#1

Hi all

Just wanted to let you know that there will be some changes made to the forum structure. The main reason for this is to clean up older subforums that are not being used anymore, and to make the forums look nice and clean again :smiley:

I’ll update later with more information on these changes.

[QUOTE=BussyB;2538640]… and to make the forums look nice and clean again :D[/QUOTE] Does that mean that from now on, spammers will be required to post all their spam in a single dedicated forum? :stuck_out_tongue:

Good one, I’ll see if the Beta label can be removed after the big overhaul

We can only wish for that to happen, life would be much easier;).

Restructuring is good and can make the forum much better. My thoughts on this are to always ask the community for advice and feedback of the good and bad, and when it comes upon time to do what you are now, make changes that ultimately benefit the feel of the forum as well. Your community is your best asset because they will definitely give you the advice you need for free…
