Since we're finally moving towards our plan of merging various forums, this topic is for people to find out about what we've done and ask any questions they may have.

Mergers that have taken place:

Assembly, Senate, Bulbacast, Welcome Center -> Grotto
Pokemon Creatures, Pokemon Science, Pokemon World, Pokemon Characters -> Pokemon World
Pokemon Art, Creative Corner, Multimedia -> Fanart
Pokemon Fanfics, Creative Corner -> Fanfics
Mind Games, Party Games, Clubs -> Fun, Clubs, and Games
Entertainment, Technology, Other Video Games, Webmasters -> Geeky Misc
Tower of Bulba -> Misc (IIRC)


Future plans:

Dissolve LotRS mostly into Geeky Misc (with some stuff into regular Misc)
Create a Pokemon General Forum
Move various News topics, as well as Manga and TCG into the aforementioned General Forum
Clean up the categories


Note that none of these changes are irreversible as no topics have actually been lost - we may still need to move a few individual topics into proper new forums, but that shouldn't be hard.
 
There still needs to be a section focused on the Pokemon Games. Thats what is most popular and is what is needed.
 
I don't think it's been proposed to merge the Pokémon Games forum. And Anime seems to be more popular.

I'm not liking the clubs and games merge. The two just don't seem to go together.

I also suggest killing the RPG forum. It doesn't have any activity and we can always recreate it later if necessary.
 
The game board has not announced to be merged, but i think BMG should try to influence the board more. I agree with you on the RPG and games though.
 
I propose that since there is no longer an introduce yourself forum that introductions are kept to a single sticky topic.

'Cause frankly, topic popping up every other day saying nothing more than "Hi" and getting about 3 responses is very little more than SPAM.
 
Also, BMG needs to sponser a MMORPG, like pokequest. that will get some hits.

You're influencing BMG by suggesting we don't go ahead with a move we weren't going to make?
 
I don't like the clubs being mixed with the games, either. It's rather on-par with mixing fanart and fanfics in my opinion.

Other than that, though, looks good.
 
When i said influence the board more, i meant the pokemon game board. not the whole thing overall.
 
well i only have a rough idea but create boards like, the classic games (R,B,Y,G,S,C), the side games( Stadium series, trozei, dungeon etc.), Advance games. That about what i can think of. The main thing it would be under would be The Pokemon Video Games.
 
Kater, in case you didn't notice, the point of this whole thing is to have *less* boards, not more.

Word


Looks good I guess~
 
It's about [censored] time. >_>; I liked the NHO forum separate, though..but oh well. It hasn't felt the same in the recent years, anyway. ;__;
 
So does anyone have any problem with giving clubs their own forum again?
 
Yeah, I don't have a problem with that either.

And I agree, the clubs do need their own forum.


It just doesn't look right, next to the games for some reason......
