[Feedback] Forum Reorganization
Posted: March 3rd, 2018, 1:09 am
Per the announcement, we're going to be consolidating the forums to help trim the fat a bit. A 'first draft' at this reorganization is below, so please provide input if you'd like to make any changes before we put it into place!
KEY:
• Section
- Forum
+ Subforum
----
• Welcome
⁃ News and Announcements (merge in awards, which can be posted here if necessary moving forward)
⁃ Introductions
⁃ Feedback and How-To
• The Kingdom
⁃ Lion King
⁃ Lion King II: Simba’s Pride
⁃ The Lion King 1/2
⁃ The Lion Guard
⁃ The Lion King Remake
⁃ Beyond the Lion King (Merge in TLK awards, Creators, TLK on Broadway, TLK-Related Links and Advertising)
+ Lion King Marketplace
• The Fandom
⁃ Fan Fiction (merge in planning)
+ Original Characters
+ MLK Writing Contest
⁃ Fan Art
⁃ Other Fan-Created Media
⁃ Role Playing (merge public and private-can just tag those in the title)
+ Discussion and Planning
• The Lounge:
⁃ Member HQ
+ Q/A
+ Birthdays
+ Personal Issues
⁃ The Den (merge in Disney, Graphics Forum [or archive—that forum’s well and truly dead], and World Issuers [can just tag these moving forward, seeing as that area has been quiet for a long time])
+ Entertainment (merge all of its subforums)
⁃ OT Creations (merge all subforums)
ARCHIVED FORUMS:
• MLK Radio
• Awards
• Characters: Characters can probably be discussed in their respective movie forum? Although I suppose for characters that are in all movies (which I guess is a lot) there could be confusion about the right place to discuss.
• Poetry Contest
• Fan artist of the week
• Off topic links
• Role Play (OT)
Consolidating will help us focus on topics and areas that are most active, and it helps the overall forum impression not have sections that haven't seen a post in years.
