Hello.
It's been going through my mind, that we have 'cities' and 'city' related things under 'projects & creations'. and those threads.
I've also noticed that people post things like 'arbotorium's school' under general discussions, and to be realistic, they are all community groups, gatherings, or events with no real rewards, other than the company of others.
This would be a child board under "General Discussion"
Organization of the board:
It would be for the discussion of general community gatherings, or events, such as "Arbotorium's school" or events that people would be holding, such as spleef arenas, mazes, or other types of events.
So in all technicality, it would be an easy place for people to find, and organize such long-term events.
Childboard :Community
This childboard will be used for the explicit use of cities & towns (And provinces). It will contain all the threads made by players about their cities/towns/provinces. They will be allowed to create their 'city' threads here, as a designated location for people to find, instead of just clouding the "Projects & Creations" section of the forums, where the main focus of the board, is directed towards cities instead of things like "Eifel tower" or "Sphere's in the sky" Of course, Cities & city owners could show off their constructions in the projects & creations thread. but it will not be where they have their main thread. so people can focus a bit more on the creations, as opposed to the city's community.
Also, this(the Community: City/Town Registry (list) (http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/board,44.0.html) exists, so at least the list of cities & towns is already ready!
Now that you've read all of this. give it a thought. The point of this is to distinguish groups, or cities, towns. Or quite simply "Community" related things.
Cities & towns have evolved into their own thing
This new board, will have a place for the unlisted subjects, and it will be used just as much (if not more) than the 'Projects & Creations' board. AND it would have a place for topics that aren't really projects & creations, nor general discussion, such as 'arbotorium's school' (I only recite that one, because it's the easiest to remember)
I hope you've started to think that we could use it, It's not just something to have, but this could be a great improvement on our forums!
Please reply to the thread, and please voice your opinions, suggestions, and objections!
Here's the visual aid to how this board (or childboard of something) May look like. It includes 15 real topics, that I found in 'general discussion' that would be used in this scenario.
In addition, as I was scouring the pages of general discussion, I cannot help but see that almost every page there is riddles with auction, and trade threads.
You can go to the general discussions board, and see click on the threads of each topic I used in the visual aid.
Oh, and I used the layout provided in "Moderator, and City applications"
