Hello. This is SD Ryoko.
....
Some suggestions were made. Here we can discuss them.
Off Topic Forum
Well, I dont really feel a need for that now. Thats really what 'General Discussion' is. It says, post off topic here. Seems kind of pointless to have 'on topic' and 'off topic' forums, eh?
Sig / Graphics Forum
Certainly we could have that. But at the moment, I feel it will be a ghost town. Unless there are others here that do sigs - that I am not aware of. Maybe once we grow a bit, this will be more of an option?
Seperate Market Forums
This definetly not needed yet either. Were just not busy and active enough yet to make this effective. If things start to get out of hand, I'll definetly put thought to it.
Remember, may take some time to grow a bit. Takes usually a month to score on google. My record is one week. But we havn't totally 'plugged' the site yet because we are so busy with all this server stuff.
Your thoughts are most welcome.

Why rename it?
Its GENERAL discussion... thats the whole point!
PRO
I offered private 'Guild' forums but asked you had 5 ppl who were members. Kinda pointless otherwise....
Less of course, other conditions, like union..

So we can post anything in that forum, it doesn't have to be about SRO?

I spent all that time on forum descriptions
And no one read. Sniff.
General Discussion
A place for general discussion about Silkroad Online and other topics. Talk about the game or ask questions. Post off topic threads here.

I recon General Discussion should be for Just Silroad Topics and Imagine this Forum without an Off Topic section to keep the cr*p away
plus the more forums the easier it is to find specific subject you need

It'll never happen cuz
Silkroad threads spin into off topic threads every day
Off topic threads spin into silkroad threads every day
Ya can't win!

The solution to that would be Moderators to enforce board rules. Most forums have them, as far as I have seen.

True indeed.
I try not to regulate what people talk about - its opressive. Tis human nature to transition from one thought to another
General discussion being the pit of random thought.
I do move things where they belong the most when I see them, and ocassionaly clean.
This community is too small yet to break into multuple forums.
You'd have overactive forums, and 'ghost town' forums.
Take our time - grow - and see where things land for now. If we need a bigger home, we'll expand!

Lol will take a while to grow but its getting there and aslong as the forums we have are clean there is no problem

No fear.
I am considering the off topic, and a graphics/sigs forum.
But I need more posts to move there until thats ready.
Otherwise, there would be like, 5?
Patience.
Growth? I am not worried. We are very good at what we do.

Busy Little pumpkin arent you?

Indeed. This is why I stay up till 3am. Usually, anyway
But you see on thehelper, some forums have 13,000 posts, and some 200. Some areas are really active, and others not.
The members projects used to be combined in the WC3 forum, where they got a lot of attention
But then we seperated them, and now they are almost totally ignored. No one looks in there, no one takes the time, and no one participates.
So I'd like to structure things here a little slower than expected.
