Site Suggestion

Subject: Site Suggestion Sun Nov 16, 2008 5:43 pm

I was just thinking about it, and I got what I think is a relatively good idea. We could merge the forums with other games, like Meteo and Antlan's new game. That way we would end up sharing alot of our players, and it would be a good way to advertise each other's games. As it is, the current FinalStory forums have alot of unneeded forums (final story official can be merged with news, questions can be merged with helpdesk, bugreport can be moved, etc.) and so I think it would be possible to narrow down every single game's forums into one little category box. Then we could all share a single chat forum and a site forum. Just an idea =)

personally, it does seem like a good idea, but it seems like alotta work. and wouldnt that increase the loading time by like 1.5-2x? possibly even more?

As is right now, many of the forums for these sites could easily be condensed into fewer categories, which isn't really alot of work. All that needs to be done is to send posts to a different forum and delete the old forum. I wouldn't mind doing that :p
And I highly doubt that it would lag the forums seeing as they still wouldn't be that big.

It seems good but would take awhile and plus it would require more people to answer questions for different games but give it a try I suppose F3 .

what do you mean it would take more people to answer questions? each game would have a different category in the forum

Oh wait my own thing came out wrong lol I meant there would be people asking things in the wrong section and some people may not be able to answer a question in the other section (bleh doesn't make sense to me) but simply put it would be tough but still good idea though.

I don't think people are stupid enough to post a meteo question under "final story questions" lol
Plus each category for the forums would have it's own mod group

It's good for me, But how would we divide the forum?, for example the banner, a fused banner would be kinda weird lol...

Well make the portal 3 column-ed news or something. you can have 3 mini-banners side by side. you can have a little downloads box on the top or something. I think it could work if everybody consents :p
I wouldn't mind doing a bit of work
