<-- oldish fart.
Too tired to quote properly this morning:
ExAtmos, yeah, we're on about the same page with the OOC stuff. My comment was more I keep seeing more pre-OOC planning of characters / etc. More info then I want to know, pre-scripting plot-lines, etc. What you're talking about has been around, for me, for as long as I can recall.
On the subforums, I wonder if the new site could save filters. (aka don't show these tags, only show these tags) then we could get the best of both worlds.  Visibility for those that want it, the ability to filter for those who don't want to see stuff that isn't theirs?
On an earlier community site I helped maintain we had similar issues. We had a faction divide with one faction being far more active than the other. To attempt to deal with similar complaints we'd split up the forums into separate areas for each faction but it, in some ways, exasperated the problem. Folks would log in and see "There's 85 new posts for Faction A, and only 10 for Faction B. The site caters to Faction A."  Maybe a good filtering system would alleviate both perceptions?Â
I don't really know a good answer to it.
I am hoping that if this other Mateus specific calendar gets rolling and they start curating the event feed for that server that it can become the application of record so to speak for Mateus events and also feed the new RPC's calendar. I'm really hoping it has the same level of success the Balmung calendar does in reaching varied audiences.
