Essentially what Glen said @Imkihca — we think it's important to the government officials to feel out what they need. (So tell us!  )But you raised some good points. What if we do this: Quote:[Regional Government Category] Terrible name, but we could include postings for Legislators, Fellowship and SPSF all under there?

A common registration forum may be easiest in the Introduction section. This would include registration for Legislator status, Fellowship Program, and the SPSF.
In the proposal, there is one "Executive Forum" with the private forums underneath. In this setup, the MoRA would like to have the private forum (password protected) with "Floor 7 - Leadership" underneath that, also password protected. If the MoRA should have a public forum as well, then I'll take the same setup underneath that public forum instead of underneath the executive forum. ![[Image: XXPV74Y.png?1]](https://i.imgur.com/XXPV74Y.png?1)

I'm personally not stoked on having one forum with all of the registration stuff in it. The way it stands now I think our Introduction forum is a dump that I never read. I'd sooner get it into something workable than have 70-plus page threads going down that people barely read. I also don't think it promotes as much as we'd like. I'll follow everyone else's lead here, but that's my general thoughts on having a combined forum. And, just so I'm clear, you want a Private area and then the "Floor 7" under that private area, yes?

Yes. Basically, the entirety of 117 Lampshade Street that exists now should be folded together into one area except Floor 7 (which needs separate access rights). (Floor 7 might go away in a future term as well)
We don't have anywhere for foreign embassies. Just FYI
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

I'm going to be blunt, but would it not have made more sense to ask us our view on the matter first then come up with this proposal and then see how we like it again? As it doesn't seem like people really like your ideas.

The idea is to spark discussion and move this forward, not be an end all, be all.

Forum reorganization is primarily for the benefit of the backend, as we have so many nested forums it's hard to manage. It's going to happen one way or the other, especially for non-government areas. This thread is for discussion of the government areas of the forum.
As for embassies, I can assure you guys I'll be handling that.

I get where you're coming from with the current welcome area being a bit of a mess but to be honest it's a section that's mostly full of lots of new, short term threads and regardless of what we do I think any actual 'introductions' section is always going to be like that unless maybe we use one large mega-thread for new users to introduce themselves in instead to reduce that clutter? I really do think that a general 'starter' section, as it's going to be the first place new members visit, would be the best place for things like the SPSF sign ups. I think it's important to show them what they can get involved in right away while they're fresh, ambitious and keen. How about something a little more like this? ~ [Introduction Welcome Category] >>[Introduction Forum] >>[Get Involved Forum] >>[Registration Forum] >>[Information Forum] >>[Administration Forum] >>>>>>[Private Administration Forum] If we really want to reduce the number of nested forums then we could have an intro mega-thread, general regional information threads and registrations all together under that main 'Welcome' header for quick and easy access straight away without the need for any sub-forums and if we lock it to new threads then it wont become the jumble our current one is? If we don't want the sign up threads under that main section as well or don't want to use one big thread for the new user introductions then maybe we roll them and their relevant information threads into their own sub-forums instead? I don't think the SPSF in particular needs one thread explaining what it is and another to sign up anyway as we have currently. One could do that same job just as easily, look tidier and save interested partied from having to click about and having the intros in one place will help keep the main section looking tidy. As for the Military Affairs section, I have no objections to it's current position in the proposed layout. If it's set up similarly to the current SPSF section with the SPSF group only view then I think adding a second, password protected forums below it, maybe named SPSF HQ or similar for the General Corps like this should do nicely. ~ >>[Military Affairs Private Forum] >>>>>>[Passworded General Corps Forum] ![[Image: Uy6Tvaj.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/Uy6Tvaj.gif) (07-07-2016, 01:19 PM)Tsunamy Wrote: [EDIT — Now that I calmed down] I don't see what your getting angry at.
