Just wanted to know if the state of the Masterwork board is ok as it is. As of late I have seen many random threats popping up, and other, designated threads disappear. I myself have opened quite a few threats about some ideas, and all in all its a bit chaotic. We even have a succession fort thread here now.

So, does anyone have a good idea for a better sorting? I can ask Toady for as many sticky-threats as I like. Like: "Announcements/News", and one for "Current Poll". Future of The Mod or something like that.

It also appears that many people rather open a new thread for a single question instead of asking in the DWARF/KOBOLD/ORC QUESTIONS threats... no idea how to make those more obvious.

Single topic threads just make more sense to many of us. Easier to search for, easier to find. I understand your desire to keep things organized but questions get overlooked when the Gameplay threads get moving quick. Many forums have a strict 'one question per thread' rule, so that's what some people are trained to do.

The problem is titles like 'help!' that are completely nondescript. That's why I try, when making a new thread, to make the title clearly identify the topic.

I agree that having all the important threads like bug reports, releases, general discussion and the community projects thread could be stickied. If possible it would be nice if there was a subforum for the masterwork mod subforum for masterwork succession forts or a stickied thread that lists all the forts.

Id say sticky question threads for each race + technical questions and suggestions

[Meph]

Yeah, hehe, a sub-sub-forum. Toady is going to kill me.

A thread with all succession fort links sounds like a good idea. I tried to add this to the "Content Repository", but I have a feeling that not many players use it. For sure no one who makes a succession thread has ever said: Please add me to the repository. ^^

Making all races suggestion/question/bugreport + general questions + suggestions would mean 11 threads. Thats 13 with the 2 that are already stickied, almost the entire first page... I cant do that.

Masterdiscord: If all questions are in one place, then people can go there, use the search function and see if their question has been asked before. Guess it works with single threads too, because they can only search the board.

Personally, I wouldnt mind a stickied "BUGREPORT" thread, for all races. All bugs get reported there, makes my work a lot easier. Its just that people have to say: Race, Tileset, Modversion... which is something people dont do half of the time. And a "ANNOUNCEMENTS/NEWS/DEVLOG" thing, to allow people to follow the progress. Dont know if that should be a locked or open thread.

It is good as it is now. No reason to change it too much.

I agree with Vabalokis: some more stickies could be useful. Add
[Dwarf] Bug reports, [Dwarf] Gameplay questions, [Dwarf] Suggestions
[Orc] Discussion
[Kobold] Discussion.

In the Orc and Kobold threads a link to Bugs related topic can be placed in the first message - might need to ask schmakemupagus for his thread.

Haven't seen messages and updates from him for a long time. I wonder when he'll be back from travelling.
