Default Too many Forums

I think their are too many forums, we should consolidate them into more like General Discussion, Flames, etc..

We don't need one for zones/aa's/items/Tradeskilling etc... it's supposed to be a flame forum not a eq2players clone!

just my 2cp.


p.s LFG ur a noob.

/agree

Should just parse it down to like at max 10 forums.

Not sure the TSkill, and other forums on top are ever going to be used.....

That's what I thought at first, but now that I'm actually seeing this firsthand, I'm liking the forum-for-forum copy of the official forum site; it'll make it very easy for anyone to transition. And believe it or not, I do read the Tradeskill forum. :/

I believe it will become impossible for this site to get the full activity it desires and deserves unless it pushes away as much of our dependency on eq2players.com as possible.

Ya, here was my thought in setting it up like this.

Let's say you are reading EQ2Players.com, and you see someone make a seriously retarded post, and you want to call them a dumbass or worse.

You can't do that there.

But you can come here, and type the same post name in the same section here, or even type the person's name in your post title, such as, can you believe how big of a dumbass XYZ is? And then you can continue that discussion here instead of there.

How bout we try it like this for a week or so? If people don't take to this layout, I'm happy to change it and reduce the number of forums.

Just one other suggestion: If you think it looks like too many forums, maybe just hit the "collapse" button (little triangle graphic on top of each section) to collapse the server forums.

Anyway, my goal was to make this site similar enough to EQ2Players.com, without making it "substantially similar". I wanted to make it so that people would be immediately comfortable using it, without any of the bad things about EQ2Players.com.

So I'd appreciate if we could at least run with this layout for a week or so, lemme know if you still think it is too much then.

Thanks

The problem with that approach is when flames and criticism are a tightly woven part of the debate; it would get inconvenient to always run away to vent and then come back refreshed. That's like having a weak bladder or always running outside for a cigarette.

Which is to say, if serious calm discussion doesn't thrive here, then neither will serious flame discussion.

I agree, since this site is basically being catered to the raid community, why break it up into server forums at all?

You only need 3 forums

Make one called

"Raiding Guilds Flaming Each other"

Make another called

"Arguments about DPS"

And one more called

"WAHHHHHH Why isn't the loot on (INSERT RAID MOB HERE) better!!"

Can we also have a:

"Fuck you Kalidon, you limp dick piece of shit"

forum?

Or a:

"We raiders have no lives, are 15 and live in our parents basement"

forum?

Cause then it would pwn.
