Mods and Mapping should not be split into two boards each.  Sometimes a release might have a problem and the developer asks, and the solution (or at least a link) gets put in that thread, not the "appropriate" board.

So that will continue to happen. And then people with more general questions can ask in the correct forum. Or, the modder can just ask in the correct forum, and most likely get a faster answer, since those who might be able to help may not read every release thread

Generally, as a web designer, I've learned that:
More clicks: Bad
Scrolling: Worse

You learn this stuff when your web teacher is a hard ass  :oops:

Good web design cant be taught.

1st rule:  Who are the users and what do they want.

The goal of this forums isn't hooking new users, its helping current ones.

The '2 seconds to hook and new customer' rule only applies to people selling something, people who come here are already interested, so we have longer to get there attention before they go else where, and as such organisation beats shock and awe flashy marketing hype.

Or at least that how I see it....

The lovely thing about this new setup is there is no longer any space for I HAS A MOD IDEA posts in the mod section. Just what there should be: people who have done mods, and people who are trying to do them.

Shoutbox would just be spammed to its death, get one idiot on here spam spam spam, then another goin spam spam spamz0rz, and we have a spammed up shoutbox no one wants to looks at. Plus we dont get +1 post count for shoutboxes, and we know for some of the forum post whores, post count is everything :)

Make it like this:

- General Discussion
- Specific Topic
--- Every
--- Thing
--- Else

IMO, that would reflect the behavior of most visitors (talking rubbish most of the time) whilst probably keeping the "Specific Topic" forums cleaner for those that want to discuss serious matters there.
