Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heh, yah, the guild set up is kinda old. I first put everything together when there were still only like, 50 or 60 guild members.

What kind of overhaul were you thinking of?

We do have a sub forum for inactive threads - Thread Heaven, but haven't had much time to move all of the inactive threads there.

I'm hoping that we'll soon be able to get back on top of that.

I did think about moving campaign threads to their own sub forum, but people tend not to check them regularly, which is why I left them in the main. I could do a new area for discussions, like I did with the custom creations, but again people don't really check them, so the threads there tend to die.

I think that stickying the active campaigns may work the best, since that would keep it in the main area where people could check up on them easier, and leave the discussion threads unstickied.

I dunno, putting the guild campaign in it's own sub forum for neatness and all that is what eventually killed it. People didn't bother to check that area of the guild and would forget to post.

I'm all for doing a re-org of the guild and making things easier to find, but the campaigns should be on the main page. I know some guilds have it so that once a campaign is active for X amount of time it's moved to a sub forum, but I'm not sure if that would work for us here. Maybe just sticky it if it gets going?

As it is though (and from what I've seen in this particular guild so far) putting the campaigns in their own sub forum would hurt them more than help them.

I am open to any suggestions about other sub forums you all would like to see here (like a non-dnd area, a discussions area, etc).

Same here, but I was thinking more along the lines of taking out/deleting some/all of the old useless threads that nobody even bothers with anymore. That sticky the active games sounds like a great idea too though! I wouldn't mind helping out with anything, I too could use something to do while I'm waiting for people to post in campaigns or even show up for games.

let me look, that only thing i can think of is the character sheet page if we still have it. I remember how mired it was with the separate games running and different characters being played by the same people.

EDIT* well i went and looked, but i don't really have any idea how to un-bog it.

I"VE GONE CRAZY WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I know I'm new, but I'd like to make a suggestion for the character sheet section. I know you've got it already mentioned in one of the stickies to post your characters by name lvl, class, etc... but that seems to be going unheeded.

in order to clean things up (and this suggestion would take awhile to implement)

Create a sticky which can be updated by someone on crew, where each player's active characters can be listed (or alternatively, a set number per player).

each character name is set as a link, so that it links to the actual thread containing it. you're probably thinking, "but thats how the forum itself should work already." technically you're right but I feel doing it this way would allow for a lot more control over organization. they could be sorted by campaign, or level, or merely inactive, and active.

As I said this suggestion would be alot of work, but it would make it so there was only one thread anyone needed to check. just tell people that they have to link so and so their character's page when they start using them, and what campaign it's for, then that person can update the page.

if this is unreasonable, i understand, but i don't know how much you're willing to put in to organize it.
