Why Races? [Archive] - Wizards Community

08-13-07, 11:45 PM Is it just me, or does the races forum get more misposts than any other forum?

I always figured this was because it's popular (as a good race is the foundation of any properly min-maxxed character), but maybe it's because it's near the top of the forum. Why isn't D&D General at the top of the forum instead? Maybe if it was, we'd get less misposts here.

Also, this is more of a general problem I see with the forum organization. Future Releases is first, and yet it's the least used forum in D&D Fundamentals. Wouldn't it make more sense to put it last? A better setup would be to have D&D General first (to prevent misposts to Races), followed by the topical forums in the order they appear in the PHB, the secondary books, and finally the Future Releases forum.

Any other feedback on this issue?

08-14-07, 04:36 PM General forums should be at the bottom. It should be ordered from most specific to least specific so that when someone shows up to make a post, they first see the most precise categories available. General categories should only appear after everything else so that people don't just dump their posts into General before reading their other options.

Then why does Future Releases come first? The PHB is just one book, and there are dozens (if not hundreds) of books WotC hasn't released yet.
