- There already is a listing of games ran on the forum, as well as their GM and the game system used. It's at the bottom of the portal page, which can be accessed by clicking Home up above.
- Thats what the player recruitment threads are for as well as discussion. Hero Central did not have such a thread to discuss a game before joining it, that was done in PM's. RPol doesn't either. I figure, the same can work here. No need to make a board for every game to discuss it before people join, it would clutter things. Plus, a lot of people, myself being one, would rather discuss the game they migh be joining in private with the GM.
- Already done. Simple Machine Forums using the standard BB code used by all BB's. There is a uniform standard. In the FAQ post I even provided a link to the BB code.
- I would prefer FAQ requests be sent to me privately. I am trying to reduce clutter. Not sure why we would need a board for me to shoot down one person just so I can accept another's requests. Plus a FAQ is not about requests, its about informing people about how to do many things that are commonly asked about. FAQ's are a pool of questions commonly asked, their purpose is to answer the same question you were about to ask before you even ask it. They are not meant for you to ask questions. Generally anyone who has a question about the forum asks me directly, cause I'm always online in some form and easily found. A lot of the current FAQ posts I made are derived from those questions. And a few others have posted questions in the General Discussion board. Honestly, for now, I'd like to keep it that way. I tend to be a hands on type of guy.
All good idea's though Shadow, keep it up.
