Speaking as someone who has done this - I had The Dumb that day.Yes, I do like the homey feel here.
I always wondered why forum owners created like 50 sub-forums right off the bat for just about every topic. A sure way to make it appear dead.
That should be momentum. He'll scrap the whole thing if we bring 2d20 into it...Does doing so add to our Doom Pool?
I think a reviews forum could be a good addition.
All right, those are two additions I wouldn’t be opposed to.I think just adding a crowdfunding/bundle/ads forum is good enough.
This is mostly how I work too. The only reason I care is when I post and have to pick a section.To me, the forum is all one big thing under a link called "New Posts", where I Ctrl-Click on anything I find possibly interesting, then when I've gone through the list click "Mark forums read". I guess that means I don't find any value in the separation of sub-forums or feel the need for more (or any, for that matter). On the other hand, the ability to do that means it doesn't bother me if more sub-forums make people happy (as long as I can view them in that "View New Posts" manner.)
Or and hear me out:I would suggest this simplified structure:
Dank Memes Forum
All Other Topics Forum
Oh, no. I think the memes are so much better when you have to pick through them to find the conversations.I would suggest this simplified structure:
Dank Memes Forum
All Other Topics Forum

Actually, a format I used on a Fantasy Hoops site back in the day site that might actually kill here at the Pub is what I call the Statler and Waldorf approach. You get two regulars to have a back and forth conversation about something current, within the boundaries of the format, and publish it as an article. It's great for reviews too (it's what the Fear of a Black Dragon podcast does, if you've ever given that a listen). Rotating participants takes some of the pressure off too.
At present, our main forum a Bundle thread were the owner regularly drops in to provide customer service, and Mythras threads where Loz drops in with upcoming news. Are these the kind of things we are looking to banish? If we are going to change anything, I'd like to understand exactly what problem we are trying to fix.
As an outspoken opponent of more sub-forums, I'd be okay with a section for reviews. Ideally, some kind of database would be best, but I don't know if we will get enough reviews to justify the effort.Really about the only thing I think I'd like to see is a seperate section for reviews that I could go into. Otherwise I've enjoyed the basic setup of the site.

Yes, and I expect having some kind of database would encourage people to bring reviews here more than simply having a sub-forum. It would also be better to set this up from the beginning, rather than waiting for people to start 200 review threads, then deciding to migrate everything to a database.If you build it, they will come.
Bet we could get Dan Davenport to upload his substantial backlog of reviews just as a start
And just link to the swo thread ten times.What about a hall of fame subforum to archive the best threads?
I like this idea. I haven’t seen anything like it on any other RPG forum.What about a hall of fame subforum to archive the best threads?
TBP have one but I think ours should be more democratic than the mods telling everyone which threads are good.I like this idea. I haven’t seen anything like it on any other RPG forum.

Some of the threads haven’t been posted to in a couple years though. Some might not be remembered so readily.
Just the threads, not the resources themselves. Resources will always have their separate section. I am going to add a prefix to the threads that say “resource” to make them easier to See as well.wait resources into the main forum? won't that make them much harder to access?
That’s usual for most forums. Many of those are bots.As an kinda off topic remark. Ever notice that often there are more guests than there are members on the site? It's one of those things I can't help but be fascinated by.
