Reorganize the forum structure

[Charu]

Just wondering, why don't the time stamps read "Today" or "Yesterday" now?

Bugging me, but I can get use without it.

The subforums kinda stack if you don't have your browser in full screen (See FFR General Talk [resolution disparities ignored]). Like, I'll get the folder icon on the same line as the first subform titles and then Contested Chart Difficulties on the next line. Not really a big deal, but maybe that is why.

That sounds more like a height thing than a width. Didn't the forum used to be the same width as the home page?

Never. They have always been full screen.

I guess I am crazy. Perhaps it is the lack of descriptions that makes it look like too much white space.

veteran was pretty inactive

Yup it does look quite cleaner and more empty. I may add a few descriptions back before August 1st.

Noticed this yesterday too, whats going on with this?

How descriptions work:



Except the 2nd time it's a bit smaller a font, and written in Comic Sans.

[TC_Halogen]

I had made a post about it yesterday in the FFR Suggestions thread too, haha. Glad it was changed back!

Dude, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape fro Butcher Bay/Dark Athena are pretty good games.

Actually a lot of these are terrible.

Namely the Sports one.

'Ey, if you had to come up with subtitles for every forum/subforum on these boards, what would you do?

PS: Saying "nothing" is not allowed, good sir!

[andy-o24]

Like I said, a lot of the names don't need extra descriptions. But I went ahead and suggested descriptions for all of them. I don't expect overwhelming approval or for there to be any descriptions at all. People have already said they are redundant and unnecessary.

[Zageron]

Thank you anyways andy, I might use something of what you suggested!

[Arntonach]

Can you make some of the forum descriptions snazzier? They're kinda dull right now.

1. I'd leave them blank. Just a few more titles need to be changed and then they're eliminated for good.
2. But to satisfy you:

FFR Events: FFR Events.
FFR General Talk: FFR General Talk.
-FFR Profiles: N/A: ELIMINATE THIS OR MAKE IT A SUBFORUM OF GENERAL TALK PLZ. IT DOESN'T NEED IT'S OWN IN THIS CONTEXT.
Brag Board: Brag here.

General Discussion: General Discussion.
- Technology: N/A: SUBFORUM THIS INTO GENERAL DISCUSSION. NUFF SAID.
Introductions: Introductions.
Critical Thinking: Critical Thinking.


Stepmania: "Stepmania" - Choof.
Osu!: Osu!
The Werewolf Game: "Become a werewolf today!" - Funnygurl.
General Forum Games: General Forum Games.
- General Video Game Board: General Video Game Board.

Art and Graphics: Art and Graphics
Audio and Music Production: Audio and Music Production.
Films and Television: Film and Television.
Writing and Literature: Writing & Literature.
Health and Fitness: Health and Fitness.
Sports: Sports.
TGB: RIP.

The non repeats are jokes and are really meant to be like all the others which are pretty much copy pastes.

And yes I moved a few things around because I don't see the point of some of them being where they are. an "FFR Profile" main forum will see little use. A subforum is more appropriate. I added an Osu one because honestly we have enough players here that giving them their own forum is the same reason SM has it's own. (I don't care for Osu much, but I think it's big enough to earn it's own section. If it doesn't get one SM shouldn't have one.)

Pretty much if you're all going to add these mind numbing descriptions, generalize them as much as possible or use an inside joke from the forum. (If you MUST use one for TWG I really recommend that quote, it's funny as fuck.) Don't say stupid mindless crap like in the Sport's one "Any sports except Esports" because you're being an idiot with such a statement. Esports and sports are practically the same fucking thing now days.
