    Rename all the forums RamenForge 1, RamenForge 2, RamenForge 3, etc. and be done with it.

    Rules for each RamenForge will be sticked appropriately. Discussing anything in RamenForge 1 that should belong in RamenForge 2 will result in an immediate permaban.

    How about some special thread icons? At the moment they have no real purpose, so hardly anyone uses them, but what if we cut out the no purpose ones and added a Movie Reel, Game Controller, Camp Fire, Barbell, and a few other good descriptors?

    It's not somuch problem management, as it is that all things should be refreshed once in a while.

    Tell me why your President can't serve more than two terms?

    Comparing Wordforge admins to the de facto leader of the world might be a sign that you're taking things an eensy bit too seriously.

    :rolleyes: yeah, that's it. You got it. I take it all so seriously. I say we should have elections, campaign trails, the whole thing.

    I was a mod once too... but the board database got erased and there is no longer any record of that month.

    I think I had the shortest modship in Wordforge history.

    :yes:

    Why don't we make subforums? We could clean up the front page but still allow for the separation of some topics like guns or video games.

    Facilitate discussion? Get annoying is more like it. It's WELL past time to drop the topic and let Lanz eventually get to it.

    Because the whole point of his argument is less separation means more apparent traffic and more discussion.

    There may be some merit to the thought that the separations are unnecessary while the community is relatively small.

    There are things we could do to make certain topics easier to find. Like using and making new post icons. Make a video game thread in Media Central and mark it with a video game icon so people into that can find them easily, for example.

    :unsure:

    One thread to cover all of the different games out there? That would turn into the most convoluted run of shit yet on WF.

    There's nothing wrong with leaving it exactly where it is as it is.

    No, no, no.

    I meant when someone, anyone makes a video game thread that they could use a video game post icon so people would know at a glance where the video game threads were in the list of Media Central threads.

    No, a single video game thread would be useless, I agree.

    I think the forums are just fine and well defined the way they are. If anyone thinks that a forum is not seeing enough traffic, then start some interesting threads in them and liven them up.

    Yeah, and then you could come into those threads and start racially abusing the board's Jews with a few "Kikey" jokes and I'm sure people will read them and think "hey, racism!, I'd better sign me up for some of that there stuff right now!".

    I also want to know the status of converting the Gray Room to a discussion forum for neo-Confederates.

    Lanz, what's the holdup on this?

    Go get your own forum.

    I demand to know why the Confederate Gray Room has not been implemented. What's the holdup?

    Well is there any discussion about it? I think we'd all like to know how much progress is being made. I have some Confederate flag isons and artwork that we can post in it. What's the hold up? Chop chop!

    But is there any discussion about it? What's the holdup? Why aren't Lanz and the staff putting their lives on hold to fix this burning issue?
