New Forum Section: Announcements

Hello!

Today we have a new Forum category for everyone, Announcements!

What is this for?

That party or event you want people to come to on your home street or in Ur, a new group you would like to get some members interested in, resource routes you'd like to get some interest in, things of that nature- this is for you!

We're going to be moving topics over there, so if you wondered where your invitation to the Glitch Games medal ceremony you set up has gone, check the new forum.

In addition, we also have a new FAQ section which explains the different Forums and a little about posting in here.

  • Thanks for adding this...though I'm used to Announcements being the things that the devs announce as new stuff...however, I'm sure I can get used to this being the player announcements folder pretty quickly!

  • I'm concerned that this will reduce visibility for player-organized events. Would most players even consider viewing an announcements page if they weren't already involved with a particular event?

  • Thanks TS/Kevbob, this will certainly clear up some of the general forum clutter!

  • "Would most players even consider viewing an announcements page"

    It may require a little getting used to. At some point, we may have the forum open to a landing page which gives you a taste of recent topics in all forums, so you can choose where to go from there.

  • Kevbob, I think a landing page would be most excellent!

  • Definitely love the idea of a landing page with teasers. Thanks for this, you lot.

  • I think we also need a "Simple Question" category. When the game went into release last time and we were flooded with new players the General forum tended to fill up with "Where do I get salt" types of questions. You had to search through all of these to find the forum discussions that you were interested in following. Also General might be renamed General Discussions to differentiate it as discussions rather than questions.

    And, yes, I have posted this to the Ideas forum.

  • Announcements seems a bit off to me as well. "Activities" might be better, since it seems like the idea is collecting threads about things to do, and since people looking for something to do might check there first.

  • @Loupin thought about this too xd

    @kevbob +1 for all-forums landing page

  • I think this new forum section makes a lot of sense and was much needed.  The one thing I'd say, though, is that the social stuff -- groups, player-organized events, opportunities for collaborative play -- is of more interest to me than a lot of what is now in the General Forum.

    What I'd really like is a separate forum for Staff Topics and a two-pane display that always shows Staff Topics (and only staff topics) in the top pane and lets me choose which of the other forums I want to come up as the default in the bottom pane.
