As you might have noticed, the subforums have changed in order. It's not completely changed yet; there are a few more things planned.
Until then, please PM any moderator or global moderator a list of topics of your own that need to be moved. This mostly pertains to Last Legacy and Super Mario 63 tutorials and guides to their respective General subforums. I'll bump this thread again when more changes are made.

This is preferably what the final product will look like (with some names changed into something more obvious):

This is also a thread in which you can voice your opinion for or against this change. A reminder: please use valid reasoning.

See, I like this new layout. It's good that it has logic behind it and isn't a random useless change.

I'll admit I was surprised at first, but that's because the layout I knew for 3 years was suddenly changed. I don't think it's a terribly big deal.

Nothing's been removed, just moved around. So I don't feel there was any harm in the decision.

I was thrown off at first, but this is a more natural layout I guess. It's not major, people will get used to it quickly.

I think we should reduce the Other Games section. Instead of having one forum for Super smash Bros engine, and GT and The Evil Factory, we should blend them into only one, as they aren't so active.

Last Legacy should be above SM63, since it is Runouw's current/newest game, and still needs to grow its fanbase.

It doesn't work like that. The forums are supposed to be in order of what people expect to find, what people are looking for when joining. Today, new members come more for SM63 than for LL. Therefore it's above.

if it's based on what people expect to see, i'd expect to see the better game over the older, lower quality one

This

It seems as people are mainly joining for SM63 recently. So it may get switched with LL, when we clearly notice a change.

Wow, so bitter, I think lemon juice just spilled


Lol but in all seriousness guys, it's not in order of what's better. And besides, does it really matter what is above the other? No game is 'more important'. As soon as LL becomes the more popular game, we can always swap them around. But it shouldn't be seen as LL being inferior because as people who regularly use the level designer know, that is far from truth.
