Just wanted to drop a brief note that I have been reading the posts in here, and I'm thankful for all of the great feedback.

tea_and_blues: We're hoping that there will be a bigger place for flavor topics once we get the forum cleaned up. It's been a common thread between the users and the mods that the main forum can make CAP appear more rigid than it is. All the process threads choke everything out, and since we take the process as a very serious endeavor some of the flavor appeal can be lost. We're hoping a reorganization will help strike that balance and keep competitive threads focused while giving artists and writers a little more space.

Hell, I'd love a "What's in a Name" or "Non-terrible Dex Entries" Threads, lol.

phoopes: A little too structure heavy on this. We'll have an archive for the CAP Process, but everything else we can do without a separate subforum. CAP Discussion and CAP Competitive are completely viable in the main forum.

Yilnath: I asked the questions together because they sort of feed into each other. The main thrust of the thread is how our main forum should look when people enter. Obviously if a CAP is going on, those threads will be on the front page. But there's no reason to have 50 pages back worth of closed polls and process threads, our first forum shouldn't be doing duty as an archive, in other words.

You've all done a great job in answering these questions. Once we start archiving, I'll unsticky this thread, but I'll leave it open for further discussion since it won't be crowded out as quickly.

[17:55] <&Deck_Knight> It would be a lot easier for him to Cite and Prune if we made him a mod.
