Does this forum need subforums?  Pro: more organization.  Con: more separation and less community.

[Ozle]

I would like a sub forum for the Annual Forum Games awards if thats ok?
Otherwise it will end up spamming different polls in here

[theory]

Certainly.  Is it Forum Games Awards or just Mafia Awards?

[Ozle]

I think its expanded into Forum Games awards now we got so many other games!

[Insomniac]

It might be nice if there was a "Finished Game" forum where all the games that are finished can be moved to and the main area here is just active games?

[Watno]

I don't think a finished games forum is necessary, since there are no posts in those anymore, so they drop to the end anyway.
We're currently just a bit over the point where all active games are on the front page, and I think that it's better to have seperate forums for Mafia and other games if it's impossible to see all active games on one page anyway.

[theory]

Yeah, I was considering splitting it between Mafia and Non-Mafia (which would incl. Resistance).  But then what would be in the main Forum Games forum?

It would take a little more control, but the main forum could be used as a launching pad for games of all types. If you have all the ideas/signups go there, it would increase visibility on "open for signups" games, while providing a place for new games (of all types) to be proposed. After a game reaches capacity, it can be moved into the appropriate subforum.

[Ozle]

Naaah, keep all games in the same forum! That way there will be some spillover.

I like the idea moving finished ones out, mostly so its easy for people to find them again.

[shraeye]

I agree with Ozle, spillover between games is great.  But we can move old games out if needed.

[Cuzz]

I think it might be time for this. Between games in progress, and games open for signups there are like 20 threads with activity in them today, and it's getting a bit cluttered.

I agree too.

In the interest of this, I've changed the 1st post to reflect only Mafia games.

is this gonna happen? active games are hitting page 2 right now :S

[theory]

I like the idea of spillover, but this really is getting unmanageable...



Here are the proposals:

1) Existing Forum becomes "meta-" forum, for V/LA, Game Index, etc. threads and "open for signups".  Create Mafia and Non-Mafia subforum.

2) Existing Forum becomes Non-Mafia / meta-forum, with a Mafia subforum.

3) Existing Forum becomes Mafia / meta-forum, with a Non-Mafia subforum.

4) Status quo

5) [open to suggestions]

[Robz888]

The status quo is fine with me. But I live on the "New Replies to Your Posts" section of f.ds, so I don't really care.

[Insomniac]

Of the options you have I like 1 the best.

My proposal which would probably require a lot of work (but I'm sure alot of us would be willing to help)

Forum Games -- Contains sign-ups and the pins meta stuff what have you
Ongoing -- Subforum containing on going games after sign ups have filled once the game starts
Completed -- Subforum with the backcatalog of games, nice to have the back catalog but it probably doesn't need to be mixed in with everything even if once in a blue moon they still get posted to.



Alternately if the main area still has sign ups and the game moves to mafia/non mafia once it starts that would be ok too.

Edit: Nevermind that last bit as that was included in 1

[Eevee]

I'd say 1).

[Galzria]

I support #1.

Damn me and super-ninja'ing myself!

[Insomniac]

:O It's happening.

[ashersky]

I vote #3.

[Galzria]

Ha! The stats page is temporarily broke while he re-organizes everything. It's going all haywire.

[Jorbles]

I liked status quo. Oh well. Guess it's time to adjust.

[Eevee]

Lol I might actually like 3 more too. It's pretty whatever though. It's absolutely awesome of you to be doing this either way, theory.
