Well, we have a forum! But I don't like the setup. I was thinking something like this: Welcome Center -Introductions (Citizen app thread located within) --Recruitment Office -Link to "http://w11.zetaboards.com/Barrayar/register" -Information Center (Important announcements pinned, basically the Info. Kiosk and "State of the Region" combined) -Voting Booth (During voting times) Barrayar -Barrayar --Game Room --Shared Nation -Roleplay --(Whatever is needed, will be decided at a later date) -Debating Hall (For IRL debate) -Regional Reform (For political debate) I'm fine with pretty much everything below that, though I'd like for the Ministries to be split up a little bit more. Really, I just got bored of writing this and now I'm distracted.

"Come join us by the barbeque, or come splash in the pool! Have a drink, and talk about whatever comes to mind." Why is that the description for the debating hall?

Because originally it was meant to be a social place. I feel not everything should be serious.

Keita, can you remind me what your original organization was? I know there were things I liked about it. |

I'd agree with this. Okay...here's what we're going to do. We have an organisational genius here. Our Zdenka's a trained librarian, so she knows a thing or two about how to lay things out properly. Let's have her draw up how the forum should be. Personally, I have complete trust in her.

meep? Sorry for being grouchy at y'all. I'm not actually trying to shut down the discussion. I do have Opinions, but I am also trying not to be a control freak. (Sometimes it takes an effort, but I do try. )Okay, I've moved around a few things -- what do you all think now? I would kind of like an "administrative office" for people to bring things to the admins' or founder's attention, or appeal admin decisions (according to a formal process which will be laid out at some point), or petition for redress of grievances if we start getting too high-handed. But I'm not sure about adding another main section to the forums. Thoughts?I am also terrible at coming up with good names and descriptions for things, so re-naming suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

I'm fine with them. I liked it better the way they were before, but they'll do. ![]() All that should be necessary for that is either a thread or a subforum somewhere in... the Information Center? Sounds about right. ![]() Though, I'd like for the "Suggestions and Improvements" subforum to be moved down into the main category, instead of being in the Welcome Center. Also, I still think we should have a link to the "Register" page. Face it, the button is small and kinda out-of-the-way, and some people can't find it. Also, I believe it is possible to make such a link only visible to guests, so that could work to keep it from annoying those already signed up. |

*nod* That sounds fine to me.
Yeah, I can do that.
That sounds reasonable. Where should this link be? Anyone else? |

*looks blank* You can add a link there? Or do you mean post a thread? |

Add a link. It looks like it should be a subforum, but it's a link. I forget what it's called but I think it has some kind of funny name. I could do that if you made me an admin again. >_> |

Oh, that thing! Yes, I think I know how to do that. I don't have time now, but I'll do it when I get back this evening. Edited by Zdenka, 28 Jan 2013 - 23:23.

And -- done. Staff and guests should be able to see it; everyone else, not. |

But there was Barrayar in Barrayar in Barrayar. That makes no sense.

Can you make a forum called BNN (Barrayar News Network) in the IC part of the forum and a Subforums called Western Isles of Naybra? It was something we had in the TUL and it helped me get IC. Would it be possible? It be also nice to have a regional one for campaigning and other important announcements. |

Do you mean in Roleplaying, or something else? I'd probably put OOC regional announcements in the Info Centre. |

Roleplay. IC = RP.

Which reminds me...if we're going to have RP here, there should probably be a map. Andy's seen the kinds of maps I can make. Andy, you want me to make one for Barrayar? |
