Well the first thing I would say is you need to change the targets of the forums around a bit for project discussion Like "Early Projects" Can I assume that that is a problem forum? I have not looked it is horrible basically it consists of Well there you go it is obvious that it will be. yeah The solution is more of a GW thing Game Ideas and Design or even more specifically we've attempted to compress them all before STORYLINE CONSTRUCTION AND ASSISTANCE the ENTIRE FORUM LAYOUT basically is leftover from the old administration Nonono, dont compress just change change the forum names? the division to subforums is good And their topics hm THere is no reason for an early projects forum if you can't provide substantial info on your porject it is not a project yet it is an idea and the forum needs to reflect that THe best way would be a storyline only forum or something like GI&D where people can talk about features storyline forum would force some people out since they would not be able to discuss how they have AN AWESOME DAY NIGHT SYSTEM WITH 239857 CHARACTERS planned but it would result in better posting Because it would JUST be for story critique and development even someone asking "hey I want to make a cyberpunk game, can you help me develop the storyline?" would be fine Even fangame discussions would turn into conversations of "does this fit with the characterization and storyline of the parent game?" as long as the mods or mod encourages this it would turn out fine Completed games and demos needs to be changed as well no demos just completed games demos imply that they are still in development completed games should not be an active forum except for reviews the comments in the topics should not be "man this is cool" but more like several paragraphs after the person completes the game topics moved there just need to be purged before moving them there of any non-review posts full games needing testers should stay in the main forum until they are done Recruitment and classified will need the most active moderation and I would suggest a system like the one I instituted to PP&A minimum guidelines to what makes a project hirable and suggestions on who to hire and who not to hire I'm kind of serious that I will do this if you guys feel like hiring me I don't need to be in charge of the projects forum as a whole that's like modding G&D But if you give me a few months to change around the 3 subforums if i were able to make a decision like that alone i'd hire you in a heartbeat I can pretty much guarantee you a significant improvement. despain is gay and just disappeared but i am making a thread proposing it my two requirements are that you move the 3 mods currently there to just the main forum for a while at least and rename the forums to more logical forms because I'll need to work with them, but it is unlikely that they will be able to cooperate fully in a system where a new mod is appointed and one that they are used to
