Subforum Reorganization: Episode II

[Charcoal]

i think the idea was that Pokemon is a Nintendo game therefore threads pertaining to the subject should be placed in the Nintendo subforum

That's what I was thinking. Plus, there's so little activity in that Pokemon forum anyway right?

About people thinking there are too many stickies in Site Discussion and elsewhere - can we please unsticky Crash Reports and Nominating Cookies? For the latter we can leave a note in the FAQ, once we take care of that.

And quite many stickies have been removed in Last Legacy Level Designer - well, okay, but the Trigger Guide would deserve to stay stickied ...

Crash reports is pretty important, despite being infrequent. I agree with the latter though, but there's only too many stickies because of most of it is stuff that should be temporary that we haven't done yet. (etc. FAQ suggestions, Forum Header Re-arrange, and this thread which I just instickied.)

No, They haven't. Literally the only thing I unstickied was contest theme suggestions.
A better thing to say would be "There are too many threads deserving of stickies not stickied."

Crash Reports is stickied because it's an important thread. If the site goes down or crashes for any reason, that's the place for it to be reported and documented publicly. Granted, it hasn't seen much activity recently, but it's still not something that's going to be unstickied.

I agree that Nominating Cookies should be in the FAQ. Post it in the FAQ Suggestions thread.

Idk why so many things aren't stickied in the LL LD subforum. Maybe the Trigger Guide wasn't up to date with Null Space, or it was relocated to the Wiki? Not sure. But in any case, things like the Complete ID List For Everything, Designer Tips and Tricks, and an updated Trigger Guide should probably all be stickied, or we could at least make a thread with important links to things of the sort on both the forums and the wiki.

edit: Thanks raz

Looks like Raz just stickied a bunch of stuff there, so that's done. Also, I just separated all of the LL Series out of LL Collections and moved the threads.

Anyway please unexist pokemon thanks

@OJ, I know it was complete and utter ♥♥♥♥. I was half sarcastic, and half just exhausted with this whole process. Ok. Dumped into Nintendo it is.

I AM capable of sarcasm occasionally...

[Oranjui]

It's a little hard to tell that you're being sarcastic when you're posting in a serious thread in which you had previously posted serious things. Sorry.

[Doram]

I do apologize. I've been under some intense stress of late.

We are truly all agreed to de-organize Stories, and organize Graveyard? I don't really like either idea much, but if you guys are sure, I'll just do it.

Last chance to say "No, let's talk more."

Well, so now I'll concretize my pro arguments for putting the Graveyard on Index.

• The numbers of views are still increasing, more than in other subforums. I'm not the only one being nostalgic at times or needing it for statistics research, and probably many members still want to read our past events and accomplishments.
• The Graveyard itself has very few to do with Site Discussion. The number of posts in Site Discussion is quite irritating, as almost 75% of all posts are in the Graveyard. The description of Site Discussion implies nowhere that it hides an Archive. In my early days I was very confused why I couldn't find past LDCs in the Level Designer subforum until I found it by accident (when I started exploring the rest, but still)
• Those wanting to keep the index small - we already have saved about five subforums on it. Flash Player Showcase is gone, two LL general subforums are gone, and three LDing-related subforums are merged into one. If you don't want to list it in Main, list it by its own.

I want to reduce the overall length of all the stickies by having a masterthread that take the purpose of all of these threads eventually.

One thread only would be too large for all of this. Separate it into rules and guides (how to submit, how to save) into one thread (mine actually) and the designing tutorials (tricks, bugs to watch out etc.) into another (or overhaul the respective pages on the Wiki), and graveyard Suyo's old level posting rules once it's done.
