YOUR View:: Forum Overhaul [Ideas]

[Danny 2232]

This thread is for ideas regarding the forum overhaul, feedback should be left on the main thread here!

Do you have any further suggestions for things for us to alter on the forums?

e.g. creation of a new forum, deletion of a forum, renaming of one of the forums

Already done with the overhaul~

Edit:: was missed, shall be done now

[Elindor 666]

Do something with the World History.

That has never been properly utilised and should be void of meaning against the wiki.

Ooh, ooh, and I want to be able to View New Content for one category so that I don't have to scroll past countless applications.

Easier, Step by Step application instead of copy-paste-post.

Like, enter name here then it will take you to a choose your character! Then it'll take you to the races lore, backround, basic info, etc.

Done. Implemented in December

[ayresalex 517]

You past and present tense is slightly confusing. It WILL be implemented in Decemeber, or it HAS been?

[Elindor 666]

The process has been changed. The details are being ironed so that it WILL be implemented soon.

That isn't forum design! However - I'm bringing in the new system in early December. See here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/74754-a-new-way-of-applying-30-app-system/

Back on topic please though.

Hmm...

Perhaps a forum where a member of LotC can speak with all the GM's, Lore masters, etc. to discuss their idea for a large event, (By large event, I mean something significant like the Rise of the Undead was) so common members can feel like they're able to influence things and have a much larger in events such as what I stated.

-Edit-

Another idea I had was hold a weekly skype meeting for all players and different staff teams (Including VAT, MAT, etc.) can sit down on different set days and possibly bang out what they'd all like to see change in LotC and see if a compromise can be made.

VA Archive move under VAs since it is currently under the application section, which is silly.

The first idea is Event Proposals, just use it in the way you've suggested as it's there to propose events such as this! :-)

The second, really isn't related to this and is more suited to it's own topic - although Q&As often do the likes of that :-)

Being done right now!~

Perhaps a removal of the War Claims section as there exist no more War Claims and instead perhaps an area to explain the rules of war and a place for Lore on Current Wars where people can forum RP wars together instead of in their individual race sections and a subsection for archived wars where all the old war claims and wars can be locked and archived?

Otherwise I think this was very well done and will help the server in many ways besides organization, it will most certainly help in communication as well.

• 
  
• I only see the Feedback Forums, bit the Support forms.
  
• [Recommendation] A GM feedback forums, not for Events but for GM actions. Because I'd rather when people complain about GMs, for that to NOT be in the Off-topic section, poisoning the topics around it.
