Hopefully at some point this month, we'll be making the upgrade to vB5. There's a decent amount of background work that will go into it, and making further tweaks to our existing layout and features will be null and void once the switch is made. As such, I have mostly stopped doing a lot the stuff I was doing since I would only have to go back and do it all over again. Why do something twice when you only have to do it once, yes? To that end, I feel it would be a good idea if we addressed our forum layout. It's been bandied about that we add some subforums, and I'm all for that. But, we should probably nail down what we want so that we don't have to hem and haw over stuff after the switch; we can have what we want spelled out so it can be implemented immediately.
I was thinking something like this:
General
* Introductions and Adverts
*Communications
*General Discussion
RP Discussion
*Star Wars RP Planning and Discussion
*General RP Planning and Discussion
Star Wars Roleplay
*The Galaxy
*Faction Homeworlds
- Bothawui
~ Recruitment Center
- Ossus
~ The Landing Pad
- Coruscant
~ Recruitment Center
- Tanaab
- Bespin
- Onderon, Dathomir, and the Hapes Cluster
General Roleplay
*General Roleplay
*Mutants Unite!
*World of Darkness
Hobbies
*Star Wars
*Box Office, TV, and Other Media
*Gaming
*Sports Hangout
*Artist's Medium
Archives
*The Great Library
And of course the staff stuff at the very bottom.
I've mixed up the order a little bit, as I feel we are at our hearts storytellers, and what we love should be as close to the top as possible. But, that's just me. I do feel that the other factions would benefit from a subforum of their own, as Ossus has, but at this time I'd rather leave it up to others in those groups to make that decision.
Thoughts and/or comments?
