums and subforums is a huge step forward |

| [18:35] Lenny:
=P |
| [18:35] Yawgmoth:
I will go now |
| [18:35] Chruser:
Changing the forum descriptions is fairly straight-forward, like watching Memento in reverse. |

Rest for the Wicked |

| [18:39] Lenny:
Are you doing the re-organisation of the forums now, Chruser? |
| [18:40] Chruser:
Yes. |
| [18:40] Chruser:
WW forgot to remove a few install files, which I will take care of. |
| [18:40] Lenny:
Righto. Tell me when you want me to start moving posts, if indeed you do want me to |
| [18:41] Chruser:
Give me a second |
| [18:41] Lenny:
I'll just take the time to make sure I'm familiar with the new layout, so I don't move posts to the wrong place. |
| [18:41] Chruser:
Setting up dual screen mode for proper forum management. |
| [18:41] Lenny:
I'd kill for a second monitor, I would. :p |
