I appreciate my original post sounded demanding / entitled to some. This is a suggestion of improvements in my eyes and I accept they are not perfect and other members can have different ideas which may compliment the ultimate goal of improving the forums to get more views on threads that are important for the life of mod.
Over the decade (wow everyone, we've been going for so long!) the forum has been growing and new sections have kept being added. Currently a lot of sub forums are very prominent when they are no longer used. The forums needs to be streamlined so new users can digest information more easily and the rest of us can find what is needed quicker.
Now I know the below change notes are quite hard to interpret. It's very wordy. I suggest you open both image urls and put them side by side and go down each simultaneously.
Change notes:
1. Relocate "LFG: Looking For Group" under Welcome!
2. Relocate "Events & Competitions" from "General Discussions" and put it under "Newcomers Section". It'll be very visible for all. I appreciate the Events & Competitions name doesnt' sound relevant to just Newcommers. The ultimate goal is to make the Events section at the top of the forum. Put it in the Newcommers section, give it it's own section or rename the Newcommers section.
Or you could put it above Stories & Biographies. That'll at least be better than hidden within General Discussions.
3. Remove "Server Events" under Discovery HQ. It doesn't do anything??
4. Remove "Faction Rules" sub-forum. The It isn't a subforum being used except for the "Faction Review and Feedback" sub-sub-forum which should be placed on the homepage instead.
5. Relocate "RP Stories Feedback Forum" under "General Discussions" to "Stories & Biographies". They're about the same stuff so put the feedback within the forum.
6. Put "Livestreamers Lair" and "Freelancer Forum" under "Community Games". I don't know why they were deemed important enough to be on the homepage.
