No wonder they think they're doing such a great job! But serious hat on now: Have mods considered leaving a link to the new home of a thread after moving it? Like a locked one-post topic where the original one was that just shows a link to where the thread now is? So a thread called "What's the best team to use?" gets moved to its correct home and a thread appears in general discussions called "Moved: What's the best team to use?" the thread just contains a link to the new location of the original thread and is locked. As the 'link thread' is locked it will drop like a stone off the front page, but people who were posting in that thread will be able to spot the link and know where the thread has moved to.

We literally have a thread in this forum (on page two now) with the word "Suggestions" in the title that the creator of this very thread posted in, and it wasn't moved. Most of the traffic in this forum is 'suggestions' - even if we had a topic called "Let's chat about 1* characters," where does that go? Character discussion? If the talk has constructive posts that offer suggestions, does it get moved there? If it's a bunch of "1*s suck why are they here" does it just get closed for not having any substance? Can we get a description of what posts should go in this forum, instead of just a "these topics should go in other places?"

One suggestion of mine gathered more views, upvotes and comments in the few hours it was allowed in the General Discussion subforum than it has got in the weeks since it was moved. Since then, other people have created new threads to suggest the same thing because they never saw mine. Those were moved too, in a state of irrelevancy.

The only problem with the lists is that they include posts or threads from other forums (ATPQ, MtGPQ, and Other Games) Also, what happened to all the stickied threads in "Character Discussion"?

This right here is why we are trying to draw attention to the other subforums. If we can drive the traffic there, we can get more constructive responses in the proper places. When new people come to the forums, and read the subfoum names, they will check there for the info they need.. if everything is bunched in general, it is hard to find anything. i know 100% that suggestions and bugs are the ones people want viewed the most in general discussion.. but they need to be seen by D3/Demiurge, who has given assurances that those subforums are monitored very regularly. Yes upvotes and comments from other forumites are great, but some of these great suggestions get lost in the clutter of general, and never get read.

However, I can't help to believe that "getting lost in the clutter of general" was kind of an useful, natural selection-like filter? Truly irrelevant or infeasible suggestions were ignored by the community and quickly swept aside out of sight. Helpful suggestions about features that the community as a whole care for and what to see fixed or implemented gain tons of volume and remain relevant in the first page for days. In the other subforums both the good and bad suggestions gather the same kind of attention (none) and devs have to go through them all. I understand that you are trying to increase traffic to those forums so maybe we can have that too there, but I'm sceptical. We'll have to wait and see.
