New Forum Layout Feedback

[Avalanche]

Thanks for the input Durandal. Please everyone reading this, you're very much welcome to chip in too.

Events:

Official server events and player made events are, and need to remain, two separate, distinct entities. My preferred way of handling this is by moving this subforum:
https://discoverygc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=28
To this forum:
https://discoverygc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=411

Trying to mix the two won't work well.

Moving "Events & Competitions" to "Server Events" makes a lot of sense. It keeps things localised.

However I don't follow with the idea of mixing the two not working out well. "Events & Competitions" has currently 3 now useless pinned threads which should be unpinned. see no reason why pinned threads can't instead be dedicated for [Official Events]. This idea keeps ALL events in one webpage. Again localising similar content. Reducing the requirement to click and navigate further to another sub-subforum. Thusly less sub-subforums required.

I have created an image of what "Events & Competitions" & "Server Events" being merged would look like. Notice player events as the main body and then pinned official events. It looks good right?

Good Luck Out Thee

This is not intuitive at all and ought become a part of LFG as I stated earlier. If I am a new member who has no context, I am not going to understand what the name of that forum means or what it's used for. LFG is universal and ought remain.

LFG needs to allow replies to threads firstly. Secondly a rename to "Looking for Players" would make sense.

Then forum members can say "Hi, I am wanting to join a trading faction" to which other memebrs or factions like IC, Bowex etc can reply.

OR forum members can say "Jumping in at 9pm in New York in a Liberty Rogue Destroyer. Anyone welcome to try and stop me. Ship name XYZ" to which members or factions can reply that they'll challenge / hunt / trade with / escort

Delete this forum entirely, move this subforum:

To this forum:

I agree with that proposed moving of the feedback subforum. Makes sense to me.

News & Announcements

Why does this go down and not up? It ought be at the very top.

The core of this proposal was putting activity encouraging subforums closer to the top. "News and Announcements" is important of course. It is the voice of the staff after all. However it isn't used often and it is a subforum you'd read once every couple of weeks or month? So for that reason alone it made sense to keep it below the more frequently used subforums such as Role-Playing, Factions, Events etc
