Member ranks?

We discussed as part of making some steps to modernize our community boards a bit, changing member ranks. My general thoughts were to consolidate them a bit so there's less of a divide between everybody, if possible... and perhaps new colors or names of the ranks etc.

So thoughts? Discusss it up a bit and just like with the shoutbox in a week we can make some changes.

Can remove the crowns in favor of something, idk, cooler? lol (Ideas?)

Any inactive leaders/admins/mod(lol singular) can be made members (lol troggy hasn't been on since feb.)

Just removed the IRC op group lol moved blaster to member, for the future we can generalise the IRC halfop group (rename to something more general) to include IRC Ops

Sorta unrelated, but I've always been for consolidating these forums a bit. Since we have fewer topics floating around, it'd be easier if we had fewer places to check for them.
Television+Movies and videos = TV, Movies and Videos
Humor merges into General Chat (get rid of WTF saturday)
RL Pictures + Graphics and Pictures = Pictures
Other Games + Gaming Systems = some sort of general gaming forum

In the hierarchy, I considered them the same as true cutthroats.

Chris, looks great, only maybe general and suggestions can be switched? Since general is, by far, the most used forum.
and maybe move pictures to the bottom. this might just be personal preference, not a huge difference here...

I didn't mean to imply an order to that list, just consolidated forums in their respective sections.

Ooh alright , that's exactly what I meant though, thanks for the visual!

Gaming, however, has a bunch of subforums and such
As far as I know, gaming will only be able to have one level of subforums, so it'll go


Gaming(with misc. gaming discussion + console discussion)

  • RPGs
  • FPSs

or do away with the sub forums completely

I don't believe gaming needs any sub-forums whatsoever. We can afford to allow it all to boil together in the stew that is gaming.

With your structure, where does a game like Super Meat Boy fall into place? I think that instead of having sub-forums for different game genres, we can just have different topics for each game we want to talk about. Or we could introduce tags to the topics in there. Example - imagine each of these is a topic title:

[Halo Reach] What Do You Guys Think Of The New Maps?

[Black Ops] Just Got My first Chopper Gunner. Holy Shit!

[WoW] How About That Turkey-day Event. Gobble Gobble.

[Halo Reach] Master Chief Theory

Most of this sounds good. Main thing I think would be nice is a change of color for member rank the grey just looks well..dull.

lol

Consolidating the forums is a great idea. As for ranks, maybe order them by who's been active the longest? Of course with the exception of Mods, IRC ops, etc

Chris, i think they should be more spread out and specific, rather then four general ranks

Those were just tiers, there'll be a couple types of mod/admin/leaders + several types of members.
ps: amazing bg
Pps: get in IRC (And get thermite back!)

And vote for member color? we were black and blue before so I'd go for blue!
