Forum Reorganization

[SolitaryPride]

Yes that would be a great idea, sense you do see a lot of people asking the same thing
Great idea Cana!

that is cool but, is the new WQ still coming out between this month and next month?

[BrijBug11]

Good idea i am a newbie and i don't know how to post a new topic of posts miles of smiles

[Sintact]

It's coming in November, hopefully. You should read the Forum Guidelines then. If you have any question about the Community you can visit the FAQ, if you still have questions feel free to start a new topic at the "Tips, Hints and Help" category, or just PM a Moderator with your questions.

If you want to create a new topic just click in a category of the forum (the one you need), and then search for the button that says "New Topic".

[Aurora Alaska]

This sounds interesting, it doesn't seem like it will be that much of a change but the way you describe it it will be . . . I'm sure it'll seem great in the end, I'm a bit excited!

[Larkarl]

Er, I'm pretty sure I know why you're changing the layout, especially for the topics in General Other.

Have fun organizing...?

[Griffinsong]

Thanks Cana; this sounds like a good idea.

cool i thnik this is an awsome idea!

[Sintact]

I see now more changes, though I don't really like them. It will be hard to re-organize all the topics that need to be moved to the new category of the forum "Get to know each other", I think it is unnecessary, but well. It will keep the topics more separated... just in a more specific way.

A better idea would be to make it a sub-forum of other topic discussions.
And make "Introduce Yourself" a part or sub-forum for "Get to know each other"
Just suggestion, the forum looks more disorganized to me now.

Thanks for the comment, Sintact. We've debated a few ways of going about changing the organization of the OTD- one main point was to move things that really aren't games from the forum Games subforum. Most of the things in that forum that were posted but weren't games were basically just questions to other users, so we made the GTKEO forum. I debated putting Introduce Yourself as a subforum of GTKEO, but it is important to keep that forum easy to find for new users. So.... we'll see how this works, and if it doesn't, I can always change it again.

I believe the only things I have left to change are the stickied topics... that may take me a while to put them into the FAQ or WQ News and Announcements posts.

In any case, there could be a "welcome" message at the beginning of the forums saying the rules, objective of the forum and a little bit about the community such as help guides, advertising the "Introduce Yourself" topic and other things (where to start). That way we can guide people to start sneaking over the community and making their own way as well.

Plus "Introduce Yourself" is somehow the same as saying "GTKEO", we give our information, bla bla, etc. If new members need help finding a topic or they have problems with the organization of the forums, they can always ask a Moderator for help.

But still, I find extremely disorganized the way the forums are now, I'm not criticizing and I know that there are not finished yet, but still.
