That sounds like a volenteer
I would prefer to have a ROS forum, and individual campaign forums as theya re useful to pass info on etc, especially when you have a campaign with a million extra characters. However I dont need the sub forums.
The idea of having a record of what is happening and what is coming up is nice but would be a lot of work, it was hard enougth doing it once or twice a year.

I like seperate forums for campaigns, makes it much easier to ignore for those not involved.
As a sub forum in RPG, you'd have to open the RPG forum before you realised a new post is not relevant.
Also not keen on chit-chat, I'd prefer General/General banter, or open to any good suggestions.
I'd agree with paz that general banter is possibly too braod - I know I owuld actually love to use the rpg forum for what games I'd like to run and such, but don't as I'm sure no-one ever checks it. So Chit-chat, or something that specifies only chatting etc would be a better name, so as to make people think maybe I hsould be talking about games in a different thread.
Actually, with that in mind, oculd you put Chit-chat (or whatever we call it) below the games boards? That way people would see if there was activity on them even before they got to the chatting place.
LARL is possible too geeky - we want people to know what it is, not have to work it out. From the name of a board it should be obvious what it's for, not display how clever the admin is. It#s usability, not design... (Although, it *is* a cool idea for something else, just not sure what...)
How about Chatter Box, Any Other Business, Talk Talk, or similar?
I will bow to the majority of wanting campaign boards, and now you put it that way Dave I can see that a sub-forum may be more problemtaic.

General chat
That sounds fine to me. I can make sure the one-line description below the name makes it clear it's for miscellaneous non-gaming chat. _________________ Matt / paz

I'm happy to trial this if nobody objects.

2)games planned next week.

A quick update: I've made some of the easiest changes, such as deleting the long-dormant areas (to 'clear the decks') and will do the rest later on. _________________ Matt / paz
