Would a topic under Rules and Announcements do? Topics over categories is a heavy theme of this layout.

FRAXY Help is discussion of Fraxy, surely? So that's where it goes. The same argument can be made for tutorials; especially helpful tutorials could be stickied.
Zaximillian wrote: * Bosses and TRYs should be minor categories of a larger group. This way, BGs, imagefonts, player craft, sounds, and drones can be given their own categories. For far too long, bosses are the ONLY thing the UFF tends to produce. We should actively avoid favoring one element of FRAXY production so that many can contribute according to their skill sets.
I'm not seeing how putting Bosses and Trys in subcategories would accomplish that goal? I'll add Drones into the section title. Fraxy graphics, sound effects and image fonts could go into the Off-Topic section, since they're not necessarily specific to Fraxy like .feds and Trys are. If we didn't have the pips, I'd rename Off-Topic to General.

I like it all, except I'm curious as to what "Ask the UFF" is?
Is it polls? If so then everything is fine.
Looking at my post history makes me cringe hardcore.

Forum Games and Anything Else are best separated. IMO.

Disagree. They don't matter particularly much and so we can afford to put them together.

Anything Else is General Discussion. Forum Games are in fact separate, the difference is that if you want to write fiction etc it also goes there. Ask the UFF is indeed Polls.

I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING I FORGOT

adding more stuff, resetting votes.

VOTE AGAIN CHUMPS.

OK how the hell do I reset votes. I thought changing the question and/or answers did it? Oh well you can revote anyway.

and you'd better because I've swapped the positions of 'fix it' and 'no thanks'

Do you want me to reset the votes for you? Or should we leave it as is?

@Dualer: They are there in disguise: "Anything Else" is "General Discussion" because it makes logical sense to put that content at the top, but it looks awkward if 'anything else' isn't at the bottom. "Polls" is "Ask the UFF" because that's a more interesting name.

@Zax: As I said, I'd rename it to 'General' if we didn't have the pips. If VR's willing to make new pips, it can be so.
