    erm, this spawned because map comments appeared in the wiki thread recently. I realize we don't have a section for map discussion. Also, resources seem to be somewhat scattered and finding it difficult to find threads of relevance. I think its mainly due to a much larger playerbase now compared to beta. So proposing a wee bit of re-structuring.

    New sections:
    PVP Map rotation ? Discuss maps here, duh

    Re-organization:
    Card Hunter Chat, Gameplay, and Strategy to split into
    a) Card discussion - Discuss cards here, duh
    b) Item discussion - Discuss items here, duh

    Pull anything that's a resource into say,
    c) Fan-made resources section ? So, counting off my head here...
    wiki, faqs
    progammer's inferior items list
    turin's spreadsheet
    item drop thread maybe ? etc

    Any player run tournaments should have its own section:
    Tournaments - Host, organize, discuss tournament here, duh...yeah, Peasant could go here.

    The rest of the forum can stay as is... Tots?

    edit: I'm not great with naming those sections, so duh...

    Well, CHCG&S encompasses far more than just card and item discussions... I think it's a stretch to classify, say, the Gotcha! Rules FAQ as merely card discussion. And what about discussion on the AI, questing, gold-farming, etc.

    I would like having a space to discuss maps and tournaments.

    Agreed...CHCG&S could be retained for anything that doesn't fall under the rest.... sorta like a General Discussion section.

    I think Gotcha Rules FAQ could classify under fan-made resources/game resources. It would be easier for a newcomer to browse help, faq, player made sheets/data etc... all in one place.

    Oh, nice point about AI, quest...I missed that...maybe another section for Adventures and Quests only ?

    I'm always loathe to dissect the forum into too many subsections, but one where people can go directly to get help with maps is a good idea. A little re-org should help.

    Is it possible to set up SUB-FORUMS?

    With existing forums in XenForo? Akin to pulling my spine out of my body through my navel.

    Yes, it's possible but holy moly would it be a bit of a pain.

    Looks like I *just* pulled my spine out through my navel and it wasn't painful at all! But now I can't sit up straight. :(

    Any chance of migration ? Or its not your call to make ? Xenforo worked while the game was in development but now that its officially released, maybe time for a re-think ?

    Actually, XenForo is really nice. It just behaves a bit differently compared to some other forum software I'm used to (like vBulletin), which tends to make some things trickier and other things easier. But now that I realize that you can set categories and they act like parent forums and sub-forums it all works out.

    Understood, any chance of changing the default skin to one of Ben's cool art ? Dunno, background could use an upgrade, fresh coat of paint...gah, I'm derailing this thread. :(

    That's really up to Ben and Jon. It's not super-exciting, but it *is* easy to read :)
