The TV room needs to be updated to TV/Movie room.
The comic room would be for links to favourite stand up comedy...list's of good stand up, chances for joke post's and that sort of stuff. Add a little more humour to the forums!

b) Flamer section.
Too many times do we see threads hijacked by off the side flaming or personal arguments with no relevance to the thread. On top of that there is the GC, with a sub vendetta section, made to serve the same function but for ingame. As such, there should be a section where people can vent, and have all the family tiffs. If there is an area dedicated to it, it MAY actually remove some of the aggression to the rest of the forum.

c) Awareness of the debate section.
There can be from time to time discussions and debates left in this and that. I remind mods and forum readers, the debate section is there, and not all threads within that section have to follow the debating rules.

d) A tighter grip needs to be held over the General section of the forum. Care bare alliance? Recruiting for an ingame alliance in the general section? HELLO!!! Goodbye threads, or rl problem threads constantly posted in there and left, WTH? I know buck has a solution which I fully agree with.

by extension I might even go so far as to suggest a 'sob story lounge'. yes a sarcastic name, but as sad and as relevant as some things are to the community, their presence in the general section is unecessary, a constant reminder of the trivial things in real life, when some of us use the forums as an escape, and it can get just plain annoying with all these RIP threads scattered through the multiverse of the SGW forum library, adding an unwanted morbid feel to a place where im sure the reason for the threads would not want such an atmosphere!

Food for thought for you there, Lore, Phil..robe...I know u want some time, im in no rush.

A. IDK if its really needed, but have no objections at this time, need to research it as forums are so massive now so much gets lost in it.

B. NO, totally bad idea. Has been tried and failed to many times. (That is my opinion alone) Will debate it if necissary.

C.Agree that awarness is good, seems some debates are going on in this and that and are causing some riffs

D. GL to Buck LOL, thats a never ending battle mate, we catch it from both sides, "too strict" ,,, "too loose" ,,, "to strict" ,,,," to loose" *chorus*

Well..I can point out a few sections we could get rid of/merge if you want. Remove 'this and that', make the comic and political section. Then we have a seperate section for everything else.
Good idea
Rename the quitting section to 'then and now - the quitting/rl life section' That way all these sob stories have a place and so do all the quitting threads.
It's fine as it is now Put it in the General part of the forum, not right down at the bottom.
Good idea Make a announcement in the general sgw forum that no one is that special, anything posted in there will be deleted. EOS.
Why deleted ? Just move them...

Take the public dump and merge it with the newbie hello forum, call it general banter or chat or something, non game related as atm the public dump is just a glorified, re-located 'this and that'.
Erm no, dump is low class spam...

make Bugs a sub-section of the 'for game admin....' I dont see how those two are NOT connected.
Agreed

Discussion on game enhancements, post and pre release. MERGE. No need for seperate forums for them just to save a little confusion every now and then.
How about two subsections one for already and one for future in it?

get rid of Quantum and chaos recruit. Just let people put it in the main recruiting area. Im sure if you make is obligatory to put it in the title which game your from, its a not so hard thing to do and makes the forum smaller!
Oh no recruit section is already FULL of topics! Fine as it is now

The entire chaos section seems a bit ott. Put the chaos archives in the general archives. I dont see quantum with its own archives section so why does chaos have one!
Or as a sub section simply...

The newsletter has not been active in forever. The point of its own sub section?
True

Stargate wars teamspeak discussion? As about as useful as Daidigi. (its not..)
Erm it is...

Well the flamer section lol. If people know they have a place to go argue, they might not be AS tempted to argue in one place. Im not saying its a magical one way fix, but it may be worth a try.
Will fail. And will probably grow up the banned people topic a bit too quick

Yes, though that point you bring up, is something only the mods could deal with now.


and for the last part...well. Find a place to put the sob stories and then let me at em. *rubs hands*
You know I kept a pretty good ship on the RB forums.



As for you Jack. Semantics? That's what I do buddy. TV and movie are not the same until a certain point, and even then the meaning behind TV is not that of the actual box, more to the series that belong on it. A comic section is not the same as this and that or the spam temple.
Half the world debates arise from problems with Semantics, professional (philosophical or psychological) or just our own interpretations.
So if you want to dare and throw such words at me, I can begin on the rest of the forum. lol.

As I said before Lore. Food for thought, im not trying to push anything, just get the ball rolling for a new era, whispering in the person holding the balls ear that it could be an idea to get it rolling.

and chaos recruit belongs just where it is now...
and in fact, it is needed...

Also the need for people who are not one sided as well.
