Hey guys, I wanted to let you guys know that we're going to be doing some restructuring of the layout of the forums today + tomorrow. I'll post in here when we have a good idea of how it's going to look BEFORE we change it. Visually the forums will not change, but there will be a few new boards to mess with and post in.

We're creating a new board dedicated to player generated media, whether this be fan art, avatars, UI modifications, videos, screenshots, etc.

We're also revamping our Help + Bug Reports section and creating a new Support Category which will allow us to track bugs easier, and allow you to check the status of bug fixes.

Now I have a question for you all!

As we're moving around we're looking at misc and noticing it's a hodgepodge of a variety of topics. We're considering essentially splitting the board into two: A General Discussion board for things relating to Star Sonata specifically and a Off topic discussion board for things not pertaining to SS. Would you like this change or no? We're still very much on the fence about this and would like player feedback before we decide to change it.

I would love to see it being split in the two categories that is mentioned.

Based on the responses I get, I'll make a decision. If the vote ends up being too close together I'll keep misc as is.

Split

can we merge the SS2 forums with the main board first?

That's going to be done today when we're moving things around. I guess I didn't mention that.

Ugh, it's neck and neck right now. XD You guys are making it hard for me to decide! =P

I have no problem discerning SS related topics from other topics.

It might only become a problem if we do get a "population boom".

This was my reasoning behind suggesting the split. It'd make it cleaner and more organized in the future. Right now misc works great for the size of our playerbase, but if we get an increase in players like it is projected then misc will end up being a mess. So this change will come eventually, I'm just trying to decide if it should happen now or later.

All the more reason to take preventative steps now rather then when we have 1k+ active forum members.

Split would be best.

Alrighty, with all the responses so far it looks like the split is winning over keeping it the same. I'll try to have a mock up of what the forum structure will look like sometime in the next few hours.
