It wouldn't be their own section per se, Poui, but rather they'd be put in with the Golden Sun forums. As a general "Weyard" cluster, assuming Clans and so on are passingly our "Templeverse."

We could, as a trial, simply move Atelier to the bottom beside Battlefield and see what that does for attention/post counts. Ryu voiced opposition to it, since he thought putting Atelier in with the discussion forums increased its visibility.

It's certainly possible, but I would prefer trying the conceptual organization and seeing what happens.

If it gets moved to share a section with the roleplay forums, I'd like that section to get bumped up to above Miscellaneous.

Okay, so, I implemented most of these suggestions

But remember that once I merge Battlefield and Epic Adventures, there's no going back. Is everyone okay with that?

We've been considering putting in this thing, for the member tagging and other stuff. Would people be interested in a "post like" system as well?

I thought it wasn't being merged, only made a subforum?

Also Epic Adventures might need renaming now that it's not clearly under the category 'Role Play'. Maybe as "Epic Adventures - the heart of roleplaying", kind of like it was "Storytime - the heart of roleplaying" in the past.
As for the Dynamo codes: member tagging sounds great, and Post Competitions seems useful assuming we have more "post bombs", but I'm not currently in favour of a currency or leveling system, because what would we do with them?

Yeah, I agree about the Dynamo stuff. Luckily we can enable it selectively, so we'll just go with the ones we want.

With the subforum thing, wouldn't that just kill Battlefield even more than it already is, if it was taken off the main page? And since it's literally only two topics at the moment, I see no reason why it can't just be merged into a general Roleplay forum.

Especially since there's no longer a lot of interest in dedicated forum fights, which was the Battlefield's original purpose. I think the sillier stuff could be split into PG, and the more serious/elaborate stuff are basically two-person RPs anyway.

Merging would it probably kill it off even more than having a subforum for it because there wouldn't be any indicator that dedicated forum fights are/were a thing, but based on your last paragraph that seems like what would be desired anyway, if I look at like that I prefer merging, but if I don't then I'd prefer a subforum.

I mean, you can certainly still have dedicated forum fights within the Roleplay section. There's nothing that says it has to be really big things only.

Also, re: merging signups and discussion, I think that's also a good idea! But also an irreversible step, so I'll wait a bit before doing that one.

Oh yeah, I may as well mention:

1. In the description for The Prophet's Pulpit, "thy" should be "thine" and "maketh" should just be "make".

2. In the title "þe Old Mother Fornicating Artes Discussion", the þ should be Þ, and why have removed the e from "olde"?

Come and Take It - Temple Tsundere

I gotta be honest, it's making me really uncomfortable that Atelier/the RP sections were moved after nine years of being acclimated to the location. For one, I don't feel like Atelier and the RP sections really need to be together; they're both creative, yeah, but in a different way from each other. Atelier covers all kinds of creations - art and music, for example - whereas the RP sections are just straight writing.

Really though most of this boils down to "I've been here nine years and I knew where things were, there was NO NEED to change anything" but it's definitely a jarring thing that's going to take a lot of time to get used to. Honestly, we're not so bad of a forum that we really need a layout change; it's not like we're trying to appeal to new members anyway, since we either just don't get new members or pick up buddies from other GS affiliates.

I dislike the idea of merging Battlefield into Roleplays. It'll clutter the [radio edit] outta past years and make looking for something more annoying, as well as destroy the history of the board (which saw a lot of use during Temple events).

I like the idea of making it a subforum. Yeah, that might limit activity, but as pointed out, it's not exactly active these days.

Atelier should be moved to the top position, not Roleplays.

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

Throwing in for "Make Battlefield a subforum" as well.

Battlefield a subforum sounds like best plan so far, especially if we merge Signups and Discussion. That makes it approximately the same amount of scrolling to get to the stuff.

Moved Atelier to the top and corrected the literally like, decade-old typo and more recent one Poui noticed. 8D

Yeah, it's definitely not a need thing. And I do think we still need to appeal new members, or at least approve on some of the design decisions made literally 10 years ago. I understand that changing the status quo can be disruptive, but I think you'll get used to it pretty quickly.
Most of these changes have been reversible anyway, if we try it and then decide after a while that "nah, preferred it the old way," we can switch back.

I have no real investment in any of this, but actually I think the Miscellaneous section looks odd now - I feel like it should be PG/GD and the gender sub-forums (maybe), and the other should be in like a media or pop culture section or something.

Oh, that reminds me - *changes the name of Miscellaneous to Discussion*

Going to tentatively fold Battlefield under Roleplay and let's see how it goes! If we decide to, we can later go with the merging on top of that.
