Blondebeard Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 What sub-forums should we have on the permanent forum. Should we have the same we had on the old MILegend forums? If I remember correctly it was something like this: -[b]General Discussion[/b]: General Monkey Island discussion Off-topic Fanfiction Help -[b]Monkey Island[/b]: The Secret of Monkey Island LeChuck's Revenge: Monkey Island 2 The Curse of Monkey Island Monkey Island 5 -[b]The Legend of Monkey Island[/b] Site feedback Forum feedback Maybe on the future forum we should reduce the Monkey Island categorie to only two forums: Monkey Island 1-4 Monkey Island 5 What do you guys think?

Junior™ Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I think we should leave out the help forum and let everybody post his/her questions in the specific game sub-forum (by the way, I think we should keep all five of them). The help forum brought a lot of confusion along.....first of all for new members. Besides that I think we should stick to the old system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Should there even be game-specific discussion forums anymore? I remember that a lot of people confused them for help forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 True they might, but if you put the forum description clear enough. Then i think the most n00best of the n00bs can tell the diffrence. And besides thats what mods are for, to move threads and delete spam and lock off topic threads. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondebeard Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 The problem here is that newbies don't read descriptions. Mods can move them but our old forums had a lot of moved threads. I think the Help forum is really needed in case they want to make general help questions like "where can I get all Monkey Island games?", etc..

ED Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I think general discussion is basicly the indivual forums anyway If you removed them and let all that stuff be posted in general. We should then have a MI 5 board as that is always hot disucsion then the fan Stuff forum and Help. We should then place Offtopic and Games forums in another section then finally have one feedback forum as two would be a bit overkill as feedback threads are not that often posted. -General Discussion: General Monkey Island discussion Monkey Island 5 Fanfiction Help -Offtopic: Offtopic Games forum -The Legend of Monkey Island Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondebeard Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 Yeah, Monkey Island 5 forum is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 do any of u think there should be 2 monkey island 5 forums? so you havent got just 1 filled with spoilers coz some people wont have the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior™ Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Meh, maybe we should just wait for the game to come out first. And besides, we have spoilers for the other four games as well and there are still people who don't own them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathookly Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 It should be as it was before. General Discussion - Monkey Island Discussion - Off-topic discussion - Games Forum - Fan Art/Fan Fiction - Help forum Monkey Island Discussion - The Secret of Monkey Island - LeChuck's Revenge - The Curse of Monkey Island - Escape from Monkey Island - Monkey Island 5 The Legend of Monkey Island - Site Feedabck - Forum Feedback - Announcements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 The only reason I would surgest my arangement is because even as a mod I'm not sure sometime if something should be in general discussion or in the seperate MI forums. There is too much of an overlap between them and so the seperate forums can go a long time with no posts at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IE_ Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Myself... I liked how they were before... most seemed to do well with that... but hey, it's up to you guys. -IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior™ Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 In the end the actual topics are the most important thing about an online message board. I'm sure the new MILegend forum will work out very nicely....no matter how the different boards are splitted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Personally I don't like having loads of sub-forums. Why not just have Monkey Island, off-topic and feedback? ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atalante Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 mh...i think that general discussion goes along with a help-board pretty well..so why don't make it one... general MI-discussion+help, the overview would be far easier and questions would not be repeated all the time in the different sub-forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondebeard Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Maybe something like this would work: Monkey Island Discussion - Monkey Island - Monkey Island 5 - Help General Discussion - Off-topic discussion - Forum games The Legend of Monkey Island - Site and Forum Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 i'd go with that blonde but where would fan stuff fit in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondebeard Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Fan stuff could go in the Monkey Island sub-forum, but I could always add another forum for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 yep sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atalante Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 yeah I guess we need an extra fanstuff-forum. Because on the old boards there was quite alot fanart and fanfic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondebeard Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 About the fanart..we're going to use phpBB and it doesn't support post attachments which means that the fanfiction/fanart forum might not make sense. Anyway, the new forum is already done and ready to run. We're just waiting for the backups (which I'm still not sure if we will be able to convert to phpBB2) and the dedicated server. P.s.: Does anyone remember or have the sub-forums descriptions, it would eb appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atalante Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 ahhh i see mh...i looked for a screenshot...but i guess i deleted it... but the descriptions were something like that as far as I remember: Off-Topic: Talk about everything else/not MI-related stuff in here Games Forum: All your Forum Games in here POST COUNT 0 General Monkey Island Diskussion: Everything MI-related NOT A HELP-FORUM well something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathookly Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Why don't we just make new ones up? Monkey Island Talk everything you want that is in any way related to Monkey Island 1, 2, 3, 4 or the whole set. You can talk from Charles L. Charles' ridiculous name to the mistery of Guybrush's pants. Note: NOT A HELP FORUM Monkey Island 5 Know something we don't know about this upcoming game? Want to share some thoughts or ideas about the next Monkey Island game? It's all in this forum. Help Having trouble getting somewhere and the site doesn't help? Crashes, bugs, technical problems that you can't fix? Post all those problems here or just help someone out. Off-topic discussion In here, you can talk about everything you want that doesn't fit in any other forum. You can discuss from how many cells a sheet has or chit-chat the latest movies. All advertisments, even Monkey Island related, go in here. Forum games Those itty-bitty funny little games go in this forum, even Monkey Island related ones. Post the game or just go along playing it. Note: POSTS COUNT 0 HERE. Site and forum feedback Is there a problem with our site or forum? You have new ideas for our site or forum? All those stuff are posted here. Announcements are here too. I have a lot of spare time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
