[POLL] Remove "Looking For Group" Subforum - Avalanche - 10-13-2020
Just thinking aloud. The "Looking For Group" subforum is not used. It's got a "last post" date of almost 4 weeks ago.
For new comers to the forum, our second highest subforum having a "last post" date of 4 weeks ago isn't a good first impression.
Plus, it takes up screen real estate.
Considering it is not used really at all, I propose we scrap it.
Have your say in the poll.

That's players looking for groups, not groups advertising for playerbases, post date would be irrelevant because that depends on the person, it doesn't necessarily indicate activity. It's harmless to have.

My suggestion would be to make a template for "Introduce yourself" forum where people can add in a "looking for group" paragraph with activity type, or something like that. 2 in 1, much more active forum.

looks good to me
factions just have been active in getting new people

I agree we should remove the forum

Thanks for reminding me about that subforum. It is an underrated tool.
It's one of those things that are only as useful as people make them, meaning it requires active community participation to be useful and if it gets that, then it is a VERY useful tool to have. I'd say keep it.

Yes.
Why does it bother you tho? It's a useful tool. It doesn't hurt anyone.

Should not have to remove something if it’s actually being used
If it had not been used for 6 months or more then fair enough
And it’s useful for new players to post wanting to get involved
Needs to stay
It doesn’t need removing because there is nothing wrong with it where it is
