Breaking Forum into Pieces?

LazarusLong42 · #1 September 29th, 2001, 12:06 AM

The SE4 forum has a lot of useful information, but it's not very well-organized. It also has a _lot_ of topics and Posts: more than twice as many as the rest of the Shrapnel Boards _combined_.

Would it, perhaps, be possible to break the single SE4 forum into several forums? I might propose a few:

General SE4 Discussion
(Newbie questions, OT/semi-OT discussions, patch questions)

Bug Reports and Suggestions
Strategies
Game Discussions
Mod Discussions
(pretty much all self-explanatory)

Richard? Everyone else? What think us?

Seems to be good as is.

Everyone posting here keeps it lively.

What would be nice at least is if Ricard could make a link at the top to a F.A.Q. that would answer some of the easy questions for beginners. Even if it's just a list of links to useful threads. We have tried making FAQ threads, but they keep drifting down to the later pages. If it stays at the top, it will be easier to find.

Edit: Of course there is an FAQ link now, but it is for forum questions, not specific to SEIV.

i like Geoschmo's idea, always having a topic on top

Let the admins toggle an "always on top" option for various threads kind of thing? As long as it dosen't get too crowded up there
