ok i have noticed that there are some forums that have little or non posts and i think we should combine.
namely the lost chapters for doc:ff7
and all of the ff12
 
12 does get posts. Many people havent played or completed them yet, so theres no point making them into small forums.
 
true they arn't played yet but intell they are they should be one set forum not one for each game which is a waste of space.
 
Busta came up with the perfect list for what the forums should be condensed to when he was admin. The thread might still be in the archives somewhere.
I think FFXII should get to stay, since it's got a big fan base and it's the newest FF (not counting the compilation of course). If someone could find Busta's way of doing it, that would be grand.
 
I'm content with merging the Sequels & Sidestories to their relating 'main series' forum sections. There's just no need to have them split up anymore. Giving the "spinoffs" an entire area to itself seems a bit much too; it could all fit neatly into ONE main-page section, where the corresponding sub-sections could be shown like with the Costa Del Sol, for example.


I nothing else, that in itself is a rather big improvement.

Busta's way is definitely a lot better. It would be much more organized, and more efficient as well

that is what i am tring to tell ya'll people many unused forums don't help the forum they hinder it so the sequeals the knock offs should get combined with the main intel there is enough posts about that game to qualify it for its own forum

What sway does Darkblade hold on decisions like that now, since he isn't site owner anymore?

Well, he can't go around saying "no" and disowning every good idea like he used to. So not a lot.

It's far from hindering us. It just looks a bit messy on first sight.
 
...you are crule saix.
and on most sites they try to keep the number to a minimam due to server fill
 
The number of forums has nothing to do with the server load.
But if it is such a bother to you, then there is an option to minimise the ones you don't wish to post in.
 
acually they do links take up memory furthermore each link needs to be created and placed on the server so that takes up server space that way
i know this because i have had classes on creation and production of websites.
so this is one reason i believe that we should merge the forums that are useless as of yet.
 
Bumpage for attention. New Admin n'all....

Personally I think even Busta's could be organised and cut down a bit more. I don't have the time to jot it down right now but will at a later time.....
 
Any forum with less than 100, or maybe less than 200, posts probably shouldn't exist. So merging might be a decent idea. Any forum with more than 200 posts is probably OK by itself.

From the list posted, which forums would be being merged together?
 
finally ya'll agree with me i came up with this idea to lower the load amount and make the site better and they blew it off like it was crap.
 
Oh quiet, nobody said you idea was crap. And this has been brought up already by several people already so technically you're a bit late in stating that this was your own idea.
 
And also, it doesn't affect server load. At least nothing noticible.

And Golbez, the list that Moonchild posted up there is the condensed list that was suggested a while ago.
 
Busta's is pretty much how I would do it for most of it, but I would also have Tactics Advance as a sub-forum (along with the new ones now) to the original Tactics. Plus some of the forums in the 'Midgar' and 'Spira' sections could do with merging.
