New sub-board or Tag for RPG
« on: February 05, 2013, 09:21:27 PM »
Would it be possible to make a special sub-Bar board for all the RPG threads? Or at least ask that the ongoing threads get labeled as RPG rather than actual discussion topics?

The first 10 threads a few minutes ago were all RPG things.  It just seems to be getting a little cluttered....
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.

There's a separate board for the DFRPG and the "Billy's Game Den" sub-board in the Bar for non-DF RPGs.  Where are you seeing this congestion?

It's in The Bar.  Most of the regulars now participate in RPG's and have threads and support threads.  It's not specifically Dresden related and has kind of grown as an offshoot from the Hellfire thread.

That's what "Billy's Game Den" is for.  Right?  I'm not going crazy?

TBH I don't think most of them know that. It's kind of grown from the weird denizens so they automatically posted it in the bar.

Beat me to it- thanks.

Hey, Pris. Since you're moving them anyway, can you Sticky the Thread titled "RP Listing Revamp"? It would be a great help. Thanks!

I never knew there were suppose to be in the Game Den. In fact, I remember having asked the same long ago, and being told that Hellfire were the heart of the bar, so to speak.
I completely understand the logic, but I think it is a bad idea in the long term. Those threads become hiperlong, and as they are cleaned every week is not so bad, but if they are going to be there for a month, they would become very heavy.

Well, Hellfire used to be a lot different. Its current incarnation is nothing like when it started.
The threads can be split at a certain number of replies, so length isn't an issue, and the game area can take the archived threads.
The (non DFRPG) RPG stuff really belongs in the game board since it's a game and not really general discussion.

Yes, I insist I completely understand the logic. I was told otherwise, but that is no problem, but I really think some measure must be taken to do the RP threads cut and not going for a month.
