Subforum housekeeping?

(1/3) > >>

ChrisP:
I would suggest the following, for semantic reasons:

- That the subforum section currently titled "Donkey Kong High Score List" be retitled "High Score Lists"
- That there be a new forum under that section titled "Donkey Kong Jr. High Score List," and that we create three threads in there that mirror those in the DK HS List subforum (though I suppose the "rules" thread could simply redirect to the one in the DK HSL subforum, since the rules will be the same).
- That there be a third forum under that subsection titled "High Score Lists For Other DK Games", which could be a catch-all subforum, with a thread for D2K, Crazy Kong, DK3," etc., and a catch-all thread for submissions for any of those games.
- Finally, retitle the "Lists" section, and Steve's subforum, to "Other Lists".

What say you?

Chris, I kind of like the idea of the Donkey Kong High Score List having its own sub-forum but I think I know what you are saying. So, when one clicks on the High Score Lists sub-forum then they will see two list links, two score submission links, two general discussion links and one list of rules? Or will it be where we see only two links at this level and one would click on either DK or DKjr and then we would see the same as we do know when we click on the Donkey Kong High Score List? Maybe I don't know the difference between the "new forum" and the "subforum" language. I don't mind discussisng other arrangements, but I can say that I have grown fond of the way it is now. Or maybe we could do the following:

- Keep the Donkey Kong High Score List as it is
- Create a new sub-forum titled "High Score Lists For Other DK Games"
- Change the name the name of "lists" to "Other Lists"

Maybe this will be less work.

I also wondered if it is possible that the Score lists were not as far down on the main page, and maybe they can be re-ordered so that these are listed just under the chatbox or under the general discussion. Not that these are ordered by priority but maybe it will have more exposure that way. Thanks for the discussion, Chris!

I've definitely been thinking about housekeeping because things are kind of a mess right now. I just haven't quite decided on exactly how to restructure things at this point.

Feel free to keep kicking around ideas and offer input here.

My vote is for one major "HIGH SCORE" topic that is structured as follows:

HIGH SCORE LISTS

* Donkey Kong High Scores
* List Submission Rules
* Donkey Kong High Score List
* Submissions
* Score General Discussion
* Donkey Kong Jr. High Scores
* List Submission Rules
* Donkey Kong Jr. High Score List
* Submissions
* Score General Discussion
* Other Donkey Kong Family High Scores
* List Submission Rules
* Donkey Kong 3 High Score List
* D2K High Score List
* Crazy Kong High Score List
* "etc., etc., etc." High Score List
* Submissions
* Score General Discussion

Multiple moderators just need to be on the honor system and not mess around with other lists.  ;D

Also, I think there should be a general discussion thread added to the bottom of the main page for non-DK related stuff. The Shoutbox does a good job of containing those types of discussions, but you never know when there might be a gem worth saving.  ;D
