Forum cleaning time - Suggestions welcome!

[gabe]

I will be moving some threads around and possible creating/deleting forums. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the forums, either by rearranging stuff, adding something new or doing things differently, now is the time to voice your opinion!

I will keep this thread open for 2 weeks (don't hold me to that).

One thing I hope you do is archive in raw (but searchable) form the old material. Regardless of how hard we try, we'll realize we really would of liked a copy of something about two weeks or so after it's removed (and have the same problem periodically thereafter).

Jim,

What do you mean by "after it's removed"? I thought I had things set up to never delete anything (unless I personally do it manually).

Can you not see all the threads in the subforums? It could be a simple permissions thing I overlooked. (As an admin, I see all, so I just assumed registered users could also see everything.)

OK, I think I have set this up correctly. You should be able to see all threads instead of from the past x days/weeks. Please let me know if this is the case.

A suggestion would be too make a general forum for socialization. For reasons why, please see the most recent? post on the student lounge forum.

I had interpreted "deleting forums" as meaning removing everything, including the posts in the forum, from online access.

I had originally intended the student lounge to be for anything that didn't fit in the other forums...including socialization. Hence the description "general discussion."

the he-builder and she-builder has very limit choice upon the character. I wish Alice could add more features to it. There are lots of gaming websites that have tons of examples, so I think that Alice could add that in.
