Arena Application PM-Only?

This would be a good excuse to delete the forum and save some space. I'd just put a link at the top of the page that says "Arena Application" which would take ppl to the rules thread (when applications are closed we'd just remove the link). It would make the forums a bit easier on the eyes. What do you guys think?

Yes please since no one has looked at mine for over 3 months I think that pming is more efficent so I am in favor of this.

No.. Maybe someone will feel generous enough to help the person if they mess up on the whatever you call it thing.

Think of it this way. There was a person who posted in the arena application section saying "I would like to apply for the arena, my char name is blahblah, thanks!" He didn't even realize he had to make the character sheets, when there was a stickied thread saying "README"
If we make it PM-only the link to do it will lead them directly to the tutorial, and that way people will hardly ever screw up :p

He's trying to say that by making it pm only, the link to where you pm to would first show all the instructions and stuffs. I'm voting no because, let's say a person who does make an application wants to get some errors fixed with it, like i did. If it's pm only, the odds of the getting help would go lower. Plus, who will look at all the applications?

The same person who usually looks at them? Zeru xD
How would that change :p
The thing is if it's PM only Zeru will probably look at it within a day, and if it's wrong then you can post in General section or something asking for help :)

See, they would just post it somewhere anyways. If we keep the application forum, it would keep the general forum less cluttered, well less then the state it's already in, and that way other people can help =P

cluttered? In the last 4 months there have been 4 arena app threads. I don't think a thread more a month will clutter it. They might post in questions accidentally, it doesn't really matter :p

-careful thinking-
rawr fine =P
delete the forum i say, but say in the instructions that if they have any questions to post in the questions forum with the tag [APPLICATION].
