Better with only one forum?

[NickMiddleton]

To be honest, I'm not that bothered at present - I tend to use the "new posts" function anyway to catch up on what's been added since my previous visit at the moment, so I don't tend to notice the structure that much. I'd prefer plain and direct names however, just to make it newbie friendly: if a forum is about settings, why not call it "BRP Settings"?

Cheers,

Nick Middleton

Well, to be fair, with the low posting currently, its unlikely anything will scroll off if you come back in two weeks. That's kind of the point in why splitting now was probably premature.

I'm more in favor of creating the framework you will need ahead of time rather than changing things after they're needed.

I'm a proactive rather than reactive person.

It won't bother me one little bit to see a forum sit empty and unused for a month or two until the game is released, but it would bother me to have to search through one overloaded forum with 15 different topics in it to find the topics I'm interested in.

As someone who runs a few forums, one of which has several thousands users and is very busy, trust me on this, as Sorloc said you want the ground work laid out before hand because changing things afterwards will get messy and confusing.

I vote there's no need for more than one forum (not yet, anyway).
It's good to see what everyone is talking about at-a-glance. Although navigation is easy, I don't want to spend time doing it unnecessarily. I don't have to read threads I'm not interested in (currently).
Add more fora later as need arises - I'm sure it will!
