Forum Arrangements

[cool29801]

Hey guys. First off, I want to say that I am loving the new site and color scheme, much better than the red!

I just wanted to say that if you need any Janitor work (aka Moderating) I'd be happy to. I have a good 3.5+ years of Moderating experience under my belt from the Guitar Zero/GZ2/FM/Rockfan forums. (They are also proboards)

guitarzero2.proboards.com/index.cgi

I'm mostly the one that organized the setup and sub-categories to how they are now, and I would like to suggest this forum to be similar. I love having lots of categories and sub-categories, as it makes the forum in general clean and directs traffic easier.

Ex: Take a look at the Rockfan part of the forum (must be logged in), you can click on a category like Submissions, and it has 4 sub-categories. Though you can't make sub-sub-categories with proboards, it remains really organized and laid out for the simplest of users. (noobs) Of course, we wouldn't really need as many categories, but we can make whats needed.

Mainly, would look similar to this:

Forum news
-News
-Upcoming events

Phaseshift
-Development News
--Changes
--Bug Reports
-Download
--Phaseshift
--Tools and utilities
-Open Discussion
-Songs
-Tutorials

Mods
-Full Mod Packs
--GH Series Mods
--RB Series Mods
--Custom User Mods
-Menu's and artwork
-Meters and Hud
-3D Stages
--High graphic stages
--High performance stages
-Particles/misc

General
-Off-Topic
-Other Music Games
-High Scores

Admin Only
-Admin discussions

I'd be happy to be the one to get the place setup like this, if you guys are willing to allow me. Above is only an example, not what I'd actually do. (that would require discussion)

What say ye?

yea we could use a mod but might take a while before they'll be much going on here, its still a fairly quiet project at this stage

with the sections i'd like to let that go by what we need as we need it, not just make say 20 sections that stay empty for months, i'd group things at the start and if a certain area becomes active that deserves its own section then we'll split it off, so the forum would be shaped by the users

O.o mods seem very unneeded at this time though, i was going to bring this up after the forums got going some

btw while were on the topic, why not make an introduction forum? that way the General forum doesn't get flooded with them

**EDIT**
also, when the time comes for when the forums are more active, I also wouldn't mind giving you guys help with modding and such ^_^
