Hello!
Recently, it has come to my attention that the forums format is a bit out of date. Every day, I get on the forums to see the same sections—most of which have died down and are mostly empty. In addition, a lot of the old section that use to be filled with discussions are starting to be filled with negativity, complaints, and flame. Some sections even have less than 15 threads. I have presented one alternative format to the Sr. Staff, but it wasn't as good as it could be and was turned down. After thinking about it, I wondered, what do you guys want? After all, you guys are the ones who get on the forums day after day. What changes would you like to see to the forums?
Some of the problems with the current format are causing some sections of the forums to die and others to rise, some of which in flame and negativity. Additionally, there aren't any discussion forums for the games added in last November, some of which are becoming more popular since the Gamemode Spotlight event began. Also, some forums are fitting under the incorrect section. For example, the "Feature Suggestions" forum is under the Survival Games, Quarter Quell, ZedChase, and MCTF2 categories but feature suggestions can be made for anything: the forums, any of our games, TeamSpeak, etc. Finally, some forums are unnecessary. The Survival section, for example, is unneeded considering that the server has been taken down and the administration has said multiple times it wont be coming back. I think it would be nice to see a more advanced, up-to-date forums structure.
Although the forums are "fine" the way they are now, I feel that there are certain things that should be added and things that should be extirpated. It may attract more people to the forums, and spark up discussions that have died down. Ultimately, the forums have been dying. With a possible forums renovation, we might get what we want: satisfactory, amicable discussions—something most of us have desired.
What do you think? What should be added? What should be changed?
