There has been some great discussion in this thread about ways to help OnRPG/MMOHuts forums thrive again, and I'd like to open up the discussion on some of these topics.
In this case, let's talk about forum restructuring!
#boring
Currently, the forums are structured thusly:
OnRPG and MMOHuts Forum Hub
- OnRPG and MMOHuts Featured Content
- MMORPG Giveaways and Contests
Gaming Discussion Boards
- Free and P2P MMO and MMORPG Hub
The "Lounge"
- The Lounge
-- Graphic Shop
-- Game Development
-- Tech Corner
-- Animation Nation
-- Newbie Zone
Feedback and Promos
- Shameless Promotion
- Suggestions and Feedback
Issues I feel that need to be addressed:
- Although we have "Gaming Discussion Boards," there's only one board for MMOs. I think we need new boards. What categories would you like to see? Mobile gaming? Retro? Tabletop? Board/physical card games?
- The Lounge is full of a bunch of sub forums but again it's the only main forum. I think we need to separate and consolidate. Newbie Zone & Graphic Shop can go, and be incorporated in the general Lounge. Game Development, Tech Corner, and Animation Nation can become their own forums outside the lounge, and get more traffic.
- There used to be a key request forum for users. I'd like to make the giveaways & Contests forum open for verified users to give away keys, etc, in the same place.
I'm listening and would love to hear your suggestions, ideas, etc.
