Board structure suggestion

[relux]

Edit- nm thought you had made some major changes.

NSFW is a sub-forum of Off-Topic. I think it belongs there as it is basically off-topic chat for sick/perverted people.

thanks shwaggy, any way you can do it so we can see when new posts are made in there, latest poster etc? cuz right now youd have to go in there to see

If you click into Off-Topic then it does show up top if there's new posts in there.
If the last post made in Off-Topic was actually in the Sub-Forum then it shows on the main board as last post.
Not sure if there's a better way to do it, or what you were thinking it might look like?

You can also use the show all new posts button which will show you all new posts on the forum in general.

there is also the icon for the forum that has a pencil next to it when there's new posts and the child forum icon turns into a little flag.

[Shwaggy]

I apologize for the changes but I think this format makes logical sense.

Moved Retro Gaming and PC Gaming to "Gaming Scene". Moved Mobile from a sub-forum of console to Gaming Scene - mobiles aren't consoles.
Moved Music Discussion to Media Scene with Movie and TV talk. Music is a form of media and is art/entertainment like TV/movies.
Did some slight renaming of the forums.

[Dr_Grinch]

I like it, good job man.

Almost there, but I still think that there should be a general gaming board instead of console board. Nowadays there's lot of multiplatform games, so it would be nice to talk about a game in a single topic, instead of creating one for every platform.

I would rename the general console gaming to general gaming and place PC gaming as a child board, just like Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.

[ViRuS_PW]

nice, i like it too

Automotive should become a child of off topic as well since its not a big enough forum to have its own place imo, just not enough topics are being created there i find, not sure if you guys thought about it before.


also for NSFW the rules should be simplified or updated i think.. like no CP or underage etc etc i know it takes time to do everything just wanted to throw it out there.

[SkiLLz]

Good job Shwag, it looks a lot better. The only thing I would suggest is to move Mobile out of Gaming since it's more of a hardware/application discussion than a game discussion. Also, Automotive -> OT makes sense as well.

(I lost my 13337 post count by posting this )

[Shwaggy]

I was thinking about Automotive as a sub-forum too but then the "General" category would only have one main forum and I don't care for a single forum category. Maybe merge the Website Feedback sections into General?

Changed ... I like it, but of course I'm biased.

I'm not sure what to do with "News Postings". Seems like a redundant forum or something that was relevant with a feature that we don't have now.

I wanna bring that back when we get a frontpage again. It auto populated a frame on the front page, and had an RSS feed tied to it as well.

[Shwaggy]

OK, cool. I think this looks good. I still see purpose in keeping separate sub-forums for the different console makers. We'll look at it again in the future.
