Proposal: A new forum layout

Post by MintE »

Connie got me thinking, I wanted to reorganize the forums. Honestly, as it stands, this place is rather messy. I just thought I'd try and condense it up a bit.

Here's my draft:

Fraxy Home
* Rules, Info, News and Announcements
+ Rules and Information located here, as well as News and Announcements.
(Obviously, all the information from the two forums are merged here)
* Feedback
+ Give the staff feedback on how we can improve the forums.
(The exact same forum)
* About You($)
+ Create a thread here introducing yourself or welcoming a new member of the forum.
If you happen to be leaving the forum post about it here.
(The exact same as "Introduce Yourself" but now with general-ness)
Fraxy HQ
* General Fraxy Discussion
+ Users can discuss anything about Fraxy here.
(Discuss anything related to the game itself, not much of a change other than name)
* Bosses
+ Users can post anything about bosses here.
- Boss Uploader
The UFF Boss Uploader where you can upload your Bosses and download others'.
(Anything at all related to bosses [and drones] goes here. Previews and ideas go here just with tags e.g. [Preview])
* TRY
+ Users can discuss anything about TRYs here.
(Before this forum implied only posting try files and not just discussing them. well now it is for anything TRY related. Again tag things)
* Help
+ Users can request help about anything here.
(This is help for anything and anything at all. Yes it is in the Fraxy Forum section and yes it does apply to forum help. I however do not care.)
Competitive Fraxy
* Current Battles and Contests
+ Here users can create battles and contests.
* Voting and Finished Battles and Contests
+ Here users can vote on battles and contests.
(Wheee large change, I'm ditching the redundant and pointless stages to battles and contests. I'm replacing it with a Current forum, and a Done forum. Within each you shall tag [battle] or [contest].)
Off-Topic
* Forum Games
+ Here users can create and play forum games.
* Media
+ Here users can post about any form of media (music, videos, videogames, etc.).
(Only one here that gets changed, this merges the music forum, videogame forum, and video forum into one, single, forum. Tags aren't needed here)
* Polls
+ Here users can post polls to get a feel for what the forums are thinking.
* Anything Else
+ Here users can post anything else.
Key:
* is forum
+ is description
- is subforum (I nuked them all except boss uploader)
() is notes about that forum

I'm not entirely sure it is exactly how I'd like it, but SS is trying to get me to push it out the door. So, I guess this will have to do for now.

Let me know what you all think, I'm dying to know.

Looks good to me, although the thought of altering the forum's layout never crossed my mind, and the more I think about it, the more arbitrary it seems. But that's just my personal opinion and I wouldn't complain if it did get changed to this.

Well I just want to clean up the forums a bit. I know it is rather pointless, but hell, I got to justify being admin somehow!

I approve. Honestly thought it needed it for awhile now.

Does it involve clearing out all the forum threads made so far?

no, merging is all.

No deleting of any kind (except for maybe some in the transitory stages of our battle system, I dunno, I typically stay out of that, but I'm sure we can work something out.)

Also sorry about the lack of formatting.

I would have used a code tag but I never thought about it until just now.


Oh well!

Oh, then okay. I have nothing against it then.
