Hey, this is mainly for Sunahamaru to read, but if you have any other stuff to add, or you just want to discuss possible improvements, feel free to post!

There are a few things that I feel could be improved in the forums.


  • Firstly, i dont think there is a link to the site entry from the forums, there probably should be.
  • There are no "[list]" tags, so its hard to make lists (at least not in the "Full BBCode List".) List tags! =D
  • The blue and grey theme doesnt really work all to well for a medieval fighting game, its a bit too high tech. Maybe something with reds, blacks or browns would work better? Guild also needs to have themed colours.
  • The site entry page is rather lacking... It needs more exciting stuff, and a reformat id say.
  • The forums has no title bar or anything to show what the forums is for, or say "The Council of Lords" with a nice picture.
  • There are way too many sub forums, Warhammer 40k Online and Kotor Online forums probably arent needed, you could just have a single "Other Games" forum, or redirect it to Off Topic.
    There is also a news and talk forum for War40k, Kotor and for WAR, thats a bit of over kill.
    You should just have a single "news" sub forum, and have any news you want in there, these should also be locked and have a separate forum for discussion of any news.
    You have an Ideas and an Improvements sub forum, thats a bit silly, just have an ideas one, as all improvements are ideas.
    There is a Warhammer Online sub forum, and a Council of Lords sub forum, im pretty sure CoL is a WAR guild, and hence all topics in there will be about WAR, how about just a general discussion forum? and in the discription write: "For general discussion about Warhammer Online:AoR and Council of Lords"
    The "Classes" sub forum should also be a sub forum of the General Discussion that i mentioned, or at least part of the "Warhammer Online" discussion, its just silly to have them separate.

    If you were to use this you would have 1 news topic, under sub heading "news", you would have "General Discussion - for WAR and CoL", "Off topic", "Ideas" and "Improvements" sub forums in the "General Forum" sub section. And thats all. Less sub forums is much cleaner and more productive then having lots with no topics.


Im sry if you think im a bit harsh Sunahamaru, but i just want to help you improve the forums to be the best they can.
If you need anyone to help you with HTML code, art and graphics, forum layout or moderating, i can do that for you if you need it.

Please take it all into consideration Sun, thanks for reading!

EDIT: just another note, hyperlinks are the same color as normal text, so its hard to find the links, and they probably should be underlined, thats just general syntax =)
