Subcategories

[Oneyus]

What does everyone think about having subcategories for card types within each thread??

I.E. Warlord, Rogue, Banker, Gearsmith etc ... would have a "character" "Item" "tactic" and "location" subcategory to make it easier for the design team to look at ideas instead of [click] "whats this one do". It seems like it would be more intuitive to the Open R&D project if there were subcategories.

I feel that the reason these forums are suffering so much right now is that there's way, way too many categories. You come to the forums and don't know where the appropriate place is to post, knowing full well that a post in a category other than "General Discussion" might never be seen. Likewise, you don't really know where to check. Some will use the "New Posts" feature, but I've always thought this forum was quite overwhelming and scattered for those who first come to check it out.

If you condense the forums dramatically, activity within becomes more obvious and discussion fosters more easily.

My opinion, of course, but it's been true of a few forums that I've set up.

I see your point and that makes total sense.'

See this for my ideas on fixing the forum clutter so we can add what I think are important sub-forums to streamline Open R&D ideas.
