The following is in- development, thus the reason for posting in within the Curia Main Forum.
I have been working on this off and on for past year.
It is my understanding that the forum will be upgrading shortly, so any changes will take place at that time.
Goal/ Justification
To increase ease of navigation by reducing the number of forums and subforums on the main forum page.
Since we can assume CA will continue to make new games, then eventually there will be too many subforums to navigate.
Changes
- The changes based on a Community Focus
- Subforums are listed rather than given its subsection to reduce the amount of space used.
- All game forums are listed in discussion rather than put them in separate subforums.
- Greater prominence is given to the Technical forums. (I noticed that members would often post technical issues in the general forum despite that fact that a technical forum exists. I pushed it above the general discussion forum so that people will see first and post there.)
- I included the Modding Community and the Historical Community as well. I made slight alterations to both.
These changes were shared with staff members. What you see is the result of those changes.
I decided to include "all multiplayer gaming" together. (Hotseat, Multiplayer, Role-playing)
The creative workshop is its own community.
TWC Library and University are given their own "Super Forum" to promote awareness of their existence.

*I have no personal opinion on where the Scriptorium belongs. it would depend if you want to raise awareness to its existence or not. Perhaps, it is sufficient enough.
