Forum Restructuring

I meant to start a thread on this back when I actually restructured things, but I guess I got lazy. At any rate, what do you think of the new layout for the forums? What would you like to see changed?

My goals in the restructuring were to:
  • Establish an obvious structure and hierarchy
  • Make the forum names and descriptions clear and unambiguous: Forum names are as short as possible, while most descriptions start with an imperative (or is it subjunctive?) verb
  • Eliminate redundancy
I'm including a "do you like the new layout better?" poll to help gauge how I did, but we're not going back to the old layout; let me know how I can improve things from here.

Splitting the Balance forum up into General and Heroes is not needed, imo. Just adds clicks.
Same with Suggestions.

Its not like there are 50 new balance threads every day, which makes it unclear.

I will vote yes once the universal Hello Kitty skin is restored.

+1

Also, there are plenty of sites that are bigger but have fewer forums. There's not a need to go into such detail, just a few fuzzily-defined sections is fine.

I would rather have a couple broad categories than 20 very specific ones.

Since people have had their say and want less specific forums, I've combined the general and hero/skill balance and suggestions forums (a few days ago, but I forgot to mention it). Let me know if there's anything else you want.

I've also re-enabled the Hello Kitty skin, though it seems a little wonky.

A way to get rid of certain people? :mrgreen:

I bet many people would like to have one. :P
