What about riorganize the forum ?

liga · #1 February 18th, 2004, 12:25 PM

Hi,

I'm not able to connect to forum so much often as I want and I find very difficult to find the informations and thread I need quickly ... since the number of Posts in the forum seem to me to be quite big, why don't split the forum in 3/4 parts ... something like

- general disccussion
- PBEM/LAN games
- MODS and discussiona about modding
- helps

in the Last group (helps) I will also like to see the thread like the one on Quick Ref Sheet, Messages about usefull sites/links and so on ...

is that possibile or "is just a dream" ?

anyway, thank to all for teh great support you are giving to this great game!

One part already exists. There is a PbEM forum here:

I know ... in theory there is also a general mod section ... but doms2 players seems to prefer to stay and post under the 'Illwinter Game Design' hat and no one really use the other sections ... so, why don't make the split just here ...

How about reversing the post order first?

Actually, there are others who have expressed a wish for the display to be reversed from what it is now. Ideally, there will some day be the option for people to choose individually. There is an upgrade scheduled for the future but I have no idea when.

The general Shrapnel forums has a poll on ths subject. As far as I can tell its still fairly tied with "leave it this way" slightly in the lead

But back on the original topic... Id like to see some division so that the general user questions dont get lost so fast. GamePlay and Development as seperate forums. Questions about playing, and AARs can go in GamePlay. All of the stuff about running servers, making maps, making mods, and wish-lists could go in the development forum

It shouldn't be an either-or situation. It should be a user option. Those that are content can have it their way, those that are unhappy can change it for themselves. I'm not a big fan of one-size-fits-all.

So, what's stopping you, Mr. Moderator?
