Discussion - Forum Mergers/ Disbands

[Morgan Evanar]

1) Since we are moving soon, and we have a new access policy in place for Avalon - I feel that General Assembly could easily be merged into Avalon. They're serving idenitcal purposes at this point.

2) Way of the Warrior - Warriors can conduct thier bussines the same place as everyone else - Avalon and the Academy.
The NRSF has it's own board, and could easily set up at Home One if it felt a need to exercise a presence on a different message board. I feel the NRSF is, and should be, regarded as a totally seperate entity.

[Loki Ahmrah]

Both points seem logical enough to me. Agreed.

[Eldrak Gruuhl]

I too am agreed with it, but would ask that it not be done until the thread transfers to SWFans/SWForums are complete. I hope to have the process begun within the next few days. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[Shade Magus]

I agree also.

[Navaria Tarkin]

I am for those ideas as well. Less forums and a back-up for the NRSF <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[AmazonBabe]

Go for it.

[Sage Hazzard]

I suppose that's fine. Unless any new pro and cons come to mind or are voiced by others, I say fine.

The NRSF has it's own board?

[Morgan Evanar]

Yes, completely underutilized/used, undesigned etc etc etc.

Not that I really care at the moment. I'm going to wait a bit until the new fleet rulings really settle in.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

I am for this too. But..didn't Marcus want to revamp and keep The Ways of The Warrior?? <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/OOooh.gif ALT=":???">

[Morgan Evanar]

I don't see why they couldn't use the same forums available to everyone else to conduct thier business.

"Wipe them out...all of them"

Seriously, if you can condense a forum, do so.

[Morgan Evanar]

Well, now that we've moved, it should be really easy to do.

My only worry is Mark, but he has had the opertunity to voice objections, and hasn't.

*shrug*

[Master Yoghurt]

Well, lets start with moving threads from General Assembly into Avalon and Roleplaying helpdesk first, as no one would object to that anyway.

[Morgan Evanar]

Oki.. I feel the vast majority of those threads are best suited in Avalon anyway, and the ones that would sway twoards helpdesk can be re-adressed there if need be.

[Master Yoghurt]

Yep, lets get em moved :)

[TheHolo.Net]

The thread spinner works very well for mass moving. Let me know which forums to nix when you are finished.

[Morgan Evanar]

Threads have been moved from Gen Assembly to Avalon.

You are free to release the cleaner squad, General .Net

[TheHolo.Net]

The cleaner squad has done the deed.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Actually, I've been too busy travelling and work to really care less about any forum makeovers or whatever. So.... whatever I dont be really caring right now.

[Morgan Evanar]

I'd like to bring up point 2 again, now that it has a chance to be defended.

[Helenias Evenstar]

An idea to ponder - How about a New Republic presence, of some kind?

[Oriadin]

How do you mean?

[Morgan Evanar]

*Grumbles* Seperation of character. The Jedi have always been loyal but seperate, and I want it to stay that way.

[TheHolo.Net]

I think Yog is considering bringing the NR's "Home One" board here to SWFans in the future possibly.

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm going to do it. I shall discuss arangements with Shawn.

[TheHolo.Net]

I have been told that Shawn approved and the forums are now here.

Located:

The current placement of the forums is still under consideration and debate. For right now its in the NRSF and Warrior forum here at GJO.
