Tavern of the Blue Hand

Obviously, there is some confusion about what I said.

Polls are FINE the way they are. They do NOT need to be limited to one forum.

Tavern says "Come in, have a drink! The place to post about anything, as long as it doesn't belong in one of the other forums."
-Now see, we're missing two subjects, which are filled by the Tavern. One for off-topic (about every forum has one...) and one for general MUD stuff, and ONLY general MUD stuff...so, the way I see. Things should change to...

Tavern = off topic everything (except forum games)
On-topic = NEW category for MUD stuff that doesn't belong in the other forums.

I take back what I said about post counts and replace it with:

POST COUNTS ARE AN APPROXIMATE COUNT OF HOW ACTIVE SOMEONE IS. If they have a post count of 100000, then you can expect them to reply to any post you make. Sometimes cool, if you need a lot of responses or opinions, sometimes not...but, okay.
And...it shows when they signed up on the post listing too...oh well.

So yes, but the main thing is that we must have 2 seperate tavern-like forums.

I hate to break this thread, but I find that the new system (whereby Forum Games posts do not appear on the Recent Discussions List) is rather annoying. I now have no direct link to the aforementioned forum. Please could you add a link to the 'Forum Games' section below the Recent Discussions box?

It's not that hard to click 'Forums,' then scroll down and click 'Forum Games.' The whole point of getting the games off the main page was so that they didn't waste screen real estate.

Most browsers support some form of 'quick links.' If not that, then going their manually isn't that hard either.

Anyway, that's just my opinion on the subject.
