So this came up in a random conversation a couple months back and I thought I'd push it now because boredom.
The idea is to clean up and restructure the forums ever so slightly.
For brevity's sake, here's what I propose:
1) Make Arma its own category. Place it between General and Gaming.
As it is, it's just another board among boards, though it has every right to be far more visible instead of being diluted with mostly inactive boards. It contains four subs, each of which has between one and six (in the ridiculous case of the 124th) sub-subs. These are thus completely drowned and easily missed at a glance. Arma is AW's staple game, its arguably most significant source of traffic and overall far too massive to be compacted as such.
All previous subs would become their own boards. Re-arrange as you see fit.
2) Give EU3 / AWE more visibility.
In this proposed Arma category, give AWE a central spot. It has no distinguishing features as it stands, hell, its full title is even cut off on the main page. If there's one thing the server needs it's attraction and this I consider a good first step.
3) Clean up the stickies.
In both the general Arma forum as well as the Enhanced sub, it takes an awful lot of scrolling to get to the latest threads. This isn't helped by the veritable cart load of subs at the beginning of the Arma forum. The latter would be remedied through the reorganisation as per point 1), the former requires a clean-up of threads. Unsticky some, merge others.
For general, non-AWE purposes, give Arma another dedicated Guides sub, for example.
Feel free to discuss. I hope this is clear enough.
Cheers.
