Apr 27, 2010 14:45:12 I originally started this thread with the intention of pointing out that Dark Sun was still under "Other Worlds" despite becoming the third 4E campaign setting in just a few more months. (Discussed here: Link)

Then I took a really good look at the D&D Worlds forums and realized they're kind of a mess.

You have the Eberron forums separated by the Forgotten Realms forums, and then after the second Eberron forum there's another Realms forum. Wouldn't it be tidier to have an Eberron and Realms forum with sub-forums for the Lore and Running [Setting] forums?

Currently it's like this:
Eberron: Eberron Lore

Forgotten Realms: General (where's Eberron: General, btw?)

Forgotten Realms: Realmslore

Eberron: Running Eberron

Running the Realms (inconsistent naming!)

Wouldn't it be better looking like:
Eberron
Eberron Lore

Running Eberron

Forgotten Realms
Realmslore

Running the Realms

Dark Sun
Lore of Athas

Running Dark Sun

Of course, the Dark Sun bit is just my own hopes. ;)

But wouldn't that look so much cleaner and professional, as well as help promote the Dark Sun campaign products that will be coming out?

Two birds with one, uh, forum-re-ordering stone?

May 03, 2010 12:04:12 It's a shame they don't use vBulletin anymore; I have experience with that, especially with forum reordering, and it would take all of 5 minutes. I can't recognize what they're using, but it's very silly that, as an example, the blogging feature doesn't have any sort of RSS feed that my browsers and feed readers can identify. Maybe it's silly enough to fall apart if you move a forum, too, but I hope not.

So does "soon" mean "when-Dark-Sun-is-released soon" or does it mean "when-we-get-around-to-it soon"?
