Popular Post Superbuu3 Posted October 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think it would be a good idea to make a seperate project platinum subforum as we are going to get a lot more of the topics and in time it will make it a lot harder to track current events for people just browsing the community forum. I think it would be most suitable as a subforum for the trophy checklists, but just being a subforum in community events would suffice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Could say the same about We Plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbuu3 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Could say the same about We Plays I know youre joking, but as people wont take that as a joke. My threads are only running 3 or so at a time, its hardly flooding the forum. Besides the plat threads will be getting regularly bumped possibly knocking current events off the first page.

TheYuriG Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Could say the same about We Plays Take the We Plays out and the community tab pretty much dies. There is the pier solar, plat rain, plat racers and a few lotteries, but that is it. Unlike PP threads, we plays dies after a certain ammount of time, when people are done with the game, so it's irrelevant that they get 'lost' on other pages of the subforum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka Langley Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Drop it in a subforum identical to how Announcements, Member Interviews and Forum games are organized, but keep it under community so community doesnt die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I was only half joking, and I wasn't referring to yours only but all the others too. Personally I think it should all stay as Community Events but meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm around that wont happen, besides even without me theres a ton of events running. Tbh I was only half joking, and I wasn't referring to yours only but all the others too. Personally I think it should all stay as Community Events but meh I was away for a little while when the majority of the threads came up if I decided to post for an update in each of the plat threads I would knock current events off the first page. That could potentially happen each time a new member signs up and checks out that section. If you think i'm being biased Id be more than happy for a current event section which houses live events but that will be way more work for the mods as they will have to constantly move topics as they die or end.

Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I kind of agree with you buu. Not for the fact that we plays gets bumped, but the fact that the amount of project platinums are getting huge. It'd be extremely difficult to find a particular one without the search function. Plus, it'll stop people from making constant threads (as the main pp has strict rules). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Ookami Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It'd be extremely difficult to find a particular one without the search function. Main thread -> choose the one you are looking for. That's why the links were put there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post damon8r351 Posted October 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2015 Eventually, we're going to need a subforum to organize and find all the subforums. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Honestly, I don't think the event forum is crowded enough to warrant another sub-forum, and we can't just go asking for another sub-forum for every event that takes off. Especially right after the events start. We don't know how long these PP threads will last, if all of them will be popular, and how long each thread will be active. Here's an example, when trophy hunting leagues started popping up, people asked for a sub-forum. And now there's only 3 active ones. Making a sub-forum for a single type of event just isn't the best idea. The same thing could happen to PP. Right now everyone and their mom is making one and people are joining up, but if it gets to the point where only 2 or 3 of them are even active, or people lose interest all together, then it would just be a largely dead section of the forum. Which is never a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Putting the PP's in a Community sub forum, similar to the Off Topic's forum games, is a great idea. Not to be "that guy" but, it's similar to what .org does with their platinum/100% clubs and that is an organized section of their site, considering the amount of threads made with the theme.

NotAFoxAnymore Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 One look at the Community Events section and I'm starting to see why this is a good idea... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo_0113 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) The main Project Platinum thread has been pinned which has all PP's linked. Fairly easy to keep track of all if you use that way. A new sub forum could be good though but not necessary.

A new sub forum could be good though but not necessary. I think the problem isn't keeping track of the PP events, it's finding the other events running. The best answer is most likely to split the forum into two, one half for "finite" events and one for "endless" events (better names needed!). Basically the first would be for events that have a fixed end, e.g. we plays, platinum rain, trophy league seasons etc. and the other for events that will run until people loose interest (potentially years) e.g. PP and maybe the latest platinum/rarest platinum etc. threads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already asked Sly about this a while ago, but according to him the current section suffices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I agree with this, not because I want to keep track of them, I just don't want them clustering the section. Edited December 9, 2015 by Arkthur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I actually thought about suggesting this. Good thing I searched first. Hell, it even turns out that I already commented in this thread, too. I guess that makes this more of a gratuitous bump then, really. This idea makes 100% perfect sense and is supported by the entire community; it must be implemented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah, at this point the Community Events section just looks cluttered and I can imagine it being confusing to new members. It's hard to find non-PP events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 If we're throwing ideas, could the eventual subforum have 2 sub-subforums? For Japanese-only+partial PPs (so people know what to avoid ) and for stackable PPs? So people immediately know what kind of PP they can expect without going to the main thread.

DEMON Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Definitely makes that part of the forum much more easier to navigate through and actually notice threads other than Project Platinums. Good job, Sly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
