kk - before I post this, I need to know a couple things from you guys.
#1 - should I post that admins have two hidden forums. I think it should be out in the open - that we have them, what they are, and the reasons for them being hidden.
#2 - I just took a bunch of peoples idea's and pretty much tried to do all of them and organized them like rooms in a house, for want of a better idea. Like I say in the post - no name changes are neccessary, it's just how I did the organization - like the "home" that b77 is
I haven't done a split of the symposium, cause I'm not quite sure how to do this. That, and where should the symposium go? The Turf? or The Library?
#3 - organization of the forums *has* to be convenient for the admins - I would like some suggestions from you guys. *However* - please don't suggest any cuts made here - do that in the thread once it's posted please. I find it's easier to make something as big as possible - to give people the most amount of options - and cut it down afterwards
I'd like to post the most complex version in the discussion, and let it be cut down in the process of the discussion in the thread in the business forum.
Ok, this is the post I was writing up for the "Restructuring the Boards" thread in the business forum. I'll do a direct link if one of you guys tells me how to do it - I can't get it to show up as the word being the link
is it [ url = "thread name" ]
www.website.com [/ url] ? Cause that doesn't work for me
anywho, here's the post I'll be making - please comment!
So we definitely want an "Admin Request" subforum, and a "m77t and geek" (m00t and tolkien events
) subforum. There's also been talk of basically what amounts to a "homebase forum", so I'll throw that in my example as well as well.
We could also - based on the "Home Sweet Home" thread - have each master forum named after part of a home. Just an idea on that one
I'll add in examples of that in my example below. Not saying that if there is a restructuring of the board, there would have to be a re-naming as well! No, no, no - just an idea that's been bandied around.
Now what about Master forums?
Lemme kinda show you guys what I meant with my little thingy I talked about.... I'm gonna go all out here - as many different forums as I can think of - after all, it's easier to cut off what's not needed, than to keep adding
