Proposal: A new forum layout
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 10:47 pm
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.
