Forum Layout and Design Changes!

**Meatshield718** 25th August 2011, 7:27 pm

As you can tell by now, the staff team have been hard at work on a redesign of the forum. Members and forumotion forum reviewers have suggested that we have too many pointless boards with not much logic to it. The new structure is one that we hope will be more efficient and less cumbersome.

The details and explanation behind the new structure can be found here:

It's all explained there, but the largest change is to the Games section. There are now separate sections for game discussion and community game discussion -- as is evident by the board explanations, Games Discussion is reserved for general conversation related to videogames. All Battlefield, CoD, Halo, GTA, etc. General Discussion will be posted here. The GTA Community Games and Other Custom Games sections are reserved for new UX gamemodes and scenarios. Pretty self-explanatory.

All rulesets for any custom games have been moved to the Custom Games category. If we missed your ruleset please contact us, and we will move the thread for you.

Furthermore, you will now find the UndeadXbox Roleplay and Racing sections under Games. The subforums under UndeadXbox Roleplay have been cut down and condensed into two -- Zombie Roleplay and Apocalypse Roleplay.

The forum redesign can be attributed to a collaborative effort by all the staff team. Feel free to ask us any questions or post any suggestions.

At the same time, we'd like to introduce the Back to School layout created by DeadApe in collaboration with Flask! The layout is a pretty big change, so again, any suggestions or questions are welcome.

Everything looks great, I think the chalkboard banner is my favorite addition though.

Kudos to Deadape and Flask for their talent for making us look awesome. And to the rest of the Staff Team for their work on the new category design.
