Forum Re-Organization
Hello Happy Folks! I come bearing gifts (or suggestions?)
Anyway, I find the layout of this forum ineffective and will as such give my expert opinion on how to improve it to perfection worthy of me: First, groupings! Several forums should be regrouped for clearer overview and secondly, some places should be renamed to make things more elegant. Suggested Improved Forum-list: Forum News and Discussion -Forum Suggestions -Talk to the Staff Introduce Yourself News and Events Tech News and Help (Could this be grouped under something?) Discussion: -Random Chatter (I dislike using "The [Subject] Forum".) -Conversation -Opinion and Debate -Life Discussion Gaming: -Computer Gaming --Diablo 2 --Starcraft 2 -Console Gaming --Sub-categories -Gaming Culture and Misc. (Would fit other things such as current Generic Gaming and Expos) Hobbies and Interests (New title?) -Science is Awesome! -Animation and Comics --Japanese Animation and Comics -Media Stuff! -The Arts -Automotive -History (Some of these ideas might have been stolen!) |
You steal your expert opinions?

The forum used to have six or seven such groupings, and it did look rather a mess, however much I liked it (hey, it was the familiar - who dislikes the familiar?). The current organisation of forums and sub-forums is based upon Grav's "Gravitised" version of the forums, and personally I think it works well.
I do like your idea about a separate Gaming section, though. If it were me suggesting a new layout, I'd split the Basement into two, and keep the Symposium and Lounge more or less as they are... in fact, I'll list it in your style in the order I'd put the forums: The Zelaron Symposium Forum News and Discussion - Forum Suggestions - Talk to the Staff Introduce Yourself Test Forum The Lounge News and Events Opinion and Debate Life Discussion Conversation Forum The Chat Forum - World Record Thread Flame Forum Gaming General Gaming Diablo 2 - D2 Sub-forums Computer Games and MMOs - Starcraft 2 - WoW Console Games and System - Final Fantasy - PS3 - 360 - Wii - PC Gaming Cons The Basement Entertainment and Sport - Hobbies and Interests The Arts - Anime Forum Automotive Forum History Forum Science Forum RPGMaker Tech News and Help "-" denotes a sub forum I agree that a few names could do with a bit of work. "Zelaron Laboratories" instead of "Science Forum", say, but you get the general idea. |
@Medieval Bob: Thanks for your input, I will consider it!
Oh Lenny, I think your suggestion would not be much of an improvement as the basement would still be very chaotic. But putting News and Events under the Lounge would be good. An improved suggestion from me would be: Zelaron Symposium: -Introduce Yourself -Forum News and Discussion --Forum Suggestions --Talk to the Staff The Lounge: -News and Events -Random Chatter --Flame Forum? -Conversation -Opinion and Debate -Life Discussion Zelaron Gaming: -Computer Gaming --Diablo 2 --Starcraft 2 --WoW -Console Gaming --Sub-categories -Traditional Games --Warhammer and stuff? -Gaming Culture and Misc. -Game Design and RPGMaker The Basement: -Science is Awesome! -Automotive -History -The Arts -Media Stuff! -Animation and Comics --Japanese Animation and Comics -Tech News and Help - could it be changed into a more generic title? Like... Technology or something. Generic tech... Stuff. Hmm, I think this can be further improved... Will think more about this. EDIT: The Basement-area could need improvement... Hmm... |
Updated list:
Zelaron Symposium: -Forum News and Discussion --Talk to the Staff (text-link) -Introduce Yourself -News and Events -Light Discussion --Flame Forum -Serious Discussion --Life Discussion Zelaron Gaming: -Digital Gaming --Diablo 2 -Traditional Gaming -Game Design and Theory --RPGMaker -Gaming Culture and Misc. The Basement: -Science and Technology --Tech News and Help --Come Singularity! -Art and Culture --Animation and Comics Numerous of these would be merges of previous forums (Animation and Comics include it's Japanese brothers and sisters in Anime and Manga.) |

Having forums "life" and "light" discussion is a bit confusing.

Great, things are much better now. Although there are still things that can be done better and some of the symbols are... Bad, I mean - clip art?
