Since joining the forums back last year, there's been just one, small problem that I have with this community: the forum layout. A successful forum should be as simple as can be. A couple of benefits from a well-organized forum, are as follows:
- Adequete Organisation, which promotes ideal navigation for users locating areas of the field they're interested in.
- Active discussion, all over. One area covering a variety of topics becomes active, which develops growth.
- More staff members assigned to just one catagory can maintain it to greater effect, as it becomes much easier to moderate.
I haven't been involved with Team Uber, so there are likely to be forums, et. cetera, that I have not included or have merged with what I feel is their relevant catagory. But here is, for now, a rough idea that I have designed:
Team Uber:
-News and Announcements (subforums: tu shoddy battle) or you could just announce server issues in N&A without a subforum
-Suggestions, Help and B&Es
-Welcome
-TU Shop
The Mezzanine:
-General Chat (subforums: Gaming Central)
-Art and Graphics (subforums: SOTM)
-Forum Games (Your Firebot, so to speak)
Pokemon / Competitive
-Pokemon Discussion (subforums: in-game discussion; competitive discussion, warstory archive)
-RMT (subforums: rmt archive)
-WiFi
Team Uber: The Future
-Battling Emulous: Suspect, Tiers and LCC
-TPC (subforums: completed projects; revamps; user created projects)
-Team Uber Academy
-Analysis Workshop (subforums: implemented analysis; finalized analysis; D-B analysis
-Guides, Articles
Events
-Tournaments
-Seasonal Tour
-Team Uber League
-TU Clans
Comments, suggestions?
Thank you
