I hope Kaijin doesn't mind me posting this, here were his suggestions he sent me in a PM:


Forums you should think about deleteing
Riddler's Tower
Debate Shrine
Video Hut
King Cairoi Castle (yes, I know the story behind it, I still don't see a point. It's just another spam forum, in my opinion.)
Comet Saga

Forums to merge if you still don't want to delete
Riddler's Tower + Video Hut < Entertainment / Music
Debate < General Discussion
Comet Saga < RP Realm
Modern Gaming = Classic Gaming

And honestly, the Sim/RP-Discussion should probably just be a subforum in the SIm-Battle Arena. I've been thinking about this for a while.

Something to add
Newbie forum - Nothing made you feel quite like a xeogamer then when you get spammed with 50 or so of our users with threats, welcomes, and cookies.
(That Honestly does make them want to stay.)


I'll post idea's later. Until then, throw some suggestions up or anything.

Riddler's Tower - Yes.
Debate Shrine - No. A place for debate works fine. It lets those who would like to debate (or read debates) do so with easier navigation and vice versa for those who do not. It's a good filter and forum in general.
Video Hut - Maybe.
King Cairoi Castle - No. It's a place to have fun silly things around. If gone, such topics for the bizarre, etc would find it's way into General. Then it's clutterville, Xeoland.
Comet Saga - Yes.

RIddler's Tower- Yes. Could be merged with the GD of the forum.

Debate Shrine- I am saying Yes because nothing good has ever came out of it. It was one personal opinion, then an insanely long factical post, then a big "Fuck you" to the OP, here is how I see things, and repeat.

Video Hut- Yes, put that in the entertainment section.

King Cairoi's Castle- Maybe. Change it to something else buside that fake King

Comet Saga- Worst Idea ever imo.

Yeah, King Cairoi's Castle ... was Crazy before, I guess I just kind of forgot and left it like that.

Sorry Cairoi ... I'm afraid your Kingdom has fallen.

Riddler's I can see being gone.
Video Hut I don't mind, maybe could make it a sub-forum under crazy. I dunno.

... Oh yeah, don't forget we have sub-forums! Haha.

Comet Saga, could definitely be moved. Same with Sim/RP Discussion, put under one of the bigger forums.

I really don't think video hut belongs in Entertainment/Music, for the same reasons we decided on last time. E/M (for that is what I'm calling it now), is about movies, music, books, etc. that are coming out, or we just want to talk about, where Video Hut is for random crap we find on YouTube.

In defense of Video Hut, I created it some time ago when Zabuza and many other posters would pull embeds off YouTube and post them all over Entertainment which cluttered it ridiculously.

I mean, threads with embeds are cool if they're about new trailers and such, but mixing in videos of people combining Mentos and Diet Coke, doing their Numa Numa impersonations, or taping an elephant pulling fecal matter out of another elephant didn't exactly fit with movie and book talk.

In the end, if it must be eliminated as a forum, please incorporate it as a subforum somewhere.

If you must get rid of the old mud pit that is Debate, it might work well as a subforum under General since much of it is pulling recent news and discussing it.

Riddler's, to be honest, every time we get a forum like it around here and the discussion comes up over its lack of activity, I usually am on the side that wants to get rid of it. It's a fun forum and all, but it's not used most of the time. Subforum to Crazy.

Crazy's been needing a new name, and I also say nay to nixing it on the grounds that that forum needs to exist as an asylum for the all ridiculousness we've got bouncing off the walls around here in unbuckled straight jackets.

In regards to a n00bie forum, I think we got rid of it for the fact that most people just spammed it. And since we used to be all about quality over quantity (HA, yeah right!) back then, it was removed so people would be forced to post something more than, "Ur new! Hi!!!!!"

I was gonna type out my own thoughts, but Rogue's got the right idea.

I will add though that it's dangerously close to hypocrisy to suggest a newbie forum that you admit will end up spammed and yet suggest deleting the craziness forum because you consider it spam.

Yeah, I'd say Video Hut is fine where it is. Edit: Okay, I didn't notice I repeated myself here ...

It wouldn't be the same without a Crazy forum either, though we just need a new name.

Keep the Crazy Forum, delete Comet Saga and Riddle, and make Video Hut a subforum. Everything else is perfectly fine the way it is. Why do we need to get rid of or basically hide so many forums?

Also, I think it might be cool to start having a lot of contests here on the board, and maybe a Contest forum'd be cool for that.

Yeah, we could start off with the first Contest being Scheme/Banner, we can kick the story contest up a notch, and try and just come up with cool contest ideas to bring in some activity.

Hottest anime chicks.



















I had to.

That made me think of Cyro, lol. Wonder what he's up to?
(he always had "Babe of the Week" in his profile or something like that).

Don't delete Comet Saga, just merge it into RP. I'd like to keep the threads for nostalgia's sake.

I personally enjoyed some of the things that went on in the Riddler's Tower (Mafia I, II and II and Hurts and Heals), but at the moment all thats being posted there are jokes, games or riddles that never get finished.
Contests forum could be fun for a while, and I like xeo's idea for the first contest

Yeah, I'm not going to literally delete anything. Not a fan of that myself. I'll just be merging stuff more than likely.

I was actually thinking of starting a Mafia IV sometim soon, but I might have to do it in craziness.

Bad idea, remember what happened to Interviews when it turned into a subforum?

That's right, a year later, people STILL thought that interviews had stopped for a long time. No one really notices sub-forums enough for us to have one. Instead, I think that we should just merge it with another forum.

I also just realized that General has never undergone a name change...let's do it!
