Site Top Level Organization
#1We have a pretty solid site structure but there are some details that need to be worked out for the new site. I think it would be better to have individual threads on the subcatagories of each of the main catagories, but we do need to hash out the majore organization subdivisions.
The way we are going, there will be no more forums. All the interchanges and such will be developed through the various catagories. Many descriptions ripped straight from Moonhunter's post here http://www.rpgcitadel.com/guild/index.php?topic=1621.0
Plots - Are we really providing plots by definition or are they just hooks or both?
Items -
NPCs - will be changed from Characters.
Lifeforms -
World Elements - This is the overall collection point of the current settings.
World Forge - Will probably be a catagory under World Elements. These are where the approved worlds will continue to be developed. The subcatagories here will be the name of the world.
Articles -
General -
Rants/Opinions - Not sure but sounds interesting.
Site FAQ/Articles - This site is going to need its own area to teach how to use it I guarantee as well as articles by some on the best way to do things, etc.
Roleplaying - Will be like the moderated one now. Must be approved or at least organized in some kind of manner. Can't just start one out of the blue is the point I think.
Any others? -

#2New Names are in Bold
Plots Seeds: This allows us to have smaller plot listings, rather than full plots. These plots are here to inspire someones own plot. We might expand a seed to write out a full plot, but by definition, you can write a plot out without knowing the characters
Items of note We don't write up generic items. We write up special items.
NPCs - will be changed from Characters. Yay!!! Persona Dramaticus is an option (if the spelling is correct)
Lifeforms - This is the only messy section. Part of this is world elements, lifeforms for a specific world. Many of the lifeform entries will be linked to specific settings or such. But then again, so will items of note and NPCs
Settings: These are worlds that have already been forged and we have moved them to their own "domain" so to speak. World's never need to be moved to this stage and it could be ignored.
World Forge - This is where worlds in process and elements for them (like magic systems or martial arts or coingage systems) would will be posted. This is where neighborhoods, city images , etc.
I would like to propose a LIST marker for posts. This would be used for things that are done in the Idea Scroll, ideas that need to be fed upon.
Articles -
General - I would put Rants/Opinions in here. Consider it our new annoucement, tavern, and natter area.
Site FAQ/Articles - This site is going to need its own area to teach how to use it I guarantee as well as articles by some on the best way to do things, etc.
I might suggest an "ideas area". It would take a 250 or so character. It would replace our ideas area. It would be used for ideas that you don't want to flesh out or don't have the time to do. But this is an optional area
Roleplaying - Will be like the moderated one now. Must be approved or at least organized in some kind of manner. Can't just start one out of the blue is the point I think. -

#3Added most all of this to the current frontpage. Still getting a rough idea of all that we will cover but the exact specifics aren't super important to the build. New categories will be able to be added pretty easily.
