Anno... etto... http://springrts.com/phpbb/index.php

I was under the impression that there was a hardcoded limit on the number of listed subforums, but somehow an administrator just upped the limit. I would like it to be bumped by, say, 2 more.

If that's not in the cards, perhaps subforums which exist only to direct traffic to other sites could be removed, or else moved to a new category, "Things you should really ignore, visit the AA forum instead."

Hey I'm being nice right? I could ask for them to be alphabetical.

This doesn't make me particularly happy. AA and Evo have never had a link, but Argh gets a new forum and immediately has a link?

I have more posts in my NTai thread, therefore I demand an NTai sub forum.

A single thread cannot justify an entire sub forum.

What's more, argh and the starwars people ALREADY have their own forums.

They should both be removed and merged into the existing forums. Why an arghs projects forum was even added at all, there's nothing in there!!!! Most fo arghs posts are in other peoples threads as it is!!

AF just because it has no posts yet doesn't mean that it shouldn't exist. The Evo forum went for a good long while without any significant activity (sort of a once every day or 2 days sort of thing).

Your evo forum should never have been created, essentially, it was a kick in the teeth for your existing website and forums, not to mention divisive for users, and a usability problem.

I'm not sure if Zsinj actually requested the IW forum here or if he just rolled with it but either way I personally wouldn't be offended if the IW forum was disposed of and the art topic moved back to art and modelling. It probably gets more views there anyway.

Probably better let WZ comment before pulling the trigger though :P

+1 for evo getting linky on basic forum page, we've already had at least one person posting elsewhere about it because he couldn't find the correct subforum.

We should be supporting our projects forums on their own sites, not condemning them to death with rival forums on this one.

We have no excuses for not being able to setup a forum for our projects, the subforums should be used for refugee setup, or for people who really have no means fo creating their own.

Turn the Evorts Arghs projects, and IW forums into links to the official forums. Help redirect traffic to their websites and strengthen their own forums.

This is ridiculous. You guys are treating a weird phpbb quirk as a GIANT CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE LITTLE GUYS. FUCK THE MAN.

Or, alternatively, somebody could have messaged me and I might have done something about it without any of this fuss.

That's because it appeared to be moderator action that caused this, not random forum user breaking moderator rules
