Site Direction: Everyone Get in Here

[Ⓐaron]

Well the point is new posts in the section should be about the ones that are active xD

 

[Mage]

What about forthcoming ones that aren't yet active but will be in the future?

 

[Ⓐaron]

I think you're splitting hairs too much m'dear

 

[Flintlock]

And posts about past events, will we have a separate forum for those? I wouldn't mind that solution, but I think it's easier if they're all in one place.

 

[Ⓐaron]

The idea is to gently nudge people to post about the active ones and not necro old ones, not to archive old projects when they're done I think you're all looking too much into this, although I understand you have to hold onto your Most Pedantic award Flint

 

[Mage]

I actually think Ghost might have nailed that one this year, but only 'cos Flint took a hiatus.

So what happens to old projects then?

 

[Cthulhu]

As a software developer (and I should use that phrase more often for lulz), I can appreciate pedantry when it matters, .

(note: it doesn't really in this case)

 

[Flintlock]

Aaron, I don't think there's much danger of people reviving posts from five years ago even if we drop the "active", but I was mainly concerned with getting the word "events" in there, seeing as I'm going to be organising a lot more of them.

You call it pedantic, I call it consensus It's almost no effort to change it and you seem to be the only one against it. But it's not the end of the world if it doesn't get changed, there are plenty of other things for us to fix.

Change it. As named, it's bad luck. =P

I'd say they fall under Active Projects & Events

Looking at the rest of the forum, do we really need the News Reports section? It seems logical to me that FFVII news goes in the FFVII section, FFXV news goes in the Neo FF section, and so on. What kind of news is likely to be shared with us that doesn't fit into an existing section?

 

[Mage]

How many variants on that avatar do you have Flint?! I've counted at least three changes so far!

^ That makes sense I guess, it would probably boost activity in each section anyway. As long as the relevant news item is accessible on the frontpage, I suppose it's a logical step.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I don't have a problem saying the section is redundant necessarily, but is someone going to move the threads to the appropriate section or are we just going to archive it?

 

[Mage]

I don't mind relocating the threads (I'm assuming this will involve the addition of a subsection for news for each FF section?), I know it's not exactly a quick job and TBH I want to feel useful.

I'm not sure how many I went through before I settled on this one. And I still might tweak it a little I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my graphical creations.

[Lex]

It needs to be longer to simulate the increased e-powar

 

[Cthulhu]

I'm fine with just chucking those threads into their respective FF section as-is, i.e. not create more subsections for those. Or archive them. Actually IDK,

 

[Lex]

stop trying to make "archive" happen

its not going to happen

 

[Mage]

Now nominating Lex as 'Site Dom' rather than 'Site Director'.

Want me to filter the news section out to the relevant areas (with subsections) or not?

 

[Ⓐaron]

I'm willing to make subsections if people think we should have them.

 

[Mage]

(I can maek subsexion too)

Yeah, some sort of consensus would be nice.....

 

[Yuri Lowell]

Can sort of decentralize a site if done capriciously. Too many boards sort of split up traffic. I think it's pretty neat how it is.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

We don't need subsections for the news threads, I think. They'll be fine just thrown into their respective sections proper.
