Screw Sub-sections. Just 1 section with Threads for Each MMO. From there we just add if there is MMO related news.
Sub-sections are way easier to find ... and they promote willingness to start new threads by newcomers as opposed to derailing main threads with noob queries.Quote:

If it takes off and there is demand then sub forums are somehting we can look at down the line.
I personally don't like forums where there are loads of sub sections and everything is divided. What are your thoughts on this?
Agreed, we can add [EVE] / (insert game title) tag to the thread title of say SA Eve players list in the single MMO page, and then have general mmo discussions in a single threadQuote:

OK guys, Im gonna put it up.
Agree. Subsection will make it look cluttered and be daunting for newbies. Like OC said. We do a FAQ for each MMO, Player Guid all things like that. The senior guyz will keep an eye on the threads and help/guide new members and should there be spam we will call in Tinman or Rusty with the Banhammers.Quote:

Awesome thanks TM! :DQuote:

I think the tagging system could work ... up to a point.Quote:

As you say, the forum is still small, but as it gets bigger, maybe look at creating subsections for the bigger (and more discussed) MMO's.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
Ok I'll create DDO FAQ thread and Player Guide.
Senior Members.... Pick your MMO and make Tinman proud.
Thanks Tin!
Nice one :D!Quote:

I like the idea of a snr member 'taking charge' of a specific MMO .......
I didn't see that thread. U better ask Tinman to move it.
Well there are alot of MMO's and Tinman and Rusty have their hands full. So even without Admin rights we, the senior members, can still police and take charge of 1 specific MMO. Thus sharing the reponsibility and only calling upon the mods in a time of need.Quote:

Wilco Tinman. Thnx for this Tinman.
What about creating threads such as this and sticky-ing them?:
Dungeons & Dragons Online - General Discussion
Eve Online - General Discussion
Guild Wars - General Discussion
Guild Wars 2 - General Discussion
World of Warcraft - General Discussion
Obviously the Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eve and Guild Wars 2 threads that already exist would just have their titles edited and be stickied instead of creating new threads :)
Well ... there is a D&D Online discussion already ... so I guess that just needs to be renamed and stickied.
I've created the Guild Wars FAQ so long - I'll put the GW discussion thread up in a bit.
WOOP WOOP! Huge Thanks to Tinman and the secret handshake powers that be people!
I was vloeking my eyesight looking for the EVE thread and didn't see the MMO section!
Been gone for awhile..... see we have a MMO section. THX tin..
guys lovely work !
